Curve | Summer - Autumn 2023 Brochure

SUMMER – AUTUMN 2023

TO SUMMER AT It’s been a long winter and we are all thrilled to see a bit of sunshine and share some sunny new shows with you.

O

ur big summer show 42nd Street is full steam ahead tapping its way across our stage and promises to be one of the highlights of the year. Jonathan Church is one of our leading directors and his production of Singin’ In The Rain has been seen across the globe – he has already weaved his magic on 42nd Street, with a first-class company, led by musical theatre royalty Ruthie Henshall, Adam Garcia, Josefina Gabrielle, Nicole-Lily Baisden, Sam Lips and Les Dennis. Rob Jones' designs are sublime (think epic 1930s Deco glamour to rival our neighbours over at Athena!), whilst Bill Deamer is literally tapping up a storm that will send you time-stepping through the streets of Leicester after the show, giddy with the sheer spectacle of it all. Be sure to book your tickets before 42nd Street taps down to London and onto the Sadler's Wells stage, where it joins our other Made at Curve shows; The Wizard Of Oz at the Palladium, and Grease at the Dominion.

Our relationship with De Montfort University continues to flourish and as part of this relationship, each year we present a production with the university's BA Hons Drama students.

This year Cara Nolan directs Jim Cartwright’s beautiful play, Road. Usually performed by two actors, Cara has reimagined this classic play for a much larger cast, who bring the play to life brilliantly, with flair and imagination.

Unexpected Twist takes Dickens’ famous story of the boy who always ask for more and gives it a thrilling 21st century makeover. Beatboxing, hip-hop music, choreography and terrifically inventive storytelling combine to celebrate Dickens’ great novel afresh. It’s fun, fresh and a joyous night of theatre for all ages.

It’s always a joy to welcome Matthew Bourne to Leicester and especially with his returning triumph, Romeo and Juliet. Matthew has assembled an incomparable group of young dancers to bring his thrilling account of this story to life once again.

As well as the familiar musical titles, it’s vital we all support the next generation of musical theatre talent and we are excited to be involved in two new musicals – Ride and The Book Thief – both visiting Curve this year. Ride is a new musical by Freya Catrin Smith and Jack Williams and is set in the late 1800s, telling the exhilarating story of Annie Londonderry, who sets herself the challenge of cycling across the world. It’s a fascinating story told with panache.

The Book Thief originated at the fantastic Octagon Theatre in Bolton. Seen on stage for the very first time in a world premiere new musical based on Markus Zusak‘s global best-selling novel, The Book Thief is adapted by award-winning bestselling author Jodi Picoult (My Sister’s Keeper) and Timothy Allen McDonald (adaptor of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka and James And The Giant Peach) with music and lyrics by Kate Anderson and Elyssa Samsel (Olaf’s Frozen Adventure).

Curve on the Square was born out of lockdown and wanting to make theatre for you when we couldn’t come together indoors. It turned out to be a huge success, with thousands of people enjoying free performances by local artists on Orton Square. We are thrilled to bring back this free event, with performances by our stunningly talented local artists to the Square this summer.

Grab a pint, some sunshine* and let us entertain you in a relaxed, informal and free-to-everyone event. (*Sunshine not guaranteed – but fun most certainly is!)

We’re pleased to welcome National Youth Music Theatre back to Curve over the summer, when they present Kiss Me Kate alongside a new musical, The Boy Who Sailed The Ocean In An Armchair. A few years ago NYMT presented Sweet Charity here at Curve – leading that show was our future The Wizard Of Oz star Georgina Onuorah – so by supporting these talented young people you’re not only supporting the next generation of performers, but might witness a star being born!

#DidYouKnow £10 tickets are available on all shows at Curve!* As a registered charity (no. 230708) with a commitment to making theatre accessible to all, we have a number of £10 tickets available for all shows when they are placed on sale.

To find out more about our £10 tickets and discounts, check out the individual show pages on our website at curveonline.co.uk or call the Box Office on 0116 242 3595. *Prices and discounts are subject to change and can be amended or removed at any time.

