GYPSY, THE MUSICAL
The memoirs of burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee are brought to life by multi award-winning actress Caroline O’Connor as Mama Rose. Her credits include Chicago, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Follies, Piaf and Mack and Mabel.
This jewel of American musical theatre charts Mama Rose’s story of her mother, and her determination to live out her own dreams of stardom through her two daughters. It features many well-loved numbers including Everything’s Coming up Roses, You Gotta Have a Gimmick and Some People.
Originally premiering on Broadway in 1959, Curve’s production of this classic fable is the first in the UK for many years. This much-anticipated revival is directed by Curve Artistic Director Paul Kerryson.

NUTCRACKER!
Now celebrating its 20th year, Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker! is still one of the best-loved dance productions ever staged in the UK. Tchaikovsky’s majestic score meets Anthony Ward’s incredible sets and sizzling choreography to create a modern theatrical feast packed with wit, pathos and fantasy.
A family favourite, Nutcracker! follows Clara’s bittersweet journey from a bleak Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross’ Orphanage, through a shimmering, ice-skating winter wonderland to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland.
Matthew Bourne’s company New Adventures has produced some of the most successful contemporary dance productions including Swan Lake, The Car Man, Edward Scissorhands and Cinderella.
