Director: Adam Meggido Writer: Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields. Theatre: Leeds Grand Theatre Duration: 120 minutes Start Date: June 17, 2015 Following Mischief Theatre's smash hit comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, the company present a second outing of theatrical disaster when Peter Pan Goes Wrong at the Leeds Grand Theatre this week. Promising perilously violent stunts, gloriously destructive sets and general calamity on stage, it offers a version of Peter Pan which audiences are never likely to forget. When the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society pulls into town it is guaranteed something will go wrong. This year's Christmas production of Peter Pan (opening in the Summer due to a booking error) is touted as the most expensive production from the company yet. Starting with noble and ambitions intentions, the show begins to fracture as actors drop out, scenery falls apart and lighting and sound runs wild. Famous for featuring a flying boy who didn't grow up, Peter Pan Goes Wrong is a downward tailspin of chaos, calamity and courage. As ever, the show must go on...

Director: Matthew White Writer: Mel Brooks & Thomas Meehan Theatre: Leeds Grand Theatre Duration: 150 minutes Start Date: June 8, 2015 In 2001 Mel Brooks adapted his hit comedy film The Producers into a hit Broadway musical. This week the Tony award-winning show arrives at Leeds Grand Theatre. The Producers is the story of Max Bialystock (Cory English), a theatre producer with a string of Broadway stinkers to his name. When accountant Leo Bloom (Jason Manford) reveals that more money can be made from a failure than a success, Bialystock sources a hideous script to be realised by an incapable director, in the hope of creating a guaranteed flop. With plans to escape with the show's investments to Brazil, the duo's hopes are dashed when Springtime For Hitler becomes an unexpected hit. Cast: Henry Shields, Greg Tannahill, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Charlie Russell, Dave Hearn, Nancy Wallinger, Rob Falconer.

Theatre: Leeds Grand Theatre Duration: 120 minutes The Play That Goes Wrong stops off at Leeds Grand Theatre this week as part of a national tour.

Director: Tom Bailey Writer: Tom Bailey and Greg Jameson Theatre: Seven Arts, Leeds Duration: 90 mins Premiering at the Seven Arts Theatre in Leeds this weekend was Buerk! The Newsical, a breakthrough musical by Tom Bailey and Gregory Jameson. Charting the fictional fall and rise of BBC journalist Michael Buerk and his (extremely fictional) love affair with Moira Stuart, the two-act show is a warm-hearted and bawdy celebration of all things Nineteen-Eighties. Spotted by a crazed BBC News Editor and quickly fast-tracked to The Nine O’Clock News, Buerk (Gregory Jameson) is soon shoulder-to-shoulder and cheek-to-cheek with glamorous newsgirl Moira (Helen McDonald). Feeling very much aggrieved is lusty weatherman McCaskill (Ollie Burton), who musters all of his metrological voodoo to summon the great storm of 1987. A globe-trotting extravaganza of music, Mugabe and mulligatawny ensues as the two media heavyweights battle it out to win the woman of their dreams. |
