The Regent Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent has unveiled an impressive line up of shows for the 2011 Spring Season.
Leading the charge is the show that everyone has been waiting for -
Andrew Lloyd Webber,
David Ian and The Really Useful Group's lavish production of Roger and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music starring
Jason Donovan as Captain Von Trapp.
This critically acclaimed production tells the story of the Von Trapp family's flight across the mountains with its unforgettable score including ‘Edelweisse', ‘My Favorite Things', ‘Do-Re-Mi', ‘Climb Ev'ry Mountain' and the title song ‘The Sound of Music'.
Matthew Bourne returns with a startling brand new production, Cinderella. Bourne's unique take on Cinderella is a thrilling and evocative journey through London during the Second World War. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of The Blitz.
There's the classic R.C. Sherriff First World War drama, Journey's End, based on the author's own experience of the Front and life in the trenches. It celebrates humour and courage in the face of certain tragedy. A donation from each ticket sold for Journey's End will be made to the Poppy Appeal - supporting the British Legion.
