BIZET CARMEN THE MOST SEDUCTIVE OPERA EVER WRITTEN Starring Nadia Stoianova the international mezzo soprano as Carmen and Sorin Lupu as Don Jose.

Unforgettable arias, includes the march of the Toreadors and a spectacular dance sequence by Caspian the stallion, ridden by Ian Van Temperley. Andalucía comes to life, with fountains, date palms, orange trees and a rescue donkey. A set and costumes which richly reflect Goya and Velazquez.

The acknowledged master of psychological illusion returns to the stage with his new one-man show, Derren Brown: Infamous, demonstrating once again why Derren is one of the world’s most renowned live performers; a dark manipulator of magic and mind control. For Infamous, a more ‘personal’ show, Derren is re-united with his close collaborator and friend, actor/writer Andy Nyman. He says: ‘NOW WE’VE JOINED FORCES AGAIN, WE’RE VERY EAGER TO MAKE THIS SHOW FEEL DIFFERENT. THERE WAS SOMETHING OF A TEMPLATE WE FOLLOWED WITH ALL THE SHOWS, WHICH WORKED VERY WELL. IT’S RATHER EXCITING AND SCARY LEAVING THAT BEHIND. THIS ONE SHOULD CERTAINLY HAVE A DIFFERENT TONE, AND WILL MIX THINGS UP A BIT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE OTHERS ON TV OR LIVE’ Infamous is Derren’s sixth show since 2003. He has toured every year since then and been watched by an estimated audience of over 2 million people. He has won two prestigious Olivier Awards, for Something Wicked This Way Comes (2006) and Svengali (2012), and confesses that touring is still his favourite thing to do.

Inspired by the smash hit multi-million selling albums Dreamboats and Petticoats One, Two, Three, Four, Five and Six, the West End sell-out sensation Dreamboats and Petticoats The Musical features some of the greatest hit songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll era. The dazzling success of the first four albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sent the message loud and clear. With over 2 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. In 1961 emotions run high as young musicians Norman and Bobby compete to win a national song writing competition and, more importantly, the attention of the gorgeous Sue! But when Bobby discovers that shy Laura is no slouch on the piano, love and rock ‘n’ roll fame beckons. Featuring classic tracks from Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochran, Billy Fury and many more hits from music’s golden era 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 and Let’s Twist Again.

STARRING ROGER DEAN AND THE LAZY BOYS TUE 17 SEP 7.30pm TICKETS £23 C
SAT 21 SEP 7.30pm TICKETS £22 ATG THEATRE CARD £2 off
If you saw the film Walk the Line then you will not want to miss this fantastic show! Roger Dean will keep you spellbound with his knowledge of the country music legend. Singing classic numbers such as Big River, Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, Sunday Morning Coming Down and Hurt, he perfectly captures the spirit of Johnny Cash. The legend’s music is in safe hands.
Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown returns with his bluest show yet! He’s still rude, he’s still crude and this time he’s turning headlines into punch lines as his rip-roaring brand of banter continues to burst bellies across the country. As politically incorrect as ever ‘The World’s Most Outrageous Comedian’ is far too rude for TV, so this live performance is the only place to catch the flamboyant comedian! If easily offended please stay away!
Since her meteoric rise to global fame, Leona’s incredible voice has captivated millions of people across the world. She’s broken countless sales records and smashed chart records universally. Her 2010 Labyrinth Tour won her critical acclaim as well as reinforcing her position as one of the most successful British female artists to date. See her back on tour in 2013!
