the musical phenomenon direct from the west end

★★★★★

‘JAW-DROPPINGLY AMAZING’ Manchester Evening News

Direct from the West End, the smash-hit musical Ghost comes to Birmingham for three weeks this Christmas.

Based on the phenomenal Oscar-winning movie that captured the hearts and imaginations of a generation back in the 90s, Ghost is a timeless fantasy about the power of love. Sam is trapped as a ghost between this world and the next, trying to communicate with girlfriend Molly through a phoney psychic in the hope of saving her from his murderer.

Adapted for the stage by Bruce Joel Rubin from his own Oscarwinning screenplay for the film, the amazing special effects and dazzling staging are by the multi award-winning Paul Kieve (Inner Magic Circle member) and Tony Award-winner Matthew Warchus. With a score by rock legends and Grammy award winners, Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard (Michael Jackson and Alanis Morrisette), and featuring the unforgettable Unchained Melody, Ghost is a rollercoaster ride of romance and comedy with dazzling state-of-the-art staging.

‘It’s rootin’ tootin’ rollicking fun’ WhatsOn Stage

Set in Oregon in 1850 Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is the story of Adam, the eldest of seven brothers, who goes to town to get a wife. He convinces Milly to marry him that same day.

They return to his backwoods home. Only then does she discover he has six brothers - all living in his cabin. Milly sets out to reform the uncouth siblings, who are anxious to get wives of their own. Then, after reading about the Roman capture of the Sabine women, Adam develops an inspired solution to his brothers’ loneliness - kidnap the women they want!

Denise Van Outen in her brand new show!

‘Van Outen a bona fide national treasure’ Daily Mail

‘She’s a true star’ Daily Express

Stephanie Canworth has it all. She’s beautiful, has a successful career, a supportive husband and she’s a media darling; life is great.

But it takes just one Facebook poke from a blast-from-the-past and all the old memories start flooding back - candy floss, kisses, first loves and broken hearts - and with the old memories come the old temptations.

Some Girl I Used to Know is a touching and hilarious brand new one woman play featuring a mix tape of songs from the 80s and 90s including Culture Club, Donna Summer and Soft Cell. This rom-com stars and is co-written by Denise Van Outen, the musical theatre favourite acclaimed for her Broadway and West End roles including Tell Me on a Sunday, Chicago, Legally Blonde and also her appearance on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Inspired by the smash-hit multi-million selling albums of the same name, the West End sell out sensation Dreamboats and Petticoats features some of the greatest hit songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll era.

The dazzling success of the first seven albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sent the message loud and clear. With over 3 and a half million copies sold and several weeks at the Number One spot in the compilation charts, the Great British public were saying that they didn’t just want to listen to pure nostalgia: they’d love to see it as well.

Featuring classic tracks from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy Fury, and many more, including Let’s Dance, To Know Him Is To Love Him, Shaking All Over, Bobby’s Girl, Little Town Flirt, Only Sixteen, Runaround Sue, Happy Birthday Sweet 16, Let It Be Me, Great Pretender, C’mon Everybody, Let’s Twist Again and many more hits from music’s golden era!

WHATSON STAGE

FEATURING the hits

the musical

inspired by the life of marc bolan

Written by Peter Rowe Music and Lyrics by Marc Bolan This brand new musical, inspired by the life of rock legend Marc Bolan, explodes onto the stage nearly four decades after the iconic star’s tragic death. Featuring some of the greatest pop songs ever written, 20th Century Boy tells the story of Marc Bolan and his band T.Rex, exposing some of the myths and taking the audience on a tearful yet joyful journey through Marc’s fascinating life.

Rocker, poet, electric warrior, king of glam and godfather of punk, Bolan was arguably the biggest rock star the UK had ever seen. ‘Bigger than the Beatles’ the media said. Before his tragic death in 1977, just days short of his 30th birthday, Bolan lived life at breakneck speed, creating a series of iconic images, a string of number one hits and an army of obsessive fans.

Packed with all T.Rex’s 70s hits, staged by Gary Lloyd (Thriller Live) and with a West End cast, 20th Century Boy is a glorious story and celebration of glam rock at its colourful best!

Set in an island paradise during World War II, South Pacific tells two parallel love stories and confronts the dangers of prejudice and war through one of the most celebrated musical scores of all time – Some Enchanted Evening, Younger than Springtime, There is Nothin’ Like A Dame... just three of the songs that have captivated audiences throughout the world.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see one of the best loved musicals of all time!

An amateur production by arrangement with R&H Theatricals Europe Ltd. Music by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. Book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logon.

Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize Winning Novel ‘Tales from the South Pacific’ by James A Michener.

After five sell out UK tours, Hot Flush returns...

Meet Myra, Sylvia, Helen and Jessica in this hilarious show.

Myra had always considered herself a together sort of person.

That is, until she began to develop the symptoms of you know what… and her rat of a husband left her for a big blonde bimbo from his office.

Jessica’s husband has worked hard and they both enjoy the finer things in life. Her life seemed perfect until her mid-life crisis began but she’s coping with the help of her friends and the vicar.

Sylvia has been married to Joe since she was twenty… and has been bored with him since she was twenty-one. She’s now decided that life is for living and she’s making up for lost time.

Helen, a widow, whose only daughter has left for university, is feeling a bit lonely. Helen tries to take one day at a time; it’s just that sometimes, several days attack her at once.

Forget the credit crunch blues and get your girlfriends together for a hilarious girls’ night out. www.hotflushthemusical.com
