Set in the 1930s, Bobby Child is a talented song & dance man, longing for a life in the theatre. He's sent away on business by his domineering mother to the run-down, gold mining town of Deadrock, Nevada to foreclose the Gaiety Theatre. Once there, despite already having a fiancée, he falls in love with the feisty Polly, daughter of the theatre owner. Failing to impress her, he dreams up the idea to put on a magnificent show to raise money for the theatre in order to save it.RThe elaborate plot involves Bobby impersonating Bela Zangler (an established New York producer) & inviting the glamorous dancing follies to support his cast of singing, dancing cowboys. All this goes awry when no-one comes to see the show on opening night. Then Bobby's fiancée, Irene, turns up followed by the real Zangler. Bobby confesses to Polly who can't forgive his deceit. The path of true love rarely runs smoothly, but the town is reinvigorated, the theatre is saved, and eventually the two fall in love.
East Norfolk Operatic Society

Venue: Maddermarket Theatre
Tickets: All £15 with Friday night only student rate £10
6th May 2020 to 9th May 2020
Ruddigore is Gilbert and Sullivan's take on all things Gothic: a satire on Victorian melodrama with bad baronets, a witch's curse, 'professional' bridesmaids, and a picture gallery that comes to life. Sullivan's sparkling music is complemented by Gilbert's witty text, making it one of the most attractive of their operettas. So, join us, as we journey from the picturesque Cornish village of Rederring to the haunted castle of Ruddigore for the Ghosts' High Noon.

The critically-acclaimed and award-winning Off-West End cult musical is back! Re-written and re-booted reflecting today's evolving LGBTQIA+ community. Returning to London for a European Premiere just in time for Pride in London and a strictly limited run!
Welcome to Hearstville, USA. A wholesome, patriotic town where everyone is LGBTQIA+ and the straight people are the unfortunate subjects of "heterophobia." The big-man-on-campus is the chess champion and the captain of the football team is only made popular by being cast in the school musical. The students write a controversial show called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" about straight people in the military, which becomes the catalyst for a young man and woman to fall in love. Knowing their love is forbidden, this straight couple try to hide their love until a spontaneous show of affection lets the cat out of the bag. Enter Zanna, a magical pangender hall monitor (and coolest person in school). Will Zanna be able to use his magic to help his friends find respect, loyalty, acceptance and love?
Those who remember the original Zanna, Don't! will find this new Rebooted version has the same basic story, with all the original characters but with new dialogue, four new songs and ten original songs substantially revised. This sparkling new Zanna has only had one production in the US since it's revision in 2017 and by special arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide, Centre Stage London is extremely proud to be producing the European Premiere of Zanna, Don't! A Rebooted Quantum Football Fable.
Author Tim Acito says, "I'm thrilled that Centre Stage will be presenting the UK premier of the new version of Zanna, Don't! In this rebooted version, instead of trying to make the show bigger and more current, I've tried to do the opposite – to return it to the humbler, vintage roots that spurred its original conception. Hopefully the characters and story have deepened without losing their innocence, playfulness, or ramshackle charm."
Take a trip back to Heartville and see the European Premiere of the new Zanna, Don't! A Rebooted Quantum Football Fable at The Bridewell Theatre during Pride celebrations in July 2020!
Running time is 90mins, no interval
