TUE 19TH – SAT 30TH APRIL Six the Musical

n Nominated for 5 Olivier Awards including Best New Musical, the sell-out international smash hit SIX is the phenomenon everyone is losing their head over!

From Tudor queens to pop princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII finally take to the mic to tell their tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power. These Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red.

MON 11TH – SAT 16TH APRIL Everybody’s Talking About Jamie

n The smash-hit musical returns home to Sheffield, featuring West End star Layton Williams and EastEnders’ much-loved Shane Richie as Hugo/ Loco Chanelle both reprising their roles from the critically acclaimed West End production.

Funny, fabulous and feelgood, this is the musical sensation for all the family and not to be missed! Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield. Jamie doesn’t quite fit in. Jamie is terrified about the future. Jamie is going to be a sensation.

Supported by his brilliant loving mum and surrounded by his friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight. With an original score of catchy pop tunes by lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, Dan Gillespie Sells and writer Tom MacRae (Doctor Who), this brandnew musical will have everybody talking about Jamie for years to come.
