Amadeus
Amadeus
After seeing in Christmas with some fundraising cabaret, Everyman Theatre begin 2025 with a shot at a play written by Peter Shaffer in 1979 (and turned into a film by him five years later) dramatising the life of Mozart. It centres on the bitter, if largely fictional, rivalry between he and Antonio Salieri, an Austrian …
Hamilton
Hamilton
Possibly the most widely lauded musical of the last decade or two, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s song-based retelling of USA Founding Father Alexander Hamilton's story will land in Cardiff across the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025, meaning the 10th anniversary of its off-Broadway premiere will be spent at the Wales Millennium Centre. Which is nice. …

Dick Whittington And The Pi-rats Of The Caribbean
Dick Whittington And The Pi-rats Of The Caribbean
Scheduling a panto run to start after Dec 31 always feels a bit of a hostage to fortune, to me, but it must be tried and tested. The Wardens Theatre Company are doing this one and as you can surmise from the title, it combines a classic pantomime premise with some more contemporary references. Weekend …

Bad Girls The Musical
Bad Girls The Musical
Remember Bad Girls the TV drama? It was massive at the time (turn of the millennium) but you’d be forgiven for thinking its cultural footprint is faint at best. That would though reckon without the musical adaption, which began basically as soon as the show was canned and has been taken on here by Connect …
An Evening with Shane, Lee & Hookie
An Evening with Shane, Lee & Hookie
That’s Shane Williams, Lee Byrne and James Hook, and they’re going to sit onstage and talk to you (and I suppose each other) about rugby. The event is produced by …

Only Fools And Horses: The Musical
Only Fools And Horses: The Musical
It strikes me that if Del Boy’s career was in the entertainment business, he would be commissioning musical adaptions of old sitcoms for a “lovely jubbly” payday. As it is, OFAH The Musical was brought to life by Jim Sullivan, son of the original show’s creator John, with Paul Whitehouse. Chas from Chas & Dave …

Tease!
Tease!
Burlesque/cabaret touring show, featuring the apparently award-winning Lady Lust and Miss Temptation, who don’t have any profile I can find outside of this production.
