The sensational line up at Norwich Theatre Royal grows with the new stage phenomenon 2:22 A Ghost Story (10 – 14 Oct). This chilling show has taken the West End by storm and tells the story of Jenny, who believes her new home is haunted. Her husband isn’t having any of it, so they stay up until 2:22. Will you dare to watch it? One of the greatest musicals from the golden age of musicals, The King and I (14 – 18 Nov), heads to the Royal, featuring a beautiful score including Whistle a Happy Tune and Shall We Dance. Don’t miss The Rocky Horror Show (11 – 16 Sep), and you will want to don your ruby slippers when The Wizard of Oz lands in Norwich in in 2024 (27 Feb – 3 Mar 24).
The Birds and the Bees (1-3 Jun) returns home to Norwich Theatre after its triumphant tour around East Anglia. This time the light-hearted comedy romp about relationships, turkeys and bees stars Helen Lederer (Absolutely Fabulous, Bottom and French & Saunders) and Michael Starke, known and loved from his role as Sinbad in Brookside plus The Royal and Benidorm and countless major leads on stage including Hairspray and Waitress.

Ballet Black (20 Oct), a ballet company dedicated to diversifying the ballet industry, will be heading to Norwich Theatre Royal with award-winning choreographers Will Tuckett and Mthuthuzeli November in a double bill of new and original work. The all-male youth dance group Legacy Dance Company UK comes to Norwich Theatre Playhouse with a brand new show that explores the true meaning of Brotherhood (18 Jun) and how having each other’s backs means everything.
Carlos Acosta CBE, one of the greatest modern-day stars of the dance world, brings his trail-blazing and Olivier Award-nominated Cuban company Acosta Danza to Norwich Theatre Playhouse between 18 – 20 May. Norwich Theatre & Valid Productions presents Acosta Danza Up Close, a breathtaking evening of dance that features a series of solos and duets specially curated by Carlos himself.
