The classic Broadway hit will be the first fully staged musical ever to be performed in the round at the Royal Albert Hall.

Packed full of timeless classics and showstopping hits, SHOW BOAT is a musical treasure that, through song and dance, evokes the Deep South at the turn of the century; not only its passion and flamboyance, but also its racial prejudice, poverty and abandonment.
This panoramic story of romance spanning almost fifty years depicts life on the Cotton Blossom floating theatre, the Hawks family and their show boat troupe of actors. With hundreds of lavish costumes by Sue Willmington and vivid choreography by Arthur Pita, a superb cast will perform under the acclaimed musical direction of David Charles Abell accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in this rapturous extravaganza of musical entertainment. |
This amazing meal package includes:
A 2 course meal + a complimentary glass of champagne
A Circle ticket
All for just £60

£20 tickets for See How They Run
It is 1942.The storm clouds are gathering.
In the idyllic English village of Merton-cum-Middlewick the residents are bracing themselves for imminent German invasion. But at the Vicarage, there are more pressing matters at hand......
The Reverend Lionel Toop goes to the Parish concert leaving his wayward wife ex-actress Penelope, to hold the fort with Ida, the incompetent maid.
Five unexpected arrivals set in motion a dizzying series of mistaken identities, sending rumours and cassocks flying! The vicarage is overrun with bishops, soldiers, the irate parish spinster, a multitude of vicars and an escaped German prisoner of war lurking in the garden. Uniforms are lost, found, begged, borrowed and chaos runs riot. And just when you think things can’t get any worse - they do.
Philip King’s classic British comedy in a mint new production directed by Douglas Hodge is a delight for young and old. |

Join us for a live grump fest in a guaranteed World Cup free zone.
Jenny Eclair, Linda Robson and Dillie Keane (whose combined age is unprintable) host an orgy of middle aged mayhem, 90 minutes of theatrical HRT with not a thong in sight.
Inspired by the ratings busting BBC TWO series and best selling Grumpy Old Women Official Handbook, Grumpy Old Women Live is an uproariously funny celebration of the pre, peri and post menopausal female condition. Don’t forget your bifocals.
No heckling, but ‘tutting’ allowed.
Be home in time for Desperate Housewives and to put a wash on. Marvellous.
