THE LEGENDARY WEST END AND BROADWAY MUSICAL COMES TO EDINBURGH!
2
Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood directs an amazing
cast in an extraordinary new staging of the classic musical CHESS.
A superb cast of West End stars including James Fox (Fame
Academy, Jesus Christ Superstar), Shona White (Wicked), Daniel
Koek (West Side Story), Poppy Tierney (Mary Poppins, Aspects of
Love, The Witches of Eastwick), James Graeme (The Phantom of the
Opera) and David Erik (Dirty Dancing, The Phantom of the Opera)
lead a cast of 30 actors and musicians in this unmissable production.
Written by Tim Rice and ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus and Benny
Andersson, CHESS has one of the greatest musical theatre scores
of all time including One Night In Bangkok, Pity The Child, Anthem,
You And I and, of course, I Know Him So Well.
Two of the world’s greatest chess masters battle it out at the world
chess championships but their greatest contest is for the love of one
woman. Amidst political intrigue and international conspiracies, the
American and the Russian fight to win the heart of Florence Vassy in
a romantic triangle that mirrors the heightened passions of the Cold
War all set to an explosive score by the composers of Mamma Mia
and the lyricist of Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita.
Make your move now and book for the must-see musical
event of the year!

hit singles, Hollywood movies such as The Happiest Millionaire,
and countless award winning stage musicals such as Half a
Sixpence, Hans Andersen and Singin’ in the Rain. His performances
in Scrooge at the world-famous London Palladium sent him

performances at London’s most famous theatre.
Scrooge is a heart-warming family story with stunning sets

get ready because here comes Brendan O’Carroll with Part Five.
With Christmas just weeks away in the Brown house, Mrs Brown
is excited because her son, whom she has not seen in five years,
has promised to pay a Christmas visit home. However Cathy
returns from her trip to America with unwelcome news.
But who will tell Mammy?
Yes it’s the usual mayhem we all expect from the most
dysfunctional Irish clan. You will laugh and cry as the Brown’s

THE RUSSIAN STATE BALLET OF SIBERIA
Don QuixoteThis enchanting story of an eccentric, yet noble old gentlemen
Don Quixote. Love, duels and spectacular choreography combine
with a dash of Spanish passion in one of the most beautiful and
moving of all ballets.

Verona with all its bitter family feuds, passionate encounters
and tragic twists of fate.
Sleeping BeautyThe classic story of love and innocence, mystery and magic.
Stunning choreography, sumptuous costumes and wonderful sets
form the fantasy world in which the Lilac Fairy struggles against
the evil Carabosse.
Swan LakeThe greatest romantic ballet of all! From the opulence and
splendour of the magnificent court room to the exhilarating lake
scenes where swans play in perfect formation, Tchaikovsky’s
beautiful music creates a truly unforgettable experience.
