Richmond Theatre patron Jerry Hall will be bringing a touch of glamour to this year’s pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as she takes on the role of the Wicked Queen. Hall is best known for her incredible modelling career spanning five decades, and has recently appeared on our screens in the 2012 series of Strictly Come Dancing. As an actress her work has included Tim Burton’s Hollywood blockbuster Batman, and stage appearances in The Graduate, Love Letters and Cole Porter’s High Society.

Joining Hall for our fabulous, fun-filled family show this Christmas will be CBeebies presenter Chris Jarvis (Show Me, Show Me) in the role of Muddles and musical theatre star Aimie Atkinson (Dirty Dancing, Never Forget) starring as Snow White. Plus the seven loveable dwarfs led by Phil Holden as Prof.

Join us for an adventure into an enchanted fairytale forest and meet all your favourite characters along the way. Will the Wicked Queen banish Snow White once and for all, or will the handsome Prince thwart her plans with some help from the dwarfs? Who is the fairest in the land and will good triumph over evil? There’s only one way to find out – book your tickets now to this magical family pantomime. Following last year’s record-breaking production of Peter Pan, you’re guaranteed another year of stunning sets, glittering costumes and side-splitting comedy.

Moscow City Ballet is currently at its outstanding artistic best – winning new invitations to perform internationally.

Giselle

Giselle is one of the few 19th century Romantic ballets to survive intact.

Carefree village girl Giselle goes mad and dies of a broken heart when her peasant lover Albrecht is unmasked as a nobleman who is betrothed to another. When Albrecht visits her grave he finds the spirits of other maidens who died before their wedding day (the Wilis) dancing among the graves in the moonlight. Any man who sees the Wilis ritual is doomed to dance until he dies from exhaustion, but Giselle’s spirit and everlasting love for Albrecht saves him from death.

Swan Lake is a signature piece of the company’s entire repertoire. The orchestra, choreography, interpretation, beauty and outstanding virtuoso performances win repeatedly rave reviews.

Tchaikovsky’s ‘big story ballets’ are the essence of Russian culture composed, choreographed and premiered in Russia. Seeing performances by the Moscow City Ballet dancers never fails to add that magical ingredient of Russian soul.

AYUB khan din directed by

sam yates

Direct from the West End, part of the critically acclaimed Trafalgar Transformed Season, one of the best British COMEDIES comes to richmond Theatre January 2015.

Starring stage and screen icon Jane Horrocks (Sunshine on Leith, The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice and Absolutely Fabulous) as Ella, award-winning playwright and actor Ayub Khan Din as George and a host of the finest British acting talent as the remainder of the Khan family. This long awaited revival of a modern comedy classic promises to be unmissable.

Pakistani chip-shop owner George Khan - ‘Genghis’ to his kids is determined to give his children a strict Muslim upbringing against the unforgiving backdrop of 1970s Salford. Household tension reaches breaking point as their long-suffering English mother, Ella, gets caught in the cross fire - her loyalties divided between her marriage and the free will of her children.

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.

Below the ocean there is no death or pain or separation.

Above the water is the modern world beset with war, poverty and need.

On her sixteenth birthday, a mermaid rises up to the surface, leaving her childhood behind forever when she falls in love with a mortal prince. She knows that she can no longer live at the bottom of the ocean, but must she destroy herself in order to be loved?

Shared Experience is renowned for its thrilling adaptions of literary classics. Plundering Hans Christian Andersen’s haunting tale for its dark, erotic, mythic power, writer and director Polly Teale (Brontë, Jane Eyre, After Mrs Rochester) transports the story to a contemporary setting in this spell-binding new production.

Using a chorus of local young women to create an unearthly musical landscape Shared Experience conjures the magical world of Mermaids.

★★★★ This award winning and exquisitely funny new take on the much-loved classic was a huge critical and popular hit during its London run and proved just as successful in Australia when it landed in Cate Blanchett’s Sydney Theatre. A must-see for fans of all things musical, witty and imaginative.

Having triumphed in Australia, Sasha’s Pirates of Penzance makes a welcome voyage home to the UK this spring 2015. The tale of a child apprenticed to a band of tenderhearted, orphaned pirates was an immediate triumph for Gilbert and Sullivan and remains their most popular and successful work.

‘brilliant’ sunday mirror

WRITTEN BY REGINALD ROSE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER HAYDON 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.

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.

Star casting to be announced.

BalletBoyz are back with a brand new show for 2015.

Adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel Based on the novel by Harper Lee

Under the direction of former Royal Ballet dancers Michael Nunn OBE and William Trevitt OBE, theTALENT has become one of the hottest dance tickets around boasting rave reviews and sell out performances around the world.

Set in the Deep South, Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel sees racial injustice envelop a small-town community. Through courage and compassion, lawyer Atticus Finch seeks the truth, and his feisty daughter, Scout - a young girl on the cusp of adulthood - brings new hope to a neighbourhood in turmoil.

This show features two new commissions from leading British choreographers, The Murmuring by Alexander Whitley and Mesmerics by Christopher Wheeldon.

Performed by the incredible all male cast of 10 dancers, theTALENT promises an evening of style, excitement and muscular grace.

DIRECTOR JOE HARMSTON DESIGNER SIMON SCULLION COSTUME DESIGNER ROBERTO SURACE LIGHTING DESIGNER DOUG KUHRT

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Agatha Christie Theatre Company, And Then There Were None returns to the stage to follow in the footsteps of the company’s hugely successful Witness for the Prosecution and Black Coffee.

Starring BAFTA nominated stage and screen star Paul Nicholas, Colin Buchanan from Dalziel and Pascoe, Susan Penhaligon who starred in Bouquet of Barbed Wire and A Fine Romance, TV favourite Mark Curry.

A group of 10 strangers are lured to a remote island off the coast of Devon. Upon arrival it is discovered that their host, an eccentric millionaire, is missing. Stranded on the island by a torrential storm and haunted by an ancient nursery rhyme, one by one the guests begin to die. With only the fallen believed to be innocent who amongst them is the killer?

Based on the best selling mystery novel of all time, Agatha Christie’s own stage adaptation of this dark and captivating tale will thrill and enthral, as murder unfolds.
