AWARD-WINNING FAIRYTALE MUSICAL THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS TREAT FOR ALLTHE FAMILY

PICK ME UP THEATRE PRESENTS

DIRECTED BY ROBERT READMAN MUSICAL DIRECTOR ADAM LAIRD Be careful what you wish for! Sondheim and Lapine’s fabulous fractured fairytale is the perfect family treat this Christmas. Pick Me Up Theatre are delighted to perform this multi award-winning musical ahead of the 2015 Disney film starring Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp. A Baker and his Wife venture into the woods on a quest to reverse a curse laid on them by the Witch next door. Along the way they encounter an ambivalent Cinderella, a greedy Little Red Riding Hood, a tower bound Rapunzel with hair to die for, a too-trusting Jack of Beanstalk fame, a couple of not-so-princely Princes, three Little Pigs, two ravenous Wolves and the one and only Milky White the cow, but will they all live ‘happily ever after’? Based on Grimm’s fairytales, Into The Woods features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most famous songs including Agony, Giants In The Sky and Children Will Listen. Don’t miss this hilarious musical from the company that brought you Ghost and Peter Pan. MUSIC & LYRICS BY STEPHEN SONDHEIM BOOK BY JAMES LAPINE

Winner of seven 2013 Olivier Awards, this highly-acclaimed National Theatre production embarks on its first ever nationwide tour.

A BRAND NEW PRODUCTION OF THE CLASSIC MUSICAL

Following numerous highly acclaimed productions that include Sweeney Todd and Sunset Boulevard, The Watermill Theatre returns with a new production of the classic musical Calamity Jane. Starring Jodie Prenger (Oliver!, Spamalot and One Man, Two Guvnors) alongside Tom Lister (The Water Babies, Emmerdale) and a cast of multi talented actor musicians, this brand new production gets to the heart and soul of the musical. Calamity Jane can outrun and outshoot any man in Deadwood. Hard, boastful and desperate to impress, she travels to Chicago on the Deadwood Stage to recruit a star, Adelaid Adams. But things don’t go too smoothly for Calamity, as everyone in town favours the new girl and she struggles to keep her jealousy and pride in check. It takes her long standing enemy Wild Bill Hickok to make her see sense, and realise her Secret Love. With an Oscar nominated score that includes The Black Hills of Dakota, The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away), Just Blew in from the Windy City and the award winning song Secret Love, don’t miss this new production which blows into York for one week only.

gallops back out on tour to bring the West End production to theatres across the land (to the sound of banging coconut shells). Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is a kind-of-new musical with a book by Eric Idle and an entirely new score for the new production (well, almost), created by Eric Idle and John du Prez. The latest tour, which is directed by Christopher Luscombe, follows hot on the heels of the can’t–believe-how-successful-it-was Monty Python Reunion at The O2 and Eric Idle’s acclaimed performance of Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life at the 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony - the world sang along, and Spamalot audiences get the opportunity to do so too! During the run, there have been 21 onstage moustache incidents, three suspected cases of swine flu (French pigs!), three outbreaks of nits and 92 pairs of coconuts.

Loveable teen-dreamer Tracy Turnblad is a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart who becomes the unexpected new star of local TV dance programme, The Corny Collins Show, much to the frustration of the show’s villainous producer, Velma Von Tussle. In a tale of teenage tantrums, triumphs and trials, the backdrop for Hairspray is 1960s Baltimore, America, where black is black and white is white and ‘pleasantly plump’ girls certainly don’t dance on TV. Never shy of standing up for what she believes in, Tracy launches a riotous campaign to integrate The Corny Collins Show, making many enemies and friends along the way. With songs such as You Can’t Stop The Beat, Good Morning Baltimore and Welcome to the Sixties; audiences are sure to be mash-potato-ing all the way home.

SUNDAY MIRROR

Following its record breaking West End run, this powerful new production of Reginald Rose’s gripping courtroom thriller Twelve Angry Men has been hailed as the ‘classiest, most intelligent drama in the West End’. It brings to the stage the taut brilliance of the 1957 threetime Academy Award nominated film which starred Henry Fonda, and is considered to be one of the great ‘must-see’ movies of all time.

