Yes I realise this is just another Charity show to a lot of you but please try and support us if you can, I know finances are tight at the moment and that every cause is a worthy one, but mental health issues, Depression, BPD etc affect almost everyone at some point in their lives. Please come and see what promises to be a very very special show.

What sort of show I hear you shout at your computer screens, well the computer screen will not answer you but I can... BURLESQUE!!!! Yes nothing like the film. hahaha, Sure Christina can sing (well some people think so) but real burlesque is not about nightclubs and bars its about the girls that perform and the reasons they do it. Some girls do it to build self confidence, some girls do it for expression, some do it just because they want to show the world they dont care who judges them for what they choose to do... Whatever the reason they are doing it, most of all they are doing it for you guys, the Audience, They do it for the cheers & the whistles and the happiness it can give... Part of that happiness is giving this to charity, every performer has waived their usual fees to support this.

We have some of the most up and coming local talent, we have one of the HOTTEST acts you will ever see, one of the FUNNIEST acts bar none.

Birmingham Royal Ballet - Far from the Madding Crowd, 20 Jun 2012 - 23 Jun 2012

20 Jun 2012 - 23 Jun 2012 at Birmingham Hippodrome

Passions run out of control in this balletic adaption of Thomas Hardy’s famous novel by David Bintley, Company Director and award-winning creator of the Company’s huge Christmas hit, Cinderella. An enrapturing story of lust, deceit and murder, with one woman at the centre of it all.

Bathsheba Everdene sends ripples through the lives of three men as they compete for her love. The dependable farm-hand Gabriel Oak, the dignified but obsessive William Boldwood and the dashing but deceitful Sergeant Francis Troy, all vie for the heart of the woman they love… Bathsheba’s complex relationships with all three leads one to death, one to madness and the other to true love.

Adorned in stunningly detailed period costumes and sets by designer Hayden Griffin, and with an evocative score by Paul Reade, composer of the Company’s Hobson’s Choice, Far from the Madding Crowd makes a very welcome return to the stage. If you are a fan of the worlds of Gone with the Wind, Cranford or The Forsyte Saga, this is a ballet for you.

Birmingham Royal Ballet - Summer Celebration, 27 Jun 2012 - 30 Jun 2012

Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:38:07 +0000

27 Jun 2012 - 30 Jun 2012 at Birmingham Hippodrome

All aboard for the roaring 20s! The Grand Tour sees our heroine, a doughty American spinster, embarking for Europe. She can’t believe her luck when she finds herself on board with a feast of famous faces. However, it turns out that Noël Coward, Gertrude Stein and George Bernard Shaw, to name but a few, aren’t the friendliest of shipmates. Choreographer of many films and hit Broadway shows, American Joe Layton creates a genuinely funny take on the eccentric celebrities of the 1920s. Accompanied by unique orchestral renditions of Noël Coward songs, the critically acclaimed The Grand Tour makes a long-overdue return to the stage.

Faster, Higher, Stronger is a brand-new ballet from the award-winning team behind E=mc². After winning the last-ever South Bank Show Dance award in 2009 with E=mc², Company Director David Bintley embarks on a second collaboration with renowned Australian composer Matthew Hindson. This ballet of speed, power and athleticism will be a fitting creation for the leadup to London 2012.

The course of true love never did run smooth... certainly not in Frederick Ashton’s The Dream where a group mischievous fairies are involved! Having argued with beautiful Titania, Oberon, king of the fairies, seeks a suitable revenge. He orders Puck to transform a dopey local peasant into a donkey and cause Titania to fall in love with it. This he does, but things soon get out of hand – the over-use of a love potion hilariously embroils four poor mortals in the fairies’ games. Mendelssohn’s tuneful and instantly recognisable music becomes the basis for Ashton’s elfin comedy, as he shows his mastery of dance, theatre and humour.
