WELCOME I am delighted to introduce our Autumn season featured in this brochure. We have an incredibly busy few months coming up at the New Theatre, as well as a number of shows already on sale for 2013. I’m thrilled to see Michael McIntyre back at the New Theatre with some warm-up shows prior to his arena tour later this year, followed by further fantastic stand-up shows from Frankie Boyle, Jack Dee, Alan Davies, Mark Watson, Al Murray, Kevin Bridges, Jethro, Jason Byrne, Greg Davies and Ross Noble, and next year Milton Jones, Jimmy Carr and Micky Flanagan. Musical fans are spoilt for choice, with Chicago, Daddy Cool, Beauty & The Beast, 9 to 5, our Christmas show Starlight Express and Top of the Pops Live. As always, we are lucky enough to be able to welcome some of the top music acts to the city – highlights include Ultravox, Level 42, Newton Faulkner, Deacon Blue, The Sensational 60s Experience, Jools Holland, Rufus Wainwright, Joan Armatrading and Peter Andre.
If all of those weren’t enough, we also have Sandi Toksvig launching her new novel, a return visit from Fascinating Aida who sold-out back in 2011, the annual visit by Welsh National Opera, Stomp and the welcome return of English National Ballet.

9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL is a hilarious new musical comedy, based on the hit movie and centres on three office workers who turn the tables on their sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot of a boss. They conspire to take control of the company and learn there’s nothing they can’t do - even in a man’s world.

Now with their biggest and most talented cast of dancers, singers, and musicians, Essence of Ireland combines breathtaking dance routines with the very best of Irish music, a touch of Irish craic, all cleverly woven into a heart-warming tale. Described by the Irish World as ‘ENTIRELY UNIQUE AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED’. A breathtaking show like no other.
Referred to by Elton John as ‘the greatest songwriter on the planet’ and praised by the New York Times for his ‘genuine originality’ Grammy nominee Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation. From a family of performers, Rufus has acheived his success by carving out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theatre, dance and film. His new album Out of the Game is out now.
Following a massive arena tour in 2010, selling over 150,000 concert tickets in the process, Peter Andre is back for a UK tour. Over the past few years Peter has released two studio albums, headlined two sold out tours and starred in a hit television series. PRS also awarded him the title of ‘Hardest Working Man in Pop’.
Best-known as the sardonic Head of Sixth Form, Mr Gilbert, in the BAFTA award-winning The Inbetweeners, the critically acclaimed Greg Davies follows his sell-out, Foster’s comedy award nominated show with a brand new stand-up tour, The Back of My Mum’s Head.
