THE LEGENDARY WEST END AND BROADWAY MUSICAL COMES TO EDINBURGH!

Page 5: Edinburgh Playhouse Brochure Autumn/Winter 2010

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!

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT... Audiences all around the world have been roaring with

laughter since Monty Python’s Spamalot, by Eric Idle and

(or possibly a brace) of beautiful show girls, witch burnings

not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people.

The show features the hilarious songs He Is Not Dead Yet,

Knights Of The Round Table, Find Your Grail and of

course the Nation’s Favourite Comedy Song

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.

Much loved comedian, author and pole dancer Marcus

Brigstoke resplendent as King Arthur with Amy Nuttall,

star of Emmerdale and more recently Hotel Babylon as the

Lady of the Lake, and Todd Carty aka Tucker, expert

ice-skater and EastEnders stalwart as Patsy.

Tommy Steele, one of the most successful British entertainers

of all time, comes to The Edinburgh Playhouse this winter in the

title role of the ‘stunningly spectacular’ London Palladium

production of Scrooge.

A legend in his own right, Tommy’s career includes over twenty

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

into the record books as the star to have headlined the most

performances at London’s most famous theatre.

Scrooge is a heart-warming family story with stunning sets

and costumes, specially created illusions by magician Paul

Kieve (acclaimed for the magic effects in the Harry Potter

films) and a fantastic musical score by Leslie Bricusse which

features the Oscar nominated hit Thank You Very Much.

Having already stretched the ‘Trilogy’ to a hilarious four parts,

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

preparations for Christmas fall apart at the seams.

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.

Romeo & Juliet Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy is brought to life in this brand

new production. Lavish sets and costumes evoke Renaissance

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.
