The final few tickets remain for this supernatural spectacular. West End phenomenon 2:22 A Ghost Story is heading to Newcastle Theatre Royal this month. Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam doesn’t believe her. They argue with their dinner guests Lauren and Ben and decide to stay up until 2:22 to see if there really is a ghost. This play became London’s must-see theatre event so we’ve got high hopes! Read our interview with the play’s writer Danny Robins, who grew up in Newcastle, here

Following two smash hit West End seasons, this comedy-rock musical is based on the cult classic 1989 film starring Winona Ryder. Westerberg High's Veronica Sawyer is just another nobody until she joins the Heathers (the Mean Girls of the 80s).

The Full Monty

17TH–21ST OCTOBER

Based on the 1997 smash-hit film, this new production is part comedy, part heartbreak. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the film, The Full Monty sees a group of lads trying to regain their dignity and pride. Gaz and his mates are determined to fight back and they’ll bare a little more than they thought they would. It’s starring Eastenders’ Danny Hatchard and The X Factor’s Jake Quickenden.

Everybody's Talking About Jamie

14TH–19TH NOVEMBER
Leeds Grand Theatre
leedsheritagetheatres.com
After a record-breaking three-year West End residency this smash-hit and critically-acclaimed musical is proving just as popular on its return to Leeds Grand Theatre. Jamie is 16 and lives on a council estate in Sheffield. He doesn’t quite fit in, in fact he really stands out, but supported by his mum and his friends, Jamie beats the bullies and steps into the spotlight. Funny and feel good, this show also features an all-star cast with Dancing on Ice’s Hayley Tamaddon and Coronation Street’s Shobna Gulati.
