Birmingham Hippodrome has announced a line-up of new productions including brand-new festive family musical The Jingleclaw, the first new musical to be produced by the Hippodrome. A stellar line up of West End and Broadway smash-hit musicals including & Juliet, Chitty Chitty Bang and Only Fools and Horses – The Musical will also come to the theatre in 2025.
The sell-out new British musical CABLE STREET comes to Southwark Playhouse ELEPHANT on Friday 6 September to Thursday 10 October 2024 - for just 42 performances!
Birmingham Hippodrome’s New Musical Theatre department have announced their first full production The Jingleclaw, a festive family musical created for 3–7 year olds.
To say Cable Street has been highly anticipated would be a gross understatement: it’s basically unheard of for a new, Off West End musical to completely sell out its run before a single review has been published. Nevertheless, this little show that could is absolutely deserving of its success, and seems to be destined for great things.
