Gypsy

A consummate show-biz musical suggested by the memoirs of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. She was once just plain Louise, the awkward daughter of an unstoppably ambitious stage mother. When her pretty sister runs away from the family's minor vaudeville act, Louise tries to fulfill her mother's dreams.

But it's not until trouping with Mama dwindles to appearing in burlesque, that Louise finally finds pleasure in the spotlight. The vibrant score includes toe-tapping classics such as 'Some People,' 'Let Me Entertain You,' 'Together,' 'Everything's Coming Up Roses' and 'Rose's Turn.'

16th – 20th March 2010, 7.15 p.m. each evening.

Beauty and the Beast

The charming stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning Disney animation, Beauty and the Beast relates the story of Belle, a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father; when he inadvertently offends the Beast (a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself), Belle boldly takes her father's place, imprisoned in the Beast's gloomy mansion, and gradually teaches him how to love and be loved.

Featuring a winning coterie of supporting characters (the Beast's mansion is overrun by quipping, dancing household items such as Lumiere the maître d’ – turned –candelabra and Mrs Potts, the housekeeper- turned -tea pot) and an array of beautiful and hilarious songs by composer Alan Menken and the late, lamented lyricist Howard Ashman, this show is sure to entrance both young and old.

15th – 19th March 2011
