Millennium Forum - May - August 2014

Page 1



Welcome to our Spring/Summer Season for 2014. We have lots on offer to entice you into the theatre during these light evenings.

We begin the season with something for our younger audiences as Peppa Pig and her friends return with a brand new show, PEPPA PIG’S BIG SPLASH. June sees a new stage adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monk’s WHAT THE LADYBIRD HEARD, whilst the MILKSHAKE crew arrives in August with a new musical spectacular that promises lots of fun for all the family. We welcome a number of events in May as part of the City of Derry Jazz Festival; KATE RUSBY makes her debut to our stage and THE FRANKIE VALLI STORY brings a Jersey Boys style show, featuring three decades of hit songs. Music fans will also be delighted with the arrival of the former Madness frontman, SUGGS and the hugely popular group, THE HIGH KINGS, both in May.

Our big West End show this season is the Rod Stewart musical, TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT. Written by Ben Elton and starring Jade Ewen from the hit pop group, The Sugababes, this smash hit show bursts onto our stage for a week-long run in May. May is shaping up to be a memorable month this season as we also welcome a brand new dance extravaganza, TITANIC DANCE and the Tony Awardwinning musical, AVENUE Q , to our stage.

Our annual youth arts festival, INTERACT, returns this summer, this time in a brand new format. Now in its sixth year, our dedicated Youth Forum presents INTERACT’S GREATEST HITS, bringing the best the festival has to offer for 12-21 year-olds. Our young people are well catered for again this season with the return of the Youth Musical in August and their production of the hit musical, LES MISÉRABLES.

I hope you enjoy our new programme of events.

David McLaughlin

The Millennium Forum once again brings us a unique mix of events for the Spring and Summer months. With world class acts such as the Rod Stewart musical, TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT, the hilarious comedy, Avenue Q or the spectacular new dance show, TITANIC DANCE, the new season at the North West’s leading entertainments venue is certainly shaping up to be a memorable one.

The Millennium Forum’s commitment to providing high quality entertainment for all is re�lected once again in a diverse programme of events. From comedy with 50 SHADES OF RED, WHITE & BLUE to music by KATE RUSBY and the FRANKIE VALLI STORY, children’s events with Peppa Pig or ballet with THE LITTLE MERMAID, the May-August brochure has something for everyone to enjoy. The return of the hugely popular InterAct Youth Arts Festival and the Millennium Forum’s Youth Musical production of LES MISÉRABLES, showcase an innovative approach to nurturing young local talent. These projects have given a much needed platform for budding performers to progress towards national recognition. Danske Bank is delighted play its part in supporting those opportunities through partnership with the Millennium Forum. Our colleagues at the Millennium Forum have created a great programme and we look forward to seeing you there.
