TIM RICE & ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S LEGENDARY MUSICAL

Jesus Christ Superstar exploded onto the musical scene

in 1971 - stunning audiences and changing the face of

musical theatre forever. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd

Webber’s rock opera tells the story of the last seven

days in the life of Jesus through an extraordinary,

groundbreaking score. As compelling today as

it was at its inception over

forty years ago, Jesus

Christ Superstar has some

of musical theatre’s most

legendary songs from I Don’t Know

How to Love Him, Everything’s Alright and

Gethsemane through to, of course, Superstar.

Leading performer Glenn Carter returns as Jesus,

a role he has played in the West End, on Broadway

and on film. Musical theatre star Tim Rogers, whose

theatre credits include Carousel, Whistle Down the

Wind, Jersey Boys and the title role in Jekyll & Hyde

at the Union Theatre plays Judas Iscariot, while

X Factor finalist Rachel Adedeji stars as Mary

Magdalene direct from the UK and European

tour of Thriller Live.

Produced by Bill Kenwright and the creative team behind

numerous blockbuster musicals, Jesus Christ Superstar

tells the world’s oldest story with the superb theatricality

they have brought to Evita, Joseph, Cabaret, Blood Brothers,

Whistle Down the Wind, Starlight Express and many more.

BOOK BY LAURENCE MARKS AND MAURICE GRAN It’s 1963 and the world is changing. Bobby and Laura’s first single

Dreamboats and Petticoats went to the top of the charts - but they

haven’t been able to repeat that success with any further records.

Norman and Sue have settled down to non-marital bliss -

and a baby! But Ray and Donna seem blissfully happy.

The advent of the Beatles and the Merseyside sound is inspirational.

But will it inspire Bobby and Laura to have one more shot at stardom,

Norman to ‘get off the drains’ and find that singing voice he has longed

for, and Ray to realise his ambition and manage a really top pop act?

All will be revealed in a follow up with the same wit and charm as

Dreamboats and Petticoats and great songs from the next

period in pop history.

AN AMATEUR PRODUCTION BY ARRANGEMENT WITH THE REALLY USEFUL GROUP LTD

logo: TM & © 1993 RUG Ltd.

BASED ON THE BILLY WILDER FILM

Orchestrations by DAVID CULLEN

and ANDREW LLOYD WEBBEROriginal production by The Really Useful Group Ltd.

The Really Useful Group Ltd. Gratefully acknowledges

the role of AMY POWERS in the lyric development

of Sunset Boulevard

BLOC Productions are delighted to present Sunset Boulevard,

following on from last season’s highly acclaimed production

of Sister Act - nominated by NODA for ‘Best Musical’.

Sunset Boulevard weaves a magnificent tale of past

glories and unfulfilled ambitions.

The plot revolves around Norma Desmond, a faded star of the

silent screen era. Having been discarded by tinsel town with the

introduction of ‘talkies’, her path is accidentally crossed by

a young screenwriter, Joe Gillis, and she sees in him an

opportunity to make her comeback.

This is truly one of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s finest scores, the

haunting melodies of which complement a dramatic storyline.

audiences alike and this major production is a rare chance to return to

‘AN ALL BUT LOST ERA OF MUSICAL COMEDY’ THE GUARDIAN

ROMEO & JULIETEnglish National Ballet brings the world’s greatest love story

to the stage with Rudolf Nureyev’s inventive and passionate

choreography and Prokofiev’s exhilarating score performed

live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.

Sumptuous costumes and sets transport you to Renaissance

Verona, its piazza bustling with market traders, street

entertainers and the restless factions of the Capulet and

Montague families.

Amidst the grandeur of the Capulet’s ball, our star-crossed

lovers meet, unleashing a fateful sequence of events, from

the romantic balcony scene to their tragic final embrace.

Full of action, humour and drama, Rudolf Nureyev’s award-

winning production of Romeo & Juliet was especially created

for English National Ballet in 1977 to celebrate the Queen’s

Silver Jubilee. The Company has since performed it

worldwide to critical acclaim.

WNO’S AUTUMN SEASON 2015

15I puritani and Orlando are sung in Italian with English surtitles. Sweeney Todd is sung in English.

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd.

His skin was pale and his eye was odd.

He shaved the faces of gentlemen,

Who never thereafter were heard of again...

The genius of Stephen Sondheim takes this tale of poverty,

madness and spiralling depravity to a whole new level.

He creates a musical recipe which lodges in the memory

like the richest flavours and aromas of your favourite meal.

Though after this performance, we’d guess that won’t

include any variety of meat pie...

Performed by Welsh National Opera, James Brining’s thrilling

production of this musical masterpiece is set in the late 1970s/

early 1980s. Clever lyrics drive the story along with pace and

pitch black humour, drawing you, almost against your will -

into the world of a man pushed over the edge of reason by a

corrupt and powerful elite.CO-PRODUCTION WITH WALES MILLENNIUM CENTRE AND WEST YORKSHIRE PLAYHOUSE

IN ASSOCIATION WITH ROYAL EXCHANGE THEATRE

Originally produced on Broadway by Richard Barr, Charles Woodward, Robert Fryer,

Mary Lea Johnson, Martin Richard, in association with Dean and Judy Manos.

Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited on behalf of

Music Theatre International of New York.

WNO’s Autumn Season also includes two great operas which

tell the stories of characters suffering emotional and mental

turmoil - Bellini’s bel canto masterpiece I PURITANI and Handel’s

poignant baroque treasure ORLANDO. Both operas offer many

moments of sublime music and drama you will carry with you

for weeks to come. The time is WNO - book now.

THE NATION’S STRICTLY COME DANCING STARS IN THEIR ULTIMATE FAREWELL SHOW

Fresh from their sell-out hit shows Midnight Tango and

Dance ’Til Dawn, Strictly superstars Vincent Simone & Flavia

Cacace have created their most moving production yet as

they prepare to dance in their final ever theatre tour.

Twenty years of dancing together has seen them become

Strictly Come Dancing favourites and World Dance title-holders,

who create and star in their own West End productions. Now it

is finally time for the nation’s best loved Argentine Tango

Champions to say goodbye to the stage in a thrilling,

new, live performance.

Don’t miss your last chance to see this beautiful couple do

what they do best live, in an intimate, passionate and

explosive experience - it’s time for The Last Tango.

Winner of the Tony Awards ‘Triple Crown’ for Best Musical,

Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part

felt and packed with heart.

Following five years in the West End, sell-out runs worldwide and

a smash hit tour in 2014 (packed with mischief, bad behaviour and

political incorrectness) this hugely entertaining show has

hit the road again!

Since its premiere in 2012 Matthew Bourne’s dazzling production

of Sleeping Beauty has won the hearts of thousands and smashed

box office records across the UK and the USA since its premiere.

Matthew Bourne’s haunting scenario is a gothic romance for all

ages; the traditional tale of good versus evil and rebirth is turned

upside-down, creating a supernatural love story that even the

passage of time itself cannot hinder.

Featuring spectacular designs by Olivier Award winners

Lez Brotherston (set and costumes) and Paule Constable

(lighting). The sound design by Paul Groothuis takes the audience

into the heart of Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score in specially

recorded surround sound.

Don’t miss this chance to experience a new classic in New

Adventures’ growing repertoire - it might just be another 100

years before Sleeping Beauty re-awakens.
