Next production

The Witches of Eastwick, 29th October to 1st November, 7:30
A musical comedy based on the motion picture starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer. It was first produced on the West End Stage in July 2000. Nominated for 5 Olivier Awards in 2001. In the small New England town of Eastwick, Rhode Island, live three unhappy divorcees (our three not so wicked witches). One stormy night of a heady brew of brownies and weak martinis, they wish for their perfect man. In no time at all, the town's legendary Lenox House is bought by a stranger from New York City - one Darryl Van Horne. Sweeping into town atop a wave of gossip, the charismatic newcomer makes a sardonic case for small-town living.

Last production

Kiss Me Kate, 22nd to 26th April 2008
Cole Porter's most successful musical, the original production of Kiss Me, Kate opened on Broadway at the New Century Theatre on December 30, 1948 and ran for 1,077 performances. It garnered five Tony Awards in 1949, the same number the revival claimed in 2000. Combine Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew with Porter's music and lyrics to get Kiss Me, Kate, an instant success with every cast and audience. This is a play-within-a-play where each cast member's on-stage life is complicated by what is happening offstage. Songs: Brush Up Your Shakespeare, Wunderbar, Always True To You In My Fashion, Why Can't You Behave, Too Darned Hot, Another Op'nin Another Show.
