BILL KENWRIGHT BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT WITH THE REALLY USEFUL GROUP PRESENTS

TIM RICE & ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S LEGENDARY MUSICAL Jesus Christ Superstar exploded onto the musical scene in 1971 - stunning audiences and changing the face of musical theatre forever. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock opera tells the story of the last seven days in the life of Jesus through an extraordinary, groundbreaking score. As compelling today as it was at its inception over forty years ago, Jesus Christ Superstar has some of musical theatre’s most legendary songs from I Don’t Know How to Love Him, Everything’s Alright and Gethsemane through to, of course, Superstar. Leading performer Glenn Carter returns as Jesus, a role he has played in the West End, on Broadway and on film. Musical theatre star Tim Rogers, whose theatre credits include Carousel, Whistle Down the Wind, Jersey Boys and the title role in Jekyll & Hyde at the Union Theatre plays Judas Iscariot, while X Factor finalist Rachel Adedeji stars as Mary Magdalene direct from the UK and European tour of Thriller Live. Produced by Bill Kenwright and the creative team behind numerous blockbuster musicals, Jesus Christ Superstar tells the world’s oldest story with the superb theatricality they have brought to Evita, Joseph, Cabaret, Blood Brothers, Whistle Down the Wind, Starlight Express and many more.

It’s 1963 and the world is changing. Bobby and Laura’s first single Dreamboats and Petticoats went to the top of the charts - but they haven’t been able to repeat that success with any further records. Norman and Sue have settled down to non-marital bliss and a baby! But Ray and Donna seem blissfully happy. The advent of the Beatles and the Merseyside sound is inspirational. But will it inspire Bobby and Laura to have one more shot at stardom, Norman to ‘get off the drains’ and find that singing voice he has longed for, and Ray to realise his ambition and manage a really top pop act? All will be revealed in a follow up with the same wit and charm as Dreamboats and Petticoats and great songs from the next period in pop history.

Gratefully acknowledges the role of AMY POWERS in the lyric development of Sunset Boulevard BLOC Productions are delighted to present Sunset Boulevard, following on from last season’s highly acclaimed production of Sister Act - nominated by NODA for ‘Best Musical’. Sunset Boulevard weaves a magnificent tale of past glories and unfulfilled ambitions. The plot revolves around Norma Desmond, a faded star of the silent screen era. Having been discarded by tinsel town with the introduction of ‘talkies’, her path is accidentally crossed by a young screenwriter, Joe Gillis, and she sees in him an opportunity to make her comeback. This is truly one of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s finest scores, the haunting melodies of which complement a dramatic storyline.

ROMEO & JULIET English National Ballet brings the world’s greatest love story to the stage with Rudolf Nureyev’s inventive and passionate choreography and Prokofiev’s exhilarating score performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic. Sumptuous costumes and sets transport you to Renaissance Verona, its piazza bustling with market traders, street entertainers and the restless factions of the Capulet and Montague families. Amidst the grandeur of the Capulet’s ball, our star-crossed lovers meet, unleashing a fateful sequence of events, from the romantic balcony scene to their tragic final embrace. Full of action, humour and drama, Rudolf Nureyev’s awardwinning production of Romeo & Juliet was especially created for English National Ballet in 1977 to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. The Company has since performed it worldwide to critical acclaim.

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. His skin was pale and his eye was odd. He shaved the faces of gentlemen, Who never thereafter were heard of again... The genius of Stephen Sondheim takes this tale of poverty, madness and spiralling depravity to a whole new level. He creates a musical recipe which lodges in the memory like the richest flavours and aromas of your favourite meal. Though after this performance, we’d guess that won’t include any variety of meat pie... Performed by Welsh National Opera, James Brining’s thrilling production of this musical masterpiece is set in the late 1970s/ early 1980s. Clever lyrics drive the story along with pace and pitch black humour, drawing you, almost against your will into the world of a man pushed over the edge of reason by a corrupt and powerful elite. CO-PRODUCTION WITH WALES MILLENNIUM CENTRE AND WEST YORKSHIRE PLAYHOUSE IN ASSOCIATION WITH ROYAL EXCHANGE THEATRE Originally produced on Broadway by Richard Barr, Charles Woodward, Robert Fryer, Mary Lea Johnson, Martin Richard, in association with Dean and Judy Manos. Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of Music Theatre International of New York.

WNO’s Autumn Season also includes two great operas which tell the stories of characters suffering emotional and mental turmoil - Bellini’s bel canto masterpiece I PURITANI and Handel’s poignant baroque treasure ORLANDO. Both operas offer many moments of sublime music and drama you will carry with you for weeks to come. The time is WNO - book now. I puritani and Orlando are sung in Italian with English surtitles. Sweeney Todd is sung in English.

Matthew Bourne’s haunting scenario is a gothic romance for all ages; the traditional tale of good versus evil and rebirth is turned upside-down, creating a supernatural love story that even the passage of time itself cannot hinder. Featuring spectacular designs by Olivier Award winners Lez Brotherston (set and costumes) and Paule Constable (lighting). The sound design by Paul Groothuis takes the audience into the heart of Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score in specially recorded surround sound. Don’t miss this chance to experience a new classic in New Adventures’ growing repertoire - it might just be another 100 years before Sleeping Beauty re-awakens.