MON 13 - SAT 18 APR Mon - Sat eves 7.30pm Wed & Sat mats 2.30pm

A jury has murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they decide the fate of a young delinquent accused of killing his father. But what appears to be an open and shut case soon becomes a huge dilemma as prejudices and preconceived ideas about the accused, the trial and each other turn the tables every which way, until the nail-biting climax.

Les Rendezvous MUSIC DANIEL AUBER ARRANGED AND ORCHESTRATED BY CONSTANT LAMBERT CHOREOGRAPHY FREDERICK ASHTON DESIGNS ANTHONY WARD LIGHTING PETER TEIGEN

Kin.

Three programmes of exhilarating ballet in one evening, featuring works by British greats Sir Frederick Ashton and Sir Kenneth MacMillan, and an exciting new work by Alexander Whitley. Ashton’s Les Rendezvous is flirtatious and lighter than air, an irresistibly charming showcase of pure dance technique. Kin. by Alexander Whitley, is an athletic, abstract piece danced to a pulsing, hypnotic score by Phil Kline. And in Elite Syncopations, a dance hall bursts to colourful life with jazz syncopation and a whirl of waltzes and cakewalks. One of MacMillan’s best-loved creations, Elite Syncopations is flashy and laugh-out-loud funny. Birmingham Royal Ballet’s live orchestra accompanies all three ballets.

RECENTLY VOTED THE NATION’S FAVOURITE PLAY

++++

‘BLISSFULLY FUNNY. IN SHORT, A SUPERB, LIFEENHANCING PLAY’ THE GUARDIAN

PASS IT ON BOYS, THAT’S THE GAME I WANTEDYOUTO LEARN. PASS IT ON Called ‘one of the finest plays Alan Bennett has ever written’ by The Daily Telegraph, The History Boys opened at the National Theatre in 2004 to rave reviews and a sell out run and went on became one of their biggest ever hits, winning over 30 major awards including the Olivier and Tony Awards for Best New Play. In a recent national survey this comic masterpiece was voted the nation’s favourite play. Set in the 1980s, The History Boys is the story of a group of bright, funny and unruly sixth formers in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at university. Their maverick English teacher is at odds with the young and shrewd supply teacher, whilst their headmaster is obsessed with results and league tables. Staff room rivalry and the anarchy of adolescence overflow, provoking insistent questions about history and how you teach it. Their A Levels may be over, but their true education is only just beginning. This brand new production is an hilariously funny and exceptionally moving play about the true purpose of education. Alan Bennett’s numerous plays include Enjoy, The Madness of George III, Single Spies, Talking Heads and The Lady in the Van.

Having confessed that performing live on stage gives him the greatest pleasure, Derren is, once again, looking forward to the challenge that comes with being acknowledged as one of the world’s most renowned live performers; a dark manipulator of magic and mind control.

He has won two prestigious Olivier Awards, for Something Wicked This Way Comes (2006) and Svengali (2012). His last show, Infamous, was universally acclaimed by critics and audience alike. derrenbrown.co.uk

ACCESS AUDIO DESCRIPTION

RELAXED PERFORMANCE

Audio description brings alive what is happening on stage for people with sight problems. It describes the action, scenery, facial expressions and costumes. We offer preperformance notes and touch tours where available. These enable you to receive a description of the set or the ability to visit the stage before the performance. They also give details of scenery, props and on some occasions, an opportunity to meet the actors

Relaxed performances are aimed at anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed performance environment including people with an Autistic Spectrum Condition, sensory or communication disorders, or a learning disability. The atmosphere in the auditorium will be relaxed to provide a more supportive environment - a bit like the quiet carriage on the train, but the opposite! Audience members will be free to come and go as they please throughout the performance and make noise if they want to.

CAPTIONED PERFORMANCE Captions give deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people access to live performance. The actors’ words appear on a display unit (or units), placed in the set or next to the stage, at the same time as they are spoken or sung. Speaker names, sound effects and offstage noises are also shown.
