Going on sale this month at Norwich Theatre, there is a musical based on a cult classic, a vintage favourite, some Christmas treats and more comedians than you can wish for. So, pick your shows and grab your friends, this is going to be fetch.
You can meet the plastics next year when Mean Girls (13 – 17 Oct 26) visits Norwich Theatre Royal. Regina, Gretchen and Karen rule North Shore High and will burn anyone who gets in their way. Home-schooled Cady Heron may think she knows a thing or two about survival of the fittest thanks to her zoologist parents, but high school is a whole new level of savage. Expect iconic characters, razor-sharp wit, and killer songs.
You’re invited to the musical equivalent of the finest vintage champagne with Top Hat at Norwich Theatre Royal (24 – 28 Mar 26). When Broadway star Jerry Travers arrives in London to open a new show, he crosses paths with model Dale Tremont. Instantly smitten, Jerry vows to abandon his bachelor life to win her, but the path of true love never does run smooth. Top Hat is a heady romantic cocktail laced with sparklingly witty dialogue, stunning choreography, lavish sets, gorgeous costumes and includes some of Hollywood’s greatest songs.
Dance fans must check out Teaċ Daṁsa / Michael Keegan Dolan MÁM (13 & 14 Feb 26). MÁM sees 12 fearless dancers summon a whirlwind of myth and magic, moved by the collaborative music making of Irish traditional concertina player Cormac Begley and European classical contemporary collective s t a r g a z e, performed live on stage.
If you fancy a laugh, Norwich Theatre is really the place to be. Catch Chris McCausland (1 Mar 26) when he stops off at Norwich Theatre Royal with his masterclass in comedy, and don’t miss star of King Gary Tom Davies (12 Sep) and his observations on life’s hot topics at Norwich Theatre Royal.
The comedy continues at Norwich Theatre Playhouse with a whole host of stand up comedians for your delight including; Chloe Petts (23 Jan 26), Judi Love (8 Feb 26), Simon Evans (9 & 10 Feb 26), Ray O’Leary (25 Feb 26), Vittorio Angelone (8 Mar 26), Gary Meikle (20 Mar 26), Scott Bennett (17 Jun 26) and Lucy Porter (5 Sep 26).
The funny doesn’t stop there with Rob Rouse (11 Apr 26) heading to Norwich Theatre Stage Two with a relentlessly funny and daft evening of comedy that is full of manic energy and a barrage of brilliant one-liners. Also at Norwich Theatre Stage Two, there is a new Queer coming-of-age comedy Hasbian (12 Oct 25) and a double bill of gig theatre based on two reimagined myths, HALF MAN || HALF BULL a REWRITES production (5 & 6 Nov 25).
With Christmas just five months away, the lineup of festive treats to wrap up your Christmas season. For something a little adult (and dare we say it naughty), head to Norwich Theatre Playhouse for The Liar, The B*tch and The Wardrobe (10 – 20 Dec 25). With no prospects of climbing the property ladder, the imminent return of James Cordon to the UK and the brink of World War III on the horizon, two evacuees flee London and escape to the country for a simpler life. All seems to be going to plan until a trip back in the closet, transports them both to an unknown land. They embark on a raucous adventure meeting ‘almost’ recognisable characters.
Also at Norwich Theatre Playhouse, join A Winter Union (1 Dec 25) for a folk Christmas party and their songs from Sooner After Solstice, cabaret superstar Velma Celli (5 Dec 25) is bringing the campest Christmas special this side of Lapland, Joe Ringer (23 Dec 25) invites you to step into Christmas with his 10-piece band and all your festive favourites. Experience the mischief with your little ones with The Cat in the Hat (12 – 21 Dec 25). Based on the much-loved book by Dr Seuss, The Cat in the Hat is a lively and engaging first theatre experience for young children aged 3+.
