With The Leadmill still under threat of eviction from their landlord, Def Leppard pitched the show as a way of showing solidarity with their plight, and to highlight the venue’s cultural significance to the city. Proceeds from the show will also go towards the Music Venue Trust, a charity that champions and protects grassroots music venues across the UK.
“We’re absolutely delighted to be welcoming a band as legendary as Def Leppard onto our stage. The fact that a local act that has gone on to play stadiums across the world is willing to come back home and support us in a time of need (as well as thousands of other integral grassroots venues across the UK) speaks volumes of their character. This will be the first time they’ve played The Leadmill, so it’s wonderful to be adding another chapter to Sheffield’s musical history.” Ben Hartley – Live Promoter

It’s creepy and it’s kooky, mysterious and spooky... it’s High Green’s upcoming musical, ‘The Addams Family’.
Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. Jonney Glaves will be playing the part of Gomez. Jonney joined the group back in 2018 and usually plays our pantomime
Dame. Jonney says “I love playing Gomez. Being a father myself, the role of Gomez means a lot to me. I love his accent and I especially enjoy rolling my R’s when singing my songs. I am particularly looking forward to preforming the Tango, it’s out of my comfort zone but I enjoy a challenge.”
If you’ve been to a High Green show before you will recognise some of our familiar faces in leading roles. We also have some fabulous new members, such as Carpenter Lockwood who is playing Morticia Addams.
The show takes place at the EPPiC Theatre, Well Lane, Ecclesfield from the 13th to the 17th of June 2023. Tickets are on sale now from the Box Office 0114 4388698, email info@ hgmtg.co.uk or direct via www. ticketsource.co.uk/HGMTG
