PERFECT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

The Liverpool Empire Youth Theatre returns

with the hilarious Sister Act, the feel-amazing

musical comedy perfect for the whole family.

Featuring original music by Tony® and 8-time

Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty

and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), Sister Act

tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier, a

wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn

when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide

her in the last place anyone would think to look -

a convent! Under the suspicious watch of Mother

Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find

their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her

own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power

of friendship, Sister Act is reason to rejoice!

Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Glenn Slater

Book by Cheri Steinkellner & Bill Steinkellner

Additional book material by Douglas Carter Beane

This is a non-professional production.

THE SPLASH HIT MUSICAL COMES TO LIVERPOOL!

Direct from the West End, this superbly enjoyable production of

Singin’ in the Rain is a smash hit with critics and audiences alike.

It tells the story of the first Hollywood musical, when the silver screen

found its voice and left silent movies - and some of its stars - behind.

This spectacular show is packed full of the charm, romance, comedy

and tinseltown glamour of one the world’s best loved movies and

features all the songs from the glorious MGM score including

Good Morning, Make ’em Laugh, Moses Supposes and the

classic Singin’ in the Rain.

Featuring screen star Maxwell Caulfield as studio boss R F Simpson

and Coronation Street favourite Vicky Binns as the ‘uniquely voiced’

starlet Lina Lamont, high energy choreography and sumptuous

set design (including 12,000 litres of water!), Singin’ in the Rain

showers you with everything you could wish for in a hit musical.

The National Theatre’s award-winning comedy One Man, Two

Guvnors, embarks on its biggest-ever tour of the UK and Ireland

from May 2014. Now seen by over 1 million people worldwide, this

internationally acclaimed smash-hit is a glorious celebration of

British comedy - a unique, laugh-out-loud mix of satire, songs,

slapstick and glittering one-liners.

Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder

to Roscoe Crabbe. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own

dead brother - who’s been killed by her boyfriend Stanley Stubbers.

Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a job

with one Stanley Stubbers - but to prevent discovery, he must

keep his two guvnors apart. Simple.

Directed by Nick Hytner and Written by Richard Bean

steelworkers took the world by storm. Now, they’re back.

back to Sheffield where it all started to rediscover the six men,

the women, the heartache and the hilarity of a city on the dole.

With songs from the film by Donna Summer, Hot Chocolate

and Tom Jones, The Full Monty is coming to Liverpool

directly from London’s glittering West End.

Winner of 90 international awards, Wicked has been casting its

magical spell over audiences across the world for a decade and

continues to break records at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre,

In a brilliantly witty re-imagining of the stories and characters

friendship between two sorcery students. Their extraordinary

adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies

as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

This record-breaking national tour, which has won five-star rave

reviews, features thrilling technical wizardy, stunning costumes

and show-stopping songs.

Wicked is an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages.
