NATIVITY! THE MUSICAL AT LEEDS GRAND THEATRE FOR CHRISTMAS
Leeds Grand Theatre is delighted to announce that it will host the World Premiere tour of Nativity! The Musical for its Christmas season this year. The new musical will take to the stage from December 20th to January 6th.
Ian Sime, General Manager, said: “This is the production’s first outing and we have got it at Christmas; it could not be more perfect for us.”
The Nativity! film series is one of the most popular UK Christmas film franchises of recent years and its Bafta Award-winning writer and director, Debbie Issit, is also behind the stage production.
She said of this week’s cast announcement: “I am absolutely delighted to be working with this incredibly talented and hilariously funny musical theatre cast who are going to be brilliant in Nativity! The Musical. It truly will be an emotionally soaring, feel good experience with beautiful singing and amazing choreography.”
Daniel Boys (The Boys in the Band, Avenue Q, Spamalot) will play Paul Maddens, Sarah Earnshaw (Wicked, Scrooge, Spamalot) is Jennifer Lore and Simon Lipkin (Avenue Q, Rock of Ages, Guys and Dolls) is Mr Poppy.
Every child in every school has one Christmas wish, to star in a Nativity, and at St Bernadette’s School they’ve decided to mount a musical version; Mr Maddens and his crazy assistant Mr Poppy struggle with hilarious children, unruly animals and a whole lot of sparkle and shine to make everyone’s Christmas wish come true.
Featuring the favourite sing-a-long songs from the smash-hit films including Sparkle and Shine, Nazareth and One Night One Moment Nativity! The Musical promises to be the perfect feel-good Christmas comedy for all the family.
Nativity! The Musical is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Wednesday December 20th 2017 to
Saturday 6th January 2018
Tickets are on sale now priced from £20.50 to £46
