Princesse Edmond de Polignac requests the pleasure of your company…

The Paris salon was a centre of hedonistic social and artistic life and none was finer than the one run by Winnaretta Singer, heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune and a grand patron of the arts. Yet this formidable and enigmatic woman, who was a talented musician and artist, did not merely host performances for entertainment and kudos. Her energies transformed the salon into a crucial creative force that became the birthplace of pioneering music by Fauré, Debussy, Stravinsky and many others.

We are delighted to welcome actress Maggie Steed who will, in the guise of Winnaretta, introduce this exclusive world inhabited by Proust, Diaghilev, Isadora Duncan, Jean Cocteau, Virginia Woolf, Colette and many others.

Music in the Round is very grateful to Sheffield Theatres for providing the set and costume for this performance.

‘I picked Charlotte up and lifted her high up, high up, and then down and up. Do you remember how she laughed?’

‘Everyone laughed’

After a seven year affair, their final meeting brings to light the destructiveness of their betrayal and how a single moment in time would change the lives of everyone around them forever.

Reviews: ‘a masterclass in what regional theatre can achieve at its best’ **** *The Telegraph*

Running Time: Approximately 2 hours 5 mins including 20min interval

Alan Bennett has a very unusual neighbour. Parked at the bottom of his garden is a van. With a lady in it.

The lady in the van is Miss Shepherd. Alan knows very little about her. She used to drive ambulances in the war, might have been a nun, sells pencils and pamphlets and has an unexplained aversion to piano music. But somehow she lives in the playwright’s garden and has done for years.

Starring Nichola McAuliffe who played Sheila Sabatini in ITV’s Surgical Spirit and who won an Olivier Award for her role in Kiss Me Kate (RSC), The Lady in the Van was written by Alan Bennett, one of the nation’s best-loved playwrights. His plays include The History Boys, Talking Heads and The Madness of George III.

Reviews: _‘The future of British theatre’_ ,*The Times*

How much is beauty worth? What will people pay for an air guitar? Can I have a glass of milk?

These urgent questions and others are answered in The Price of Everything, a performance lecture about value.

Daniel Bye’s whistlestop tour of bizarre facts and impassioned arguments is occasionally shambolic and often biased – but always a joy to watch.

Comic, provocative, and possibly a tiny bit sad, this show is a must if you’ve ever wondered about the difference between the price of an object and its value.

And you get a free glass of milk.

The girls are back! One of BBC TVs most popular and fondly-remembered sitcoms comes to the stage with all three of its original leading cast members: Pauline Quirke, Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph.

Birds of a Feather ran on BBC One for nearly ten years throughout the 1990s, becoming a massive hit right from the word go. It remains not only a classic comedy but also, as a female-centred long-running series, a truly rare gem.

Now the three stars of the TV series are reunited on stage to recreate their adored characters: sisters Sharon Theodopolopoudos and Tracy Stubbs and their sex-mad neighbour, Dorien Green, in a brand-new show created especially for the theatre by The Comedy Theatre Company, producers of the highly-successful tour of Victoria Woods dinnerladies.

Have you ever been in love with someone who loved somebody else? As Shakespeare says, ‘The course of true love never did run smooth’. ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ is a story of unrequited love, jealous lovers and love potions that will capture your imagination.

Theseus, Duke of Athens, is to marry Hippolyta on the night of the new moon. Egeus’ daughter, Hermia, refuses to marry Demetrius, the fiancé chosen by her father, because she is in love with Lysander. Hermia and Lysander plan to run away but Helena, who is in love with Demetrius, finds out about it and tells him, hoping that she might win back his love..

At the same time, King and Queen of the fairies, Oberon and Titania, are arguing over Titania’s adopted child. Oberon’s attempt to use magic to win back Titania’s attention sets a chain of events in motion, including errors and misunderstandings.

But will true love triumph in the end?

Although the play was written over four hundred years ago, High Storrs School’s production will bring a thoroughly modern twist to it, with some fantastic dancing routines and a 1970s setting. High Storrs School is renowned for its professional and highly talented students, so you can expect to see some superb dance and drama on stage. A show not to be missed!

Former Housemartin and Beautiful South main man Paul Heaton will celebrate his 50th birthday by performing his acclaimed Soul Opera The 8th, as well as some of his most well-known and loved songs from his back catalogue in this sensational performance.

The 8th is one of the longest songs ever written and was one of the hits of last year’s Manchester International Festival.

The performance of this electrifying musical will then be followed by a set of some of Paul’s Greatest Hits for a tune packed journey through his back catalogue featuring songs from his Beautiful South, Housemartins and solo career.

‘Murder, greed, corruption, exploitation, adultery and treachery…all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts’. So begins the international award-winning musical, Chicago.

Based on real life events back in the roaring 1920s, nightclub singer Roxie Hart shoots her lover and, together with Cell Block rival, double-murderess Velma Kelly, fights to keep herself from death row with the help of smooth talking lawyer, Billy Flynn.

Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, Chicago’s sexy, sassy score includes All That Jazz and Razzle Dazzle. With six Tony, two Olivier, one Grammy, two Bafta and six Academy Awards, Chicago truly is ‘The sharpest, slickest show on the block’ The Times.

It would be a crime to miss it.

Julian Clary is looking for love and he’s not leaving town empty handed…

Master of camp, Julian Clary, is scouring the land in search of love. He’s promised to leave no straight unturned. ‘Because I’m still considered to be quite a catch and because your town is noted for its heterosexuals on the cusp, there’s bound to be stiff competition’, says Julian. ‘Therefore I’ll be hosting ruthless elimination games. You can be sure of one thing. By the end of the evening, we’ll all be celebrating my new partnership.’

A glass of Blue Nun may be available to those who make an effort or anyone named Jason. But please bring your own confetti.
