Swan Lake

Swan Lake is a signature piece of MCB’s entire repertoire.

The orchestra, choreography, interpretation, beauty and outstanding virtuoso performances win consistently rave reviews and sell out attendance. Moscow City Ballet’s interpretation of the world’s most romantic ballet is magnificently brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s most well loved haunting score.

Nutcracker

Danced to Tchaikovsky’s rich score, played live by the Moscow City Ballet Orchestra, Artistic Director Smirnov-Govolanov’s version of Nutcracker has an innovative freshness that is performed with effortless style and impressive grace. Tchaikovsky’s big story ballets are the essence of Russian culture - composed, choreographed and premiered in Russia. Seeing performances by Moscow dancers never fails to add that magical ingredient of Russian soul.

THE MUSICAL PHENOMENON FRESH FROM THE WEST END

★★★★★

‘JAW-DROPPINGLY AMAZING’ Manchester Evening News Direct from the West End, the smash-hit musical Ghost comes to Stoke-on-Trent in January.

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.

written by ben elton Rod Stewart is quite simply one of the best-selling recording artists of all time in a career spanning five decades. Tonight’s The Night, the smash-hit West End musical comedy inspired by the songs of Rod is the all-singing, all-dancing feel-good show which went on to play sold-out theatres across the UK. Tonight’s The Night is back and now is your chance to rediscover the magic of timeless classic songs, from Maggie May to Baby Jane and Hot Legs to Sailing plus many more!

Set on the mean streets of Detroit and in the glamorous clubs of uptown LA, Tonight’s The Night tells the story of a shy young man, so tongue tied that he cannot find the courage to declare his love to the girl of his dreams. How different he is to his hero, that legendary rock n’ roll vagabond Rod Stewart - now there’s a guy who never had any trouble hitting on a girl! One night our hero strikes a deal with the Devil, trading his soul for Rod’s. It seems like a good idea at the time but this guy is about to find out the hard way that you can’t find true love using another man’s moves and that Devil or no Devil, there’s only one Rod Stewart!

Written by multi award-winning writer and comedian Ben Elton (We Will Rock You) this sensational musical comedy features spectacular staging, a world-class band and dazzling choreography.

Directed by Cjay Ranger, Choreographed by Denise Ranger. Photos of previous cast.
