Pinocchio
A riot from first line to last bow, Danny Adams leads us through this high octane, fun fuelled festive mayhem of a pantomime leaving EVERYONE howling with laughter. The pantomime at Newcastle Theatre Royal has long been a highlight of the theatre calendar – lavish sets, wonderful costumes and brilliant acting have always been a given, such is the quality that the theatre have always prided itself on. But more recently there has been an extra dimension to this end of year sh

Jesus Christ Superstar
Powerful, passionate and poignant, this legend of a show continues to amaze and astound Written as a concept album back in 1971, Jesus Christ Superstar went on to become one of the standout operas of the 20th century, marking Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice as luminaries in the musical theatre world and spawning a multitude of follow ups, homages and tributes.

2:22 Ghost Story
You can't always blame the foxes This ground breaking, award winning production, written by broadcaster, performer and podcaster Danny Robins, is playing at Newcastle Theatre Royal, scaring and delighting audiences in equal amounts. Set in the modern day but with more than a passing nod to the tradition of ghost stories through the ages, Robins gives us every element of the spooky supernatural, all wrapped up in a play which could easily stand next to Mike Leigh’s Abigail’s P

The Bodyguard
When performed by such a brilliant cast you will always love this show The opening scene of The Bodyguard: The Musical, will delight fans of the 1992 film – it’s almost identical and the jump scares from the off immediately gives you the feeling of revisiting a much loved rainy-day comforter . That said, the stage version picks up the pace with a much more music-forward, funny, and dynamic production which will create many new fans. Ayden Callaghan (Emmerdale, Hollyoaks) pla

Dirty Dancing
Nobody puts this show in the corner. Possibly one of the most iconic movies of the 80’s, packed with oft quoted dialogue, wonderful costumes, a wicked soundtrack and of course, THAT lift, Dirty Dancing was, and probably still is, the much loved, and most watched film for a generation. Its transferral from film to stage has certainly not harmed it at all, in fact some subtle changes help explain cultural references unfamiliar to younger audiences while giving it a new feel to

Sister Act
"Sister Act is Fabulous Baby!” By Vicky - NorthEastKids I grew up watching Sister Act the movie so I was very excited to see it for the first time on the stage. Opening night of any show is always a special one to go to and this was no exception, the atmosphere was bouncing and looking around the theatre it was evident that this show was loved by all walks of life, with a very diverse audience. Very like the film, the show follows the story of Deloris Van Cartier as she hides
