Tuesday - Saturday 7:30pm, Wednesday & Thursday 2pm Saturday 2.30pm Winner of 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical, New York Drama Critics Circle Award for a Musical, 2 Outer Critics Circle Awards and a Drama Desk Award, Hello, Dolly! is the biggest show stopper in the history of musical theatre. "And what do you do for a living, Mrs. Levi?" asks Ambrose Kemper in the first scene of this hit musical comedy. "Some people paint, some sew...I meddle," replies Dolly. And we are off on a whirlwind race around New York at the turn of the twentieth century, as we follow the adventures of America's most beloved matchmaker! Anita Dobson stars as the irresistible Dolly Levi, alongside Darren Day, David McAlister and Louise English. Hello, Dolly! is full of memorable songs including Put On Your Sunday Clothes, Ribbons Down My Back, Before the Parade Passes By, Hello, Dolly!, It Only Takes a Moment and So Long, Dearie. Hello, Dolly! stormed the Broadway stage for 2844 performances and played for nearly three years in the West End - now it’s back and, with a company of over forty and live orchestra, Hello, Dolly! is the show-stopping ‘perfect match’ for every musical fan.

Breaking the Silence - 07:45PM 23/05/2008
location - Nottingham Playhouse Theatre
Caught up in the maelstrom of post-revolutionary Russia, the Pesiakoff family lose their palatial Moscow home and are re-accommodated in a dilapidated imperial train, complete with their maid. Assigned the position of telephone inspector, Nikolai, unflappable and immaculate in his elegant English suit, soon neglects his duties for a private ambition: to be the first man in the world to record sound on film. We invite you to join this exuberant family as they clatter across the Soviet Union, striving to succeed and survive in a world with a dangerous and uncertain future. Stephen Poliakoff is widely regarded as one of the finest playwrights of his generation and Britain's foremost screenwriter. Inspired by the true history of his family, and originally commissioned by the RSC, this is the first major staging of the play in over twenty years. "One of the most thrillingly individual works of the last decade." The Sunday Times Director Esther Richardson Designer Jamie Vartan
