Young lovers are caught between prejudice and warring street gangs in this seminal retelling of Romeo and Juliet. From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents’ book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City, as two young idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the “American” Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.

On the Surface, We Smile

Dates: Tuesday 6th November and Wednesday 7th November 2018 Time: 7.30pm Ticket price: £13.00 Adult*, £11.00 OAP* and £10.00 NUS* Group Rates Available

Written by Joshua A Williams Directed by Joshua Williams & Lee Samuels Choreography by Hannah Castledine On the Surface, We Smile is about the perception of people around us and the lengths we will go, to keep the truth hidden. Jackson and Lisa, two perfectly normal best friends, navigating life and relationships, inspire the stories told by the other characters in the show. An honest look into the lives of everyone involved, threatens to destroy the quiet indifference of life and forces the audience to ask; What are we really hiding behind a smile?

Good Time Charlie’s Back!!

Dates: Wednesday 26th September 2018 Time: 7.30pm Ticket price: £23.50 Adult*, £21.00 Concessions*

My fellow Vaudevillians, Following the extraordinary success of the Cradle To Grave tour I was asked to reconsider my initial statement that I would never undertake such a venture again. The applause of the public can be a seductive narcotic and weaker souls than I would be tempted to repeat the thrills harvested during that ‘uproarious whirligig of joy’ simply to bolster their already outsized egos. After much reflection I have decided that I cannot allow such rampant narcissism to cloud my judgment. I said ‘one farewell’ tour’ and I meant ‘one farewell tour’. There will be no more. Therefore I am pleased to announce that, to mark this momentous decision, I will be embarking on a nationwide, high-principled, peppy series of one-nightstands calling at dozens of theatres around the country starting in May 2018.

He is also well known for his appearances on The News Quiz and I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue.

tour de ned

Time: 7.30pm Ticket price: £23.50 Adult*

ITV’s cycling commentator Ned Boulting returns with an allnew production, built with wobbly precision on the edifice of the greatest bike race on earth. From the cobbles of Roubaix, over Alpe d’Huez towards the grand finale in Paris, Tour de Ned will recreate the gut-wrenching, edge of the seat drama of the race on a stage near you. Boulting will relive memories of the best moments from the summer seen from the sometimes wonky perspective of the man who is paid to watch the telly and shout out names as riders climb, crash, stop for a poo and attack each other. Stage by stage, rest day by rest day, the Tour de France will be re-animated before your very eyes, drug busts and all. Tour de Ned will also lift the curtain, with exclusive video footage of life on the road with the much-loved ITV Tour de France team, inviting you inside David Millar’s Maserati, alongside Gary Imlach’s polo shirts as he steams them, joining Chris Boardman, as he settles down for his midafternoon nap. Accompany the commentary team from motorway service station to the top of the Pyrenees, via two-star hotels in industrial estates and private jets (just kidding), Tour de Ned will bring to life the thousands of kilometers travelled as they unfold alongside the grandest of Grand Tours. So, prepare for an autumn evening of summer heat as the Tour de France becomes the Tour de Ned for one night only, on a stage near you.
