From April 2025
The six-time Tony® Award-winning Dear Evan Hansen returns to Birmingham!
Welcome to THE ALEXANDRA
2025 is off to an excellent start and we can’t wait to spring into a new season of shows.
In true theatre fashion, in January we held our staff ‘Christmas’ party. Our team (usually working behind-thescenes) were invited to take their place on-stage for an Awards Gala and karaoke. It was a wonderful evening to celebrate our dedicated staff who all play their part in making The Alex what it is today – so here’s a big shout out and thank you, to them.
We loved welcoming the brand new NOW That’s What I Call A Musical in March, set in none other than Birmingham – that’s right, bab! And looking ahead we celebrate the return of many Brum favourites including Chicago, Dear Evan Hansen and Ghost Stories.
We’re thrilled to be hosting the West Midlands amateur premiere of Les Misérables ‘Let The People Sing’ in June. BMOS Musical Theatre Company return to our venue, in collaboration with other local theatre groups, to bring this iconic show to life.
We’re also gearing up for our 20th Stage Experience production as aspiring performers and budding theatre technicians will take to our stage to present West Side Story in August.
Thank you, as always, for supporting us. We hope to welcome you to our theatre very soon.

Adapted from Paula Hawkins’ novel –an international phenomenon selling over twenty million copies worldwide – this gripping new play will keep you guessing until the final moment.
Rachel Watson longs for a different life.
Her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window every day, happy and in love. Or so it appears. When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.
Louisa Lytton (EastEnders, 2:22: A Ghost Story, Murdoch Mysteries) will star in this brand new production, following the play’s first sell out UK tour.

Children
No children under 3 will be admitted to the venue except where it is specifically stated at the time of booking that the event is suitable for under 3s. Babes in arms (children under 18 months unless otherwise stated at the time of booking and on the ticket) will only be admitted to performances that are specifically aimed for them (pantomimes and shows permitting under 3s only). Where babes in arms are permitted they shall be admitted free of charge. If any other age restrictions apply for a particular performance this will be stated on the relevant production page of our website. Children (ages 18 months to 15 years inclusive) shall require their own ticket which shall be at full ticket price if no child concessions are available at the time of booking. Children (ages 15 years and under) must be supervised at all times. Supervision of children shall be by no less than 1 adult (aged 18 years or over) per 10 children and the supervising adult must sit next to the child/ren. The Management reserves the right to ask parents / supervisors to remove children if, in the opinion of the Management, they are causing a disturbance. Please note that some productions can be loud, if a member of your party is sensitive to this, we would recommend bringing their preferred noise protection.

Information about fees
Up to £2.25 from each ticket sold is used for the upkeep and improvements to your venue. We spend this wisely to give you the best experience possible, provide equal access for everyone and offer creative learning opportunities in local communities across the UK. Additional fees may also apply where we sell tickets for non-ATG venues, or for selected big name shows and performances. These additional fees may take the form of a per ticket booking fee and/or a one-off transaction fee. Please check our website for the most up-to-date ticket prices and fees. The information in this brochure is correct at the time of going to press. We reserve the right to make alterations to the published programme of events, their prices, concessions, offers and fees.
