THE SMASH HIT BROADWAY MUSICAL COMEDY Based on Mel Brooks’ much loved Academy Award winning movie, The Producers is a hilarious musical comedy that has taken Broadway and the West End by storm, winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards and 3 Olivier Awards.

Impoverished by a string of flops, New York producer Max Bialystock recruits timid accountant Leo Bloom to help him pull off Broadway’s greatest scam.

Together they aim to produce the worst show ever and run away to Rio with millions, but they soon learn that showbusiness can always find a way to kick you in the teeth.

From the producer of sell-out successes Midnight Tango and Dance ’Til Dawn, and the director of Top Hat, The Producers is filled with fabulous costumes, glamorous dancing girls, hysterical show tunes including the all-time classic Springtime For Hitler - and an incredible live band.

Starring award-winning comedian Jason Manford, legendary funny man Ross Noble and star of The Rocky Horror Show David Bedella, The Producers is the biggest, funniest Broadway musical of all time.

GET ALL SHOOK UP WITH THE HITS OF ELVIS PRESLEY

From the producers of Hairspray, Midnight Tango, West Side Story and The Rocky Horror Show comes a hilarious, feel-good musical featuring Elvis Presley’s greatest hits.

In a small town in 1950’s America, a guitar-playing, hip-swivelling stranger rides his motorbike into town.

Is he The Devil In Disguise or a Hound Dog in his Blue Suede Shoes? The townsfolk are about to be All Shook Up and could be headed for Heartbreak Hotel, but for Natalie, the love-struck, tomboy mechanic, it really is Now or Never.

Packed with 25 of the best-loved songs by The King himself, Love Me Tender, by the writer of the award-winning West End and Broadway smash hit Memphis, is a funny and moving tale of hope, second chances and the healing qualities of Rock ’n’ Roll.

One of the biggest new West End musicals, already seen by over half a million people, comes straight to Oxford from The Savoy Theatre, London.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike and this major new production is a rare chance to return to ‘AN ALL BUT LOST ERA OF MUSICAL COMEDY’ (THE GUARDIAN) and relive the golden age of the classic musical.

Based on the classic comedy film starring Sir Michael Caine and Steve Martin, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will transport you to the French Riviera and its decadent underworld, as two seasoned swindlers attempt to hoodwink a millionaire heiress. As the pair compete in the true art of the con, they discover there is only room for one of them.

Multi award-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray, Legally Blonde, Kinky Boots) leads one of the finest creative teams ever assembled including the comedy duo who gave us TV’s Mad About You (Jeffrey Lane) and West End hit musical The Full Monty (David Yazbek).

Sophisticated and suave with a good dash of mischief, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is set to be the finest night out of 2015 - secure your tickets today.

Sweeney Todd fills a void with a bloody and blind quest for vengeance. Those who enter his shop get more than a close shave. The unlucky ones ending up in Mrs Lovett’s rather unsavoury pies, proving you are what you eat.

Sondheim’s masterpiece is by turns hugely funny, terrifying and deeply sad. It works on a number of different levels, is complex but always engaging. James Brining’s thrilling production is set in the late 1970s/early 1980s. It emphasises Sondheim’s message that it’s not just Sweeney who is insane. Through its corruption and inequality, society is totally mad. See Sweeney Todd and you’ll find that it buries itself in your consciousness and refuses to leave.

WNO’s Autumn Season also includes I puritani and Orlando.
