and lyrics by Kander and Ebb, the team behind

Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome to Bill Kenwright’s
multi award winning hit West End production
of CABARET! The “Sensational”
Double Olivier Award Winner and Variety Club
Awards ‘Best Musical’, turns Weimar
Berlin of 1931 into a divine haven of decadence,
its extraordinary and morally ambiguous inhabitants

war. And at its heart is the legendary Sally
Bowles who performs nightly at the infamous
Kit Kat Klub in ‘A shimmering masterpiece
of a show guaranteed night after night! It’s
divine decadence darling!’ Since its
Broadway premiere in 1966 and the famous movie
version, with Liza Minnelli, Michael York
and Joel Grey, CABARET has won a staggering
number of stage and screen awards including
8 Oscar’s, 7 BAFTA’s and 13 Tony’s.

FOR
THE LOVE OF MRS BROWN |
|
| Monday
29th September to Saturday 4th October 2008
- 7.30pm |
| The
show returns after an earlier showing at
the Empire in March. As you have sampled
Mrs Brown's trilogy, here is the brand new
story with the same great humour and laughter.
For one week only, you can see this hilarious
show that will have your sides splitting!
Having discovered the internet, Agnes Brown
accidentally sets up a date with a man she
knows only as HairyHarry25. Despite some
of her family's protests, Agnes is determined
to see her date through. We follow Agnes
as she prepares for her big date. Her preparations
include learning all over again how to date
a man - but this time in the 21st century,
where men expect more from a date than they
did in her day. So with the help of Winnie,
Cathy, Maria and Betty, and despite the
objections of the boys in the family, Agnes
gets ready for the Valentine's Night date.
This includes a radical diet, sex lessons,
dressing for the occasion and self defence.

JENUFA
- WELSH NATIONAL OPERA |
|
| Friday
21st October - 7.15pm |
| WNO's
production of Jenufa is a landmark in musical
theatre. It is a lyrical and intensely theatrical
opera. Despite the tragedy of the work, Janácek's
score gives real hope for the human spirit.
These performances welcome the return of Nuccia
Focile to WNO. Jenufa hopes for marriage to
Števa, the father of her baby, but is
rejected. After spurning the advances of Števa's
brother Laca - and being disfigured by him,
she is hidden by her stepmother to give birth
in secret. Her stepmother takes the baby,
telling her it has died. Jenufa is reconciled
with Laca and agrees to marry him –
but as the ceremony is about to begin, a murdered
baby is found under the ice. (back
