Snow White tells the enchanting story of a young girl whose beauty bewitches a Prince and makes an enemy of her evil Step Mother. The love of seven dwarves keeps her safe until she is woken by her one true love with a kiss. The humble apple takes a battering in this beloved tale but in the end it all turns out Happily Ever After. Oh Yes It Does!
 
Last year Irish actor David Glynn Crowley turned up at the Gaiety’s Prince Charming open auditions and walked away with the lead. David said “its an amazing opportunity for anyone out there who wants to be on the stage. The Gaiety Panto experience was just wonderful. I learnt so much, had so much fun and it has certainly helped me further my career”.
 
The Gaiety Theatre has hosted the annual Christmas Panto each year since 1873 and for the past 139 years has given people of Dublin opera, musicals, dramas, revues, comedy, concerts, dance, festival and pantomime. For many families the Gaiety Panto has become a festive family tradition with generations enjoying the wit, the humour and the laughter of Irelands biggest and best Panto.
  
Snow White will begin a 6 week run from December 4th 2013 - 12th January 2014. Standard tickets are priced at €25 are on sale now. Log onto www.gaietytheatre.ie for more details.

DREAMBOATS & PETTICOATS MEETS DIRTY DANCING IN AN ALL NEW ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MUSICAL


 
 
BILL KENWRIGHT AND LAURIE MANSFIELD PRESENT
A BRAND NEW MUSICAL FULL OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL CLASSICS!
 
From the writers, producers and creators of the huge success that is Dreamboats and Petticoats, Save the Last Dance for Me will take you back through the ‘music and magic’ of the
early 60’s, a time when each passing week brought another Rock ‘n’ Roll classic.
 
Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, Shine on Harvey Moon), featuring the unmistakable music of Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman, and with authentic recreation of the sound of Rock ‘n’ Roll, this nostalgic, feel-good journey will transport you back to music’s golden era as we follow two teenage sisters through the summer of ‘63.
 
For the first time without their parents, the siblings embark on a holiday to the seaside. Full of freedom and high spirits they meet a handsome young American who invites them to a dance at the local U.S. Air force base... But young love and holiday romance is never as simple as it sounds, and the sisters soon realise that while the world around them is still watching itself in black and white, life and love can be much more colourful.

Save The Last Dance For Me

FOLLOWING HIS AWARD NOMINATED PERFORMANCE AS EMCEE
 
BILL KENWRIGHT PRESENTS
 
WILL YOUNG
 
 
IN A MAJOR TOUR OF RUFUS NORRIS’ ACCLAIMED PRODUCTION
OF KANDER AND EBB’S MUSICAL MASTERPIECE
 
CABARET
 
Direct from his award nominated performance as Emcee, internationally celebrated singer/songwriter WILL YOUNG reprises his role in Rufus Norris’ acclaimed production of CABARET. Following a successful West End run, the CABARET tour will open at the GAIETY THEATRE on Tuesday 29th Oct to Saturday 2nd Nov.
 
Ever since winning the inaugural series of Pop Idol in 2002, Will Young has been one of the UK’s most popular and successful music artists and holds the record for the fastest selling debut single in British chart history. Will has also enjoyed a successful acting career which saw him appear alongside Dame Judi Dench in the film Mrs Henderson Presents, and it is the combination of these talents which has led him to star in Cabaret.
 
Since its Broadway premiere in 1966 and the renowned movie version with Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey, Cabaret has won a staggering number of stage and screen awards including 8 Oscars, 7 BAFTAs and 13 Tonys.
 
Cabaret features show-stopping choreography, dazzling costumes and some of the most iconic songs in musical theatre including ‘Money Makes the World Go Round’, ‘Two Ladies’ ‘Maybe This Time’ and of course ‘Cabaret’. The production turns Weimar Berlin of 1931 into a sassy, sizzling haven of decadence. Andat its dark heart are the notorious Emcee and sassy Sally Bowles, who perform nightly at the infamous Kit Kat Klub.
 
Rufus Norris is a multi-award winning theatre, opera and film director whose production of London Road at the National Theatre, where he is associate director, won the Critics Circle Award for Best Musical. Other theatre includes Vernon God Little (Young Vic), Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Broadway), Festen (West End and Broadway) The Country Girl (Apollo) and Afore Night Came (Young Vic, Evening Standard Award). Featuring Tim Roth, Cillian Murphy, Rory Kinnear, and original music by Damon Albarn, his debut feature film Broken opened the prestigious Critics’ Week at the Cannes film festival in 2012. It was produced by Cuba Pictures, BBC Films, Lypsync and Bill Kenwright.
 
Choreography is by the Olivier award winning Javier De Frutos. In 1990, he formed The Javier De Frutos Dance Company. His work includes The Hypochondriac Bird and Affliction of Loneliness. Recently he joined forces with Sadler’s Wells and The Pet Shop Boys to create a brand new dance work based on Hans Christian Andersen’s story, The Most Incredible Thing.

Cabaret The Musical

AGATHA CHRISTIE GO BACK MURDER

Ballet Ireland’s Carmen comes to the Gaiety Theatre 5 & 6 November 2013


 Choreography; Morgann Runacre-Temple
Design; Lorna Ritchie
Lighting; Eamon Fox
Music; Georges Bizet
 
 
Against the backdrop of Bizet's passionate score this scorching story unleashes the creative talents of Ballet Ireland’s choreographer in residence, Morgann Runacre-Temple. 'Carmen' follows the story of a young, naïve soldier Jose, who is bewitched by the beautiful and fiery gypsy, Carmen
 
Obsessed and reckless, Jose turns his back on respectable life to be with her. But Carmen, like love, is a bird that cannot be tamed and Jose's desire to posses her eventually destroys them both.
This age old story, as relevant today as ever, will be re-told in a modern setting. Runacre-Temple’s up to date style “gets it”, according to the Irish Times, stretching classical ballet to new heights.
Passion, drama and colour in abundance! Ballet Ireland's talented dancers will sizzle in this fantastic new ballet.
Bizet's music is pure dance.
Don’t miss this fabulous new production for 2013.
