WORLD CLASS ENTERTAINMENT FOR A WORLD CLASS CITY Here at the Theatre Royal we pride ourselves on our diverse programme and this forthcoming season is one of the most varied and interesting yet. We begin in November with the unmissable production of West Side Story, a worldwide sell-out and a deserving recipient of the Scotland’s Broadway brand. Scotland’s Broadway brings the very best Ambassador Theatre Group productions to Glasgow, helping make the city one of the most cosmopolitan in Europe and a top destination for tourists. One other show carries the prestigious title: the recent West End and Broadway production of the brilliant comedy Boeing Boeing, visiting in March. The multi award-winning West End production of Cabaret starring Samantha Barks and Wayne Sleep opens at the end of March and Singin’ in the Rain, another top-class production of an iconic title, comes to the Theatre Royal in September. We also welcome our usual range of dance, opera, drama, comedy, children’s events and an ice show. Dance highlights are Scottish Ballet’s Christmas production of The Sleeping Beauty, the return of the hugely popular community dance festival Go Dance, the hilarious Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo and the Richard Alston Dance Company. Scottish Ballet is of course not the only national company represented in the season: Scottish Opera presents La Traviata, Così fan Tutte and Manon whilst the National Theatre of Scotland joins forces with Dundee Rep to bring their superb production of Ibsen’s Peer Gynt to Glasgow.

EXHILARATING DANCE BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND
LEGENDARY CHILLING THRILLER WINNER OF 19 MAJOR AWARDS ‘Stunning. Blazingly original stage imagery. Dark and gleaming and elegant’ New York Times
RICHARD ALSTON DANCE COMPANY Richard Alston, who this season celebrates the 40th anniversary of his first choreography, is widely recognised as Britain’s most musical choreographer - every step he makes is a response to a particular piece of music. The importance Alston attaches to music gives his work a unique combination of accessibility and depth. The Alston company’s 2009 appearances at the Theatre Royal, following their critically acclaimed visit in April 08, include two of Alston’s most explosive works. Blow Over is performed to Philip Glass’s exhilarating Songs From Liquid Days with lyrics by Suzanne Vega and Paul Simon. This isn’t Glass in cool, serene mood, oh no - this is music of mesmerising accumulative power, and the dancers have to fly to keep up, in great leaping arcs of energy. Blow Over was greeted by standing ovations and five star reviews at its recent World Premiere. Also in the programme, a revival of Alston’s seminal Movements From Petrushka, to Stravinsky’s own piano arrangement of his music played live on stage by the remarkable young pianist Jason Ridgway. 10

When Boeing-Boeing took off to a roar of laughter in London’s West End in 2007, the Daily Telegraph called it ‘the funniest show in London’. Directed by Olivier Award-winner Matthew Warchus, this hysterical production has since taken Broadway by storm. Audiences and critics have been unbuckling their seatbelts and rolling in the aisles for this first-class Tony Award-winning comedy (Best Revival 2008). Bernard, a successful architect living in Paris, thinks he can easily cope with his three air-hostess fiancées. It’s all a question of timetables and a reliable, long-suffering housekeeper. But when his long lost cousin Robert arrives, things start to get turbulent! Schedules change, flights are delayed and a new turbo-charged Boeing aircraft is introduced: chaos ensues in this whirl of mayhem and matchmaking.
