Five of Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories come together into a wondrous tale of personal courage, individuality and friendship. Set to an eclectic, upbeat score, Kipling’s famous tales are woven with wit and imagination into a song-filled journey through the jungle.
Join us on this journey with the young, effervescent and inquisitive Elephant’s Child and the sassy, sarcastic and flightless Kolokolo Bird as they set out to save their friends and family from the wicked Pau Amma who is threatening their homeland.
On our journey through this magical tale, we’ll meet a wide array of fun loving characters, from a Kangaroo who is shocked to see the rate at which his legs have grown, to a Parsee Man who lives seemingly alone with his seemingly inanimate stove…
Let the Eldest Magician take you on this wondrous tale through lush jungles, dusty savannahs and the ever looming great, grey and greasy Limpopo River in Just So this March.

SPAMALOT retells the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail.
The 2005 Broadway production was nominated for fourteen Tony Awards of which it won three including Best Musical and was followed by two successful West End runs.
Inspired by the classic comedy film, Monty Python and the holy Grail, SPAMALOT features shenanigans including a chorus line of dancing divas, legless knights, men in tights, killer rabbits and a flatulent Frenchman.
Throughout the show Arthur, travelling with his servant Patsy, recruits several knights to accompany him on his quest including Sir Bedevere, Sir Robin, Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad. Besides the rabbits and farting Frenchman, they meet such characters as the Lady of the Lake, Prince Herbert, Tim the Enchanter, Not Dead Fred, the Black Knight and the Knights who say Ni.
After arriving in Las Vegas-inspired Camelot, the knights are contacted by the voice of God who wants them to search for the Holy Grail., After some silly encounters and surprising discoveries, Arthur and the knights end up finding the Grail in an unexpected place.

Sister Act is a joyous show that uses music to bring different communities, and lifestyles, together.
Deloris Van Cartier is an aspiring singer in Philadelphia, where she is auditioning to perform at her gangster boyfriend’s nightclub. Deloris believes that Curtis is going to introduce her to a big producer, but is upset when he tells her she is not ready. Hurt and rejected, Deloris decides to break up with him, but when she goes to find him she accidentally sees him kill one of his cronies. Deloris runs to the police, who place her in hiding at a convent until Curtis is brought to trial.
At first, Deloris feels as though it will be the worst thing in the world, chafing against the constraints of convent life and an immovable Reverend Mother, but once she is introduced to the struggling choir at the convent, everything changes. She finds that many of the nuns at the convent are not that different from her, and that they are quite fun to be around. They help give her a bigger purpose in her life, showing her a genuine love and affection that was missing prior to her arrival at the convent.

Epic and yet intimate, Titanic: The Musical captures the triumph and tragedy of the hopeful passengers on the ill-fated Ship of Dreams
In the final hours of 14 April 1912 the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and sank. As “the unsinkable ship” went down, 1517 men, women and children lost their lives.
Based on real people, Titanic: The Musical is a stunning and heart-breaking production focusing on the dreams and aspirations of the passengers, who boarded to take the trip of their lives, unaware that for many it would be their last journey.
The Third Class immigrants dream of a better life in America, the Second Class imagine they too can join the lifestyles of the rich and famous, while the millionaire Barons of the First Class anticipate legacies lasting forever.
The original Broadway production won five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.

An intimate look at the Father of the Modern Musical, featuring new arrangements of his most beloved work.
Hailed as a “revelatory revue full of wonderful moments” and a “funny, affectionate and revealing tribute to musical theatre’s greatest living composer and lyricist,” Sondheim on Sondheim is an intimate portrait of the famed songwriter in his own words… and music. Through the use of exclusive interview footage, audiences get an inside look at the personal life and artistic process of famed composer, Stephen Sondheim.
His story. His inspiration. His genius. The tapestry of creativity that characterises Stephen Sondheim remained largely undiscussed, especially by the man himself, until the creation of Sondheim on Sondheim. Ranging from the beloved to the obscure, the carefully selected two-dozen songs hang from a framework of in-depth video interviews, delving into Sondheim’s personal life and artistic process.
Sondheim on Sondheim plays at the Bridewell Theatre from 4-8 July 2023.
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Drawing on her strength she never knew she had, Rita O’Grady, a factory worker, wife and mother, leads her friends into battle against the might of the Ford Motor Company in the corruption of the union supposed to protect them.

Funny, touching and timeless, Made in Dagenham shows how ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they stand together
