‘A SUPERBLY GRIPPING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER’ DAILY TELEGRAPH One of the greatest thrillers of all time hits the UK stage starring the highly acclaimed stage and television actress Kara Tointon.

While Jack Manningham (Rupert Young) is on the town each evening his wife Bella (Kara Tointon) is home alone.

She can’t explain the disappearance of familiar objects, the mysterious footsteps overhead or the ghostly flickering of living room gaslight – is she losing her mind? Does the terror exist in her imagination or are dark secrets living in her home? The surprise arrival of a retired detective (Keith Allen) leads to a shocking discovery that will shake her respectable Victorian marriage to its core.

In the tradition of heavyweight thrillers from Hitchcock, Christie and Priestley, Gaslight is a genre-defining, sensationally suspenseful, all-round elegant masterpiece.

This new production of Gaslight is the definitive seatgripping drama not to be missed. A tense and hugely satisfying evening of great British theatre.

‘THE MUSICAL WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR. A SWEET-SOUL, SOLID-GOLD, FIVE STAR BLAST. SO GOOD I ALMOST WEPT’ THE SUNDAY TIMES

The Commitments is a fantastically feel good celebration of soul. Direct from a phenomenally successful, record breaking run in London’s West End, The Commitments is based on the BAFTA award-winning film classic. The show received universal critical acclaim following its London World Premiere and was quickly hailed as a smash hit musical sensation.

The Commitments is the story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young working class music fan, who shapes an unlikely bunch of amateur musicians and friends into an amazing live act, the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced. Placing a classified advert in a music paper, Jimmy auditions a number of wannabes before finalising the new line up who he names The Commitments.

The Commitments musical has been adapted from the novel by Booker prize winning author Roddy Doyle himself.

Inspired by the smash hit multi-million selling albums Dreamboats and Petticoats One, Two, Three, Four and Five, 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 five albums in the Dreamboats and Petticoats series sent the message loud and clear. With over two 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.

Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, the team behind Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, and The New Statesman.

Dreamboats and Petticoats – the songs will live forever.

Featuring classic tracks from: Roy Orbison, The Shadows, Eddie Cochrane, Billy Fury and many more.

Georges and the dazzling drag artiste Albin, star of La Cage Aux Folles, live an idyllic existence in the heart of St Tropez. But behind the curtains of this sparkling extravaganza, all may be about to change. Georges’ son Jean-Michel announces his engagement to the daughter of a notorious right-wing politician determined to close down the local colourful nightlife. Drama and hilarity ensue when a meeting of the parents forces them to cover up their vibrant lifestyle. Will Albin be able to play the role of his life to ensure that Jean-Michel can marry his love?

John Partridge’s extensive theatre credits boast the West End productions of A Chorus Line at the London Palladium, Cats, Starlight Express and Chicago, but perhaps he is best known for playing the loveable Christian in BBC’s EastEnders and as a judge on TV’s Over The Rainbow. Adrian Zmed’s Broadway credits include Blood Brothers, Grease and Falsettos and on television he is best loved as Officer Vince Romano in the hit TV show T. J. Hooker and on the big screen as Johnny in Grease 2. Joining them is West End Icon, Marti Webb.
