Festive theatre this Christmas

 

 FESTIVE THEATRE THIS CHRISTMAS

We all missed a theatrical Christmas last year so Leicester’s theatres have really pushed the boat out for 2021

Curve has, as usual, programmed two festive shows for the holidays. First up is the hotly anticipated revival of a classic of musical theatre, A Chorus Line, starring Adam Cooper, Carly Mercedes Dyer (Shug in the recent Curve production of The Color Purple and Anita in West Side Story) and directed by Nikolai Foster with choreography by Ellen Kane. This runs from 3-31 December. Especially for the younger members of the community is The Smeds and The Smoos. Adapted from the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler this is a nice bite sized 55 minutes running from 1-31 December. Full details https://www.curveonline.co.uk

Over at DeMontfort Hall last year’s pantomime, Sleeping Beauty, has been rescheduled. If you had tickets from last year then they are valid for this year. Full details are on the website. The panto runs from 11 December to 3 January and stars Wendi Peters (Coronation Street), Martin Ballard, returning illusionists Matthew Pomeroy and Natasha Lamb and a whole host of Leicester favourites.

The Little Theatre also has its annual pantomime back this year. Devised and directed by John Bale the ever popular Cinderella will grace the stage in Dover Street from 10 December to 2 January. More info https://www.thelittletheatre.co.uk

Finally The Y Theatre, in amongst its usual bands and comedians, has a special family show, Santa’s Best Ever Christmas, on 10th & 11th December. Tickets at https://leicesterymca.ticketsolve.com
