AWARD-WINNING FAIRYTALE MUSICALTHE PERFECT CHRISTMAS TREAT FOR ALLTHE FAMILY
DIRECTED BY ROBERT READMANMUSICAL DIRECTOR ADAM LAIRD
Be careful what you wish for!
Sondheim and Lapine’s fabulous fractured fairytale is the perfect
family treat this Christmas. Pick Me Up Theatre are delighted to
perform this multi award-winning musical ahead of the 2015
Disney film starring Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp.
A Baker and his Wife venture into the woods on a quest to reverse
a curse laid on them by the Witch next door. Along the way they
encounter an ambivalent Cinderella, a greedy Little Red Riding
Hood, a tower bound Rapunzel with hair to die for, a too-trusting
Jack of Beanstalk fame, a couple of not-so-princely Princes, three
Little Pigs, two ravenous Wolves and the one and only Milky White
the cow, but will they all live ‘happily ever after’?
Based on Grimm’s fairytales, Into The Woods features some of
Stephen Sondheim’s most famous songs including Agony, Giants In
The Sky and Children Will Listen. Don’t miss this hilarious musical
from the company that brought you Ghost and Peter Pan.

it takes him on a journey that upturns his world…
Based on the award-winning novel by Mark Haddon, adapted by
Simon Stephens and directed by Marianne Elliott, The Curious
Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a thrilling new
stage play from the National Theatre.

‘A RIP-ROARINGCALAMITY JANE’NEWBURY WEEKLY NEWS
A BRAND NEW PRODUCTION OF THE CLASSIC MUSICAL
Following numerous highly acclaimed productions that include Sweeney
Todd and Sunset Boulevard, The Watermill Theatre returns with a new
production of the classic musical Calamity Jane. Starring Jodie Prenger
(Oliver!, Spamalot and One Man, Two Guvnors) alongside Tom Lister (The
Water Babies, Emmerdale) and a cast of multi talented actor musicians,
this brand new production gets to the heart and soul of the musical.
Calamity Jane can outrun and outshoot any man in Deadwood.
Hard, boastful and desperate to impress, she travels to Chicago on
the Deadwood Stage to recruit a star, Adelaid Adams. But things
don’t go too smoothly for Calamity, as everyone in town favours the
new girl and she struggles to keep her jealousy and pride in check.
It takes her long standing enemy Wild Bill Hickok to make her
see sense, and realise her Secret Love.
With an Oscar nominated score that includes The Black Hills of Dakota,
The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away), Just Blew in from the Windy City
and the award winning song Secret Love, don’t miss this new production
which blows into York for one week only.

gallops back out on tour to bring the West End
production to theatres across the land (to the sound
of banging coconut shells). Lovingly ripped off from the
classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail,
Spamalot is a kind-of-new musical with a book by Eric Idle
and an entirely new score for the new production (well,
almost), created by Eric Idle and John du Prez.
The latest tour, which is directed by
Christopher Luscombe, follows hot on the heels of
the can’t–believe-how-successful-it-was Monty Python
Reunion at The O2 and Eric Idle’s acclaimed performance of
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life at the 2012 Olympic
Closing Ceremony - the world sang along, and Spamalot
audiences get the opportunity to do so too!
During the run, there have been 21 onstage moustache
incidents, three suspected cases of swine flu (French pigs!),
three outbreaks of nits and 92 pairs of coconuts.

THE WEST END’S FAVOURITECOMESTOYORK!
Loveable teen-dreamer Tracy Turnblad is a big girl with big
hair and an even bigger heart who becomes the unexpected new
star of local TV dance programme, The Corny Collins Show,
much to the frustration of the show’s villainous
producer, Velma Von Tussle.
In a tale of teenage tantrums, triumphs and trials, the
backdrop for Hairspray is 1960s Baltimore, America, where
black is black and white is white and ‘pleasantly plump’ girls
certainly don’t dance on TV. Never shy of standing up for
what she believes in, Tracy launches a riotous campaign
to integrate The Corny Collins Show, making many
enemies and friends along the way.
With songs such as You Can’t Stop The Beat, Good Morning
Baltimore and Welcome to the Sixties; audiences are
sure to be mash-potato-ing all the way home.

