New Season Announced at Theatr Clwyd
Theatr Clwyd this week announces its spring season. The Flintshire venue will once again be providing audiences with a mixture of musicals, comedy, drama, music, dance and family fun. The line up includes a mixture of Theatr Clwyd home grown shows and touring productions, with the chance to see shows that had been cancelled due to the pandemic.
Theatr Clwyd is delighted to announce the return of the co-production Milky Peaks (1-22 April). Following the cancellation of this production, a week before it was due to open in 2020, this ferocious musical comedy returns as a highlight in the 2022 season.
Milky Peaks: the warmest welcome in the cold bosom of
Snowdonia. However, under the gleaming pebble-dash, strange forces are rising:
both political and supernatural. Can three lost souls and a shabby drag queen
save the community’s heart?
Milky Peaks reunites writer Seiriol Davies with collaborators Matthew Blake, Alex Swift, Dylan Townley and Áine Flanagan Productions who co-created the critically acclaimed How to Win Against History.
This will be one of the first Theatr Clwyd made productions performed in The Mix. The Mix will form part of the temporary village that will host many productions whilst the venue undergoes its redevelopment.
The venue will also welcome a vibrant array of touring productions.
Musicals available this spring include the Queens themselves
in Six (22-26 Feb). This production returns to the venue
following cancellation due to the pandemic. From Tudor Queens to pop
princesses, the wives of Henry VIII tell their side of the story in this
musical phenomenon. Willy Russell’s tragic tale Blood Brothers
(2-7 May) follows the story of twins separated at birth. The Rise and
Fall of Little Voice (18-23 Apr) stars Shobna Gulati (Coronation
Street), Ian Kelsey (Emmerdale) and two-time Drama Desk Award Nominee Christina
Bianco. This Northern fairy-tale explores small-town dreams and finding your
voice. The show includes power ballads by Judy Garland and Shirly Bassey.
Prepare to be dazzled by Wales’ finest musical theatre
voices Welsh Of The West End (4-5 Feb) as they perform musical
theatre favourites. National Dance Company Wales return with a trio of dance
that will reconnect us to our theatre and ourselves, One Another
(10-11 May)
London Classic Theatre bring Same Time, Next Year (8-12
Feb) a comedy about parenthood and marriage made famous by the Oscar nominated
film. The Three Musketeers, A Comedy Adventure (1-5 Mar) roar
into the venue featuring heroics, raucous romances and bonkers fun. Northern
Broadsides bring Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It (11-16 Apr)
this spring starring 12 Northern actors.
Fans of thrillers and drama will not want to miss the world première
of The Da Vinci Code (14-19 Feb) starring Nigel Harman (EastEnders)
and Danny John-Jules (Red Dwarf). The Legend of Sleepy Hollow a thrilling new
Gothic adaptation for the stage starring Wendi Peters (Coronation
Street) and Bill Ward (Emmerdale). Patrick Duffy (Dallas), Linda Purl
(Happy Days) and Gray O’Brien (Coronation Street) star in Catch Me If You
Can, a comedy thriller where nothing is as it seems and no one is as
they appear.
Comedian Mark Watson brings his
tour, This Can’t Be It (30 Jan). Rhod Gilbert’s raw
personal comedy The Book of John (24 June) has currently sold out,
but you can add your name to the waiting list.
