Based on the beloved books by Rick Riordan, this vibrant stage adaptation plunges audiences straight into a world where Greek mythology collides with modern teenage life. For those unf

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 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