DIRECT FROM ITS RECORD BREAKINGWEST END RUN
WRITTEN BY REGINALD ROSEDIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER HAYDON
Following its record breaking West End run, this powerful new
production of Reginald Rose’s gripping courtroom thriller Twelve
Angry Men has been hailed as the ‘classiest, most intelligent drama
in the West End’. It brings to the stage the taut brilliance of the 1957
threetime Academy Award nominated film which starred Henry Fonda,
and is considered to be one of the great ‘must-see’ movies of all time.
A jury has murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they
decide the fate of a young delinquent accused of killing his father.
But what appears to be an open and shut case soon becomes a huge
dilemma as prejudices and preconceived ideas about the accused,
the trial and each other turn the tables every which way, until the
nail-biting climax.
Star casting to be announced.

A MAGICAL, MUSICALDELIGHT
Tall Stories’ magical musical stage adaptation
of Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson &
Axel Scheffler flies into town direct from
a smashing West End season!
How the cat purred and how the witch grinned,
As they sat on their broomstick and flew
through the wind
The witch and her cat are flying happily along on
their broomstick when a stormy wind blows the
witch’s hat, bow and wand away into the night.
A helpful dog, bird and frog find the witch’s lost
things and all hop on the broom for a ride. But
this broomstick’s not meant for five and –
CRACK! - it snaps in two! When a hungry dragon
appears, who will save the poor witch?
And will there ever be room on the broom for
everyone? Songs, laughs and scary fun for
children aged 3 and up (and their grown-ups).

‘A GUARANTEED CROWD-PLEASER’
Three programmes of exhilarating ballet in one evening,
featuring works by British greats Sir Frederick Ashton and
Sir Kenneth MacMillan, and an exciting new work by
Alexander Whitley.
Ashton’s Les Rendezvous is flirtatious and lighter than air,
an irresistibly charming showcase of pure dance technique.
Kin. by Alexander Whitley, is an athletic, abstract piece danced to
a pulsing, hypnotic score by Phil Kline. And in Elite Syncopations,
a dance hall bursts to colourful life with jazz syncopation and a whirl
of waltzes and cakewalks. One of MacMillan’s best-loved creations,
Elite Syncopations is flashy and laugh-out-loud funny. Birmingham
Royal Ballet’s live orchestra accompanies all three ballets.

RECENTLY VOTED THE NATION’S FAVOURITE PLAY
Called ‘one of the finest plays Alan Bennett has ever written’ by
The Daily Telegraph, The History Boys opened at the National Theatre
in 2004 to rave reviews and a sell out run and went on became one
of their biggest ever hits, winning over 30 major awards including the
Olivier and Tony Awards for Best New Play. In a recent national survey
this comic masterpiece was voted the nation’s favourite play.
Set in the 1980s, The History Boys is the story of a group of bright,
funny and unruly sixth formers in pursuit of sex, sport and a place at
university. Their maverick English teacher is at odds with the young
and shrewd supply teacher, whilst their headmaster is obsessed with
results and league tables. Staff room rivalry and the anarchy of
adolescence overflow, provoking insistent questions about history
and how you teach it. Their A Levels may be over, but their true
education is only just beginning.
This brand new production is an hilariously funny and exceptionally
moving play about the true purpose of education.
Alan Bennett’s numerous plays include Enjoy, The Madness of
George III, Single Spies, Talking Heads and The Lady in the Van.

‘THE BRILLIANCE OFTHIS MASTER MAGICIANIS NO ILLUSION’THE TIMES
The multi-award winning acknowledged master of psychological
illusion is back on tour in 2015 with a brand new one-man show,
Derren Brown: Miracle. Having confessed that performing live
on stage gives him the greatest pleasure, Derren is, once again,
looking forward to the challenge that comes with being
acknowledged as one of the world’s most renowned live
performers; a dark manipulator of magic and mind control.
This will be Derren’s seventh show since 2003. Since then he
has toured every year and been watched by an estimated audience
of over one and a half million people. He has won two prestigious
Olivier Awards, for Something Wicked This Way Comes (2006)
and Svengali (2012). His last show, Infamous, was universally
acclaimed by critics and audience alike.