There are a sprinkling of concerts and one off comedy performances across the months ahead. One of the highlights we are looking forward to is acclaimed music superstar Nitin Sawhney, who visits Leicester as part of his national concert tour.

Casting and preparations for our big Christmas musical, Evita are shaping up nicely. Joining our team is Hollywood choreographer, Adam Murray. Adam started his career working on the musical Wicked and has since helped bring to life films like Rocketman and Cruella. We are excited to welcome Adam to Curve, working alongside an exciting cast and production team, bringing to life Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s landmark show in this brand new Made at Curve production.

Choreographed and designed by Olivier Award winners Bill Deamer and Rob Jones, 42nd Street is a timeless and inspiring showbiz fairy tale that combines breath-taking tap dance routines, backstage intrigue, classic romance and delightful comedy to dazzling effect. It’s simply irresistible!

Fresh off the bus from small-town America, young and beautiful Peggy Sawyer arrives in New York City dreaming of her name in lights. She quickly catches the eye of a big-time director and lands a spot in the chorus line of Broadway’s newest show and when the leading lady gets injured, Peggy gets her shot at stardom.

With a star cast that includes Ruthie Henshall, Adam Garcia, Josefina Gabrielle and Les Dennis, as well as Nicole-Lily Baisden (Anything Goes) as Peggy Sawyer, 42nd Street is a larger-than-life, massively entertaining celebration of musicals and the irrepressible energy of Broadway that's guaranteed to lift anyone's spirits.

THE SPY IN THE STALLS

“A sublime, pitchperfect production”

“One of the best musicals this year”

Original Cast: Liv Andrusier and Yuki Sutton photographed by Danny Kaan

FRI 7 – SAT 15 JUL • STUDIO THEATRE The extraordinary story of the first woman to cycle around the world.

Multi-award-winning new musical Ride launches at Curve in a “sublime, pitch-perfect production” (WhatsOnStage) with a “stunning original score” (EverythingTheatre) following its critically acclaimed, sell out run in London last year.

It’s 1894 and as the bicycle is sweeping change across America, Annie Londonderry finds herself with a wager to settle: can a woman cycle across the world? With only 15 months to make the trek across four continents, she quickly finds herself involved in more than she bargained for. From moneymaking masquerades as a Harvard professor to hunting tigers with German royalty, Annie spins the media into a frenzy with tales of her thrilling escapades. But with time running out and press coverage spiralling, she soon discovers that no matter how far she rides, the secrets of her past will always catch up with her.

Join Annie on the journey of a lifetime in the smash-hit musical about adventure, determination, and rewriting your narrative. Liv Andrusier, Off West End Award winner for her “barnstorming performance” (The Stage) as Annie Londonderry, returns to the saddle in this five-star production that “ticks literally all of the boxes” (Musical Theatre Musings).

Led by our Artistic Director and Creative Programmes team, we are particularly interested in working with artists who make work in Leicestershire and want to develop meaningful performances and projects with our local communities and audiences.

We work with artists who are early-career and leaving education right up to those who are established and experienced professionals. We understand that every artist’s career is unique and that there are very few set career-paths and so we avoid using age as a determining factor for our opportunities (unless where there is specific funding criteria to support an opportunity).

Below are some of the opportunities we have available.

DRAMA

29

TUE 19 – SAT 23 SEP • THEATRE One morning Gregor Samsa awakes to find himself changed. To those around him he is dangerous, untouchable vermin. Worse than that, he is a burden.

A word said, an action out of place, the opening of old wounds, none of which can be undone. Until now Gregor has woken every morning, quietly left to take the same train, and worked to pay off the family debt.

But that world explodes on this morning of brutal metamorphosis.

In their first commission since 2019, and following their hit production of Othello, Frantic Assembly return to Curve with a stunning new show in collaboration with Lemn Sissay OBE, a thrilling new adaptation of Metamorphosis. Combining the fluidity and lyricism of Sissay's adaptation and Frantic’s uncompromising physicality, this promises to be an unmissable retelling of Franz Kafka’s shocking tale of cruelty and kindness; a visceral and vital depiction of humans struggling within a system that crushes them under its heel.

