EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS

When it became news some years back that one of Britain’s most phenomenally successful comedy writers, Ben Elton, was teaming up with legends of rock, Queen, for a musical, we all wondered what such a unique collaboration would turn out. Especially when screen icon Robert de Niro became so impressed after attending the original workshop that his company Tribeca came on board.

The result was a new chapter in theatre history – We Will Rock You a rock ‘theatrical’ which defied all comparisons and has gone on to become a global smash hit.

Bursting with incredible human feats and death-defying acts, the show includes body twisting contortionists, girls suspended in mid-air on floating silks, a rotating wheel of death, award-winning clowns Valik and Valerik and the unbelievable crossbow act of The Popazovs.

A sensational show that encompasses contemporary and classical circus at its very best.

This brand new version of Half a Sixpence is brought to life by The Lyric Club for one week only. Arthur Kipps and his childhood sweetheart, Ann Pornick, are very much in love and as a sign of this love Kipps gives Ann half a sixpence to remind her of him when they are apart.

Byrne is a hard man. A fixer. His journey through the ganglands of Glasgow’s East End has taken him from teenage truant to petty criminal to gangster and to prison.

‘Ma roads mapped oot fur me. Ah keep a chib over the door an a blade in ma bedroom’ The Hard Man is an intense and stylized exploration of notorious gangster turned artist Jimmy Boyle’s early life and of the cult of male violence on the streets of Glasgow – a world dominated by struggle and brutality, success and failure, victims and perpetrators. And a world still frighteningly part of Scotland today.

This brand new production is the first major revival for over thirty years.

Footloose, the electrifying musical, explodes onto the King’s Theatre stage for one week only and is packed with classic 80s anthems including Holding Out For A Hero, Almost Paradise, Let’s Hear It For The Boy, and of course the title track, Footloose.

Life in small-town Bomont is peaceful – until city boy, Ren, arrives.

Breaking every taboo, Ren brings dance back to the heart of a town held back by the memory of a tragedy.

Based on the hit 80s movie (which launched the careers of Kevin Bacon, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jon Lithgow), Footloose has become a stage musical phenomenon. From Broadway to the West End and touring across the UK, this high-energy musical is packed full of exhilarating dance routines, guaranteed to get you to your feet.

Dancing is not a crime; to miss Footloose would be!

Marti Pellow, the hugely successful solo artist and front man of Wet Wet Wet, makes a hotly-anticipated return to the UK stage in a major new production of the hit Broadway musical, Jekyll & Hyde.

Marti Pellow’s successes with Wet Wet Wet include dozens of top ten singles and multi-platinum albums; their hit single, Love Is All Around, spent 15 weeks at the number one spot in the UK charts in 1994 when it featured on the soundtrack to the romantic comedy of the decade, Four Weddings And A Funeral. As well as a critically acclaimed solo career, Marti has gone on to star in the West End, on Broadway and on national tour in the smash-hit stage musicals Chicago and The Witches Of Eastwick.

Glamorous, sexy and deliciously wicked in equal measures, Jekyll & Hyde is based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic gothic novella.

‘THE BEST MUSICAL OF THE DECADE’ Christopher Hart, SUNDAY TIMES After nearly five years of mischief, bad behaviour and political incorrectness, London’s funniest show by far is hitting the road. The Tony Award-winning Avenue Q is the irresistibly charming musical about the lovably hopeless characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life’s burning issues: love, work, relationships.

Hilarous and uproariously entertaining and performed by a cast of hugely talented puppets and performers, Avenue Q is a musical like no other.

Recommended age 12+ - adult themes and strong language.

This all new 90 minute musical adventure is packed with audience sing-a-longs, high-energy dancing and thrilling adventures.

When Thomas makes a big mistake, all the engines on the Island of Sodor must work together to prepare for the exciting event under the Big Top and Thomas must prove he’s a really useful engine once again.

In this fun-filled family show, Percy, James, Gordon and of course Thomas join The Fat Controller and the townspeople from the Island of Sodor to welcome a colourful cast of circus performers in an engaging story that’s not to be missed. ©2008 Gullane (Thomas) Ltd. ©2008 HIT Entertainment Ltd.HIT and HIT LOGO are trademarks of HIT Entertainment Ltd.

Barry Potty and his brother Paul accidentally arrive at Pigsnorts School of Magic. They actually took a wrong turn on the motorway as they had bought a second hand sat-nav at a car boot sale and it’s in German. Strange things start to happen with magical illusions and a story that could be an episode of ChuckleVision.

A strange man by the name of Lord Fonterall tries to take over the magic school in order to cause trouble and he isn’t happy that the two bumbling brothers have arrived and tries to stop them with cunning consequences. Will he win and stop the Brothers Chuckle? Of course he won’t as Paul and Barry have a plan, don’t they?

Don’t miss this new show with full supporting cast. A big Chuckle Brother’s show to remember!
