Autumn Season Brochure 2024

Page 1


to the autumn season of live entertainment at Bradford Theatres!

We’re thrilled to kick off our autumn 2024 season and can’t wait for you to dive into our new brochure – there’s something exciting for everyone!

Join us at the Alhambra Theatre, St George’s Hall, The Studio, and King’s Hall in Ilkley for the best in live entertainment. From musicals and stand-up comedy to a diverse line-up of live music, we’ve got a packed schedule that promises unforgettable moments.

While we have too many amazing shows to list them all here, we must spotlight two spectacular long-running productions at the Alhambra Theatre. Get ready for outrageous laughs with The Book of Mormon, gracing our stage for 3 weeks in November. Then, in early December, our annual pantomime kicks off with a fresh twist on a classic tale – this year, it’s Pinocchio! Plus, there’s still time to book for Disney’s Aladdin, making its UK tour debut and landing at our venue for 3 weeks in August.

We’re committed to going green and reducing our printed materials. Our season brochure is now available online on our website, and we encourage you to opt for email communications to stay updated on all our shows. If you need to update your mailing preferences, you can do so online or by contacting our Box Office.

I look forward to extending our usual warm welcome when you visit Bradford Theatres next season.

Best wishes

Monday 21 – Saturday 26 October

‘Murder, greed, corruption, exploitation, adultery and treachery… all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts.’ So begins the international multi-awardwinning musical, Chicago

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.

Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, Chicago’s sexy, sassy score with one show-stopping song after another includes Razzle Dazzle, Cell Block Tango, and All That Jazz. With 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations, Chicago truly is ‘superb’ (Daily Telegraph). Don’t miss out, book now! It would be criminal to miss it...

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s multi-award-winning cultural phenomenon Hamilton is touring the UK for the very first time and is coming to the Alhambra Theatre for a 7-week season from Tuesday 28 January 2025.

Hamilton is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the very foundations of the America we know today. The score blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway – the story of America then, as told by America now.

Hamilton has book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, is directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire and is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton.

Winner of 11 Tony Awards including Best Musical, 7 Olivier Awards, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
