University of Chichester Musical Theatre Performance Company

THE ADDAMS FAMILY: THE MUSICAL The Musical Theatre Performance Company is very proud to present this devilishly dark and daring musical comedy. Brought to you by the same team that produced The Wedding Singer and Little Women in their 2017/18 season.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.

Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES

By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Adapted by Steven Canny and John Nicholson for ‘Peepolykus’ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s most celebrated Sherlock Holmes adventure gets a gloriously funny makeover.

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson must unravel the mysteries surrounding his death and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is cheeky, fast-paced and offers farcical surprises, brilliant theatrical invention, and a new twist on the greatest detective of all time.

THE BLUES BAND 40 Years and back for more!

University of Chichester Musical Theatre Arts and Charity Development Joint Honours Company

COPACABANA

2019 sees The Blues Band Celebrate their 40th year together.

Music by Barry Manilow, Lyrics by Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman, Book by Barry Manilow, Jack Feldman and Bruce Sussman.

Paul Jones, Dave Kelly, Tom McGuinness, Rob Townsend and Gary Fletcher.

After the success of Nunsense, the Musical Theatre and Arts Development students are throwing off their habits and sliding on feather headpieces to raise funds for your local sight-loss charity 4Sight Vision Support.

Many of the Blues Band’s 21st century fans weren’t even born when these five virtuosos, already music industry veterans, decided to fly in the face of musical fashion in 1979 and form a band ‘just to play the blues’. No one could have predicted that, 40 years on, they’d still be dazzling audiences with their showmanship and virtuosity. About 20 albums and thousands of gigs later, they’ve earned a reputation around the world as one of the finest exponents of the blues tradition in all its forms. With this line-up, it’s hardly surprising.

Whilst Letitia will always be remembered for her breath-taking performances on series four of The Voice, she has gone on to forge an enviable reputation as one of the most passionate and hardworking soul singers around.

Aretha’s sad passing has inspired Letitia and her outstanding backing band to attempt the seemingly impossible. Very few singers could ever do justice to the Aretha Franklin songbook… but Letitia George manages to capture the very spirit!

CIRQUE ENCHANTMENT University of Chichester Musical Theatre Tour Company

9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL is about to get down to business with a rip-roaring production by Chichester’s celebrated Tour Company. The smash-hit musical features a book by the iconic movie’s original screenwriter Patricia Resnick and an Oscar, Grammy and Tony award-nominated score by the Queen of Country herself, Dolly Parton.

The show tells the story of Doralee, Violet and Judy – three workmates pushed to boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss. Concocting a plan to kidnap and turn the tables on their despicable supervisor, will the girls manage to reform their office – or will events unravel when the CEO pays an unexpected visit?

Inspired by the cult film this hilarious new touring production is about teaming up, standing up and taking care of business!

MARK STEEL : EVERY LITTLE THING’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT A few years ago, it seemed unlikely that the UK would vote to leave the EU; we had a reasonable opposition to the Tory Government; Donald Trump was a buffoon who surely wasn’t going to beat Hillary Clinton and Mark was living the married suburban ideal, since then it’s all gone to absolute shit! But don’t worry as Mark thinks Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright.

Mark’s sell-out show Who Do I Think I Am, revealed his natural father was a world backgammon champion. Now the star of Radio 4’s Mark Steel’s in Town, and newspaper columnist of the year is touring a show which is guaranteed to make the world seem even more mental than it is.
