AUGUST

If you missed the terrific JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at the REGENT'S PARK OPEN AIR THEATRE in 2016, here’s your chance to see it this year! Or to go back again…and again…

SEPTEMBER

Cutloose as FOOTLOOSE dances into the PEACOCK THEATRE for a limited run.

OCTOBER

Get very excited...there's only a month to wait until HAMILTON hits London...

NOVEMBER

And the wait is over! You’ve made it to the HAMILTON opening and seen lots of great musicals on the way!

Now you can feel very smug if you’ve managed to get a ticket for HAMILTON - even if you need to wait several months before you actually see it!

To whet your appetite, here’s the original 2015 Public Theater trailer…

So how do you fill the coming months if you're not seeing HAMILTON until next June? First, get stuck into December's panto season then see what your #StageFaves are all up to in 2018!

Make this year your #StageFaves #YearofTheatre!
