Charlie Cook's Favourite Book

“A musical adaptation of the best-selling book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler”

Following a critically-acclaimed UK tour, the musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s beloved children’s book plays a limited West End engagement at the Trafalgar Theatre this festive season from 5 December – 5 January 2025.

Charlie loves reading. Especially books about pirates. But his sister hates it – it’s boring! Can Charlie convince her that reading is fun? Perhaps if she reads a book about a pirate, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading a book about a knight…

Come and delve into a range of books with Charlie Cook, brought to life with puppetry and enchanting songs and perhaps you will be able to help his sister discover the wonderful world inside a book…
