IN THE SPOTLIGHT

First staged in Liverpool then London in the early 80s, on the face of it Willy Russell’s Blood Brothers is

one of the more unlikely musicals to become an all-time audience favourite. By the time the show

closed in November 2012 it had clocked up more than 10,000 performances and was the third

longest run in the West End (just behind Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera and ahead

of Cats). The story of the separated twins is both moving, hilarious and gripping and the three-week

season at the Earl Arts Centre is a rare opportunity for audiences to witness this musical theatre

masterpiece with a thrilling cast in an intimate setting where it becomes even more powerful.

IN THE HEIGHTS Launceston College is thrilled to be presenting In the Heights, an exciting musical written by Lin – Manuel Miranda,

who also wrote the smash hit musical Hamilton. The story explores three days in the lives of a New York City Latino

neighbourhood. The score features hip-hop, salsa, merengue and soul music.

Set in New York City’s Washington Heights—a place where the coffee from the bodega is light and sweet, the

windows are always open, and the streets explode with the songs and rhythms of three generations, In The Heights

explores a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams, and pressures, where the biggest struggles

can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

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. Directed by Danny Gibson & presented by Stage Right Youth Theatre is it definitely going to a creepy &

kooky night at the theatre!
