Return of ‘Badjelly the Witch’
“Badjelly the Witch” is so popular that the Canterbury Children’s Theatre has brought her back once again to delight and awe Christchurch audiences of all ages. Spike Milligan’s “wickedest witch in the world” will appear live on stage at the Repertory Theatre until Saturday, September 6, as naughty and witchy as ever. This is her third visit to Christchurch, after sellout seasons in 1979 and
1980 when 14,000 people saw the musical play adapted by Allanah O’Sullivan. This time, the title role is played by Lynna Aldridge, supported by Bruce Gordon sis Dulboot the Giant, David Land and Alison Harding as Tim and Rose, Toni Bushby and Gillian Lynch as Lucy the Cow, Margaret Five as both Midwiggle the Worm and Dinglemouse, Lloyd
Woods as the Appletree and Jim the Eagle, Greg
Lovatt as Binklebonk the Treegoblin, and Andrew Hampton as the Shark. “Badjelly the Witch” will be on stage at 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 7 p.m. on weekdays throughout the primary school holi-
days. A special feature the Canterbury Children’s Theatre has introduced is that all seats, for children or adults, cost only $5 plus booking fee. People are recommended to book now at the Town Hall.