Commissioned and produced by Frantic Assembly, in a co-production with Theatre Royal Plymouth, Curve, MAST Mayflower Studios and Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.

Age guidance: 14+ Running time: 2hrs 10mins, including a 20min interval.

PERFORMANCE TIMES 7.30pm, Wed 2pm & 7.30pm Thu 1pm & 7.30pm TICKETS* From £18 15% off for Members ACCESS PERFORMANCES For more information about our Access Performances go to page 32 or visit curveonline.co.uk/access/

FRI 29 SEP – SAT 14 OCT • THEATRE A brand new musical adaptation of the bestselling novel.

At a snow-covered graveside in 1930s Germany, an illiterate girl steals an abandoned book – Liesel Meminger’s first act of book thievery.

As Liesel’s appetite for books grows, so does the Nazi regime and the shadow of death is never far away. When her foster family hides a Jewish boxer in their basement, he teaches Liesel the power of words and together they plant seeds of kindness in a world set against them.

Based on Markus Zusak's novel, The Book Thief is adapted by awardwinning and best-selling author Jodi Picoult (My Sister’s Keeper) and Timothy Allen McDonald (adaptor of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka and James And The Giant Peach) with music and lyrics by Kate Anderson and Elyssa Samsel (Olaf’s Frozen Adventure).

FRI 3 NOV • STUDIO THEATRE Side eYe Productions is coming to Curve in partnership with Kayd to bring Dugsi Dayz, a comedic adaptation of The Breakfast Club, written

by Sabrina Ali. It’s a Saturday afternoon and these four students are determined in keeping it tight-lipped on why they’re in detention.

Meet Salma, Yasmin, Munira and Hani, four girls who see the world and their place in it in radically different ways. When a power cut plunges them into darkness, the girls use folktales to break the ice. The hour they spend together allows them to realize that they have more in common than they thought, so what did they do to deserve detention?

Getting to know one another is the only way to find out.

There will be Q&A after each performance of Dugsi Dayz.

ACCESS PERFORMANCES CAPTIONED PERFORMANCES (CAP)

At Captioned performances, the actors’ spoken words are shown as visible text via two display screens on stage, one on each side, similar to subtitles. The text scrolls at the same speed as the dialogue, making it easy to follow with the action on stage.

SIGNED PERFORMANCES IN BRITISH SIGN LANGUAGE (BSL)

ADDITIONAL SERVICES TOUCH TOURS (TT)

An accompaniment to Audio Described performances, Touch Tours are a tactile tour of the stage, set and costumes, giving audience members who are blind or sight impaired greater access to the performance. Tours usually take place 90 minutes (or earlier) prior to the start of an Audio Described performance.

Our BSL Interpreted performances are presented with British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation. The interpreter will be positioned on either the left or right of the stage throughout the performance, and their position will be confirmed online once available.

INFRA-RED & INDUCTION LOOP HEARING SYSTEMS

AUDIO DESCRIBED PERFORMANCES (AD)

Dog spaces are available upon request; please let us know during the booking process and a seat next to the aisle will be reserved for you. Alternatively, a member of staff can care for your dog during the performance. We can also provide drinking water.

During these performances, audio describers provide a live, verbal commentary on key visual aspects of the show for audience members who identify as Blind or sight impaired. The description is presented via a personal headset (available from the Box Office) and includes an audio introduction to the show before the performance starts.

DEMENTIA FRIENDLY PERFORMANCES (DF) Dementia Friendly performances are tailored to meet the needs of people living with dementia.

They include adaptations to the show, clearer visual markers and signage in the physical environment, and a relaxed attitude to movement and audience responses during the show.

RELAXED PERFORMANCES (RP)

Relaxed Performances are open to anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed performance environment. Audience members can interact with the performance in their own way and, while the theatre doors will close, guests can leave and re-enter the theatre at any time. We also make adaptations to the show, and reserve a quiet space for anyone needing some time out of the performance.

Available in our Theatre and Studio Theatre.

Please ask at the Box Office for a headset.
