The coming months are full to the brim with stellar shows at The Alexandra, Birmingham. Audiences can expect world-class dance, smash-hit musicals and even a fiddler on a roof.
We are thrilled to be heading into a celebratory August, as we mark 20 years of our youth theatre programme Stage Experience with the incredible West Side Story. Jets, Sharks and star-crossed lovers will take to the stage to showcase their talents after a busy fortnight of rehearsals.
The milestones don’t end there, as Riverdance 30: The New Generation anniversary tour brings mesmerising choreography to audiences, with a brand-new company of performers.
A sparkling September is in store as we kick off the UK and European tour of The Bodyguard, starring Sidonie Smith, Adam Garcia, Sasha Monique and Matt Milburn. Packed full of Whitney Houston classics, we’re sure it will be the stuff that you want and the thing that you need.
From sparkles to spooks, October is set to be a nail-biting month. For the first time, Inside No. 9 Stage/Fright comes toBirmingham’smost haunted theatre, starring Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith. Due to incredible demand, the show will also return in December.
We then see the return of 2:22 A Ghost Story, starring Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley as fictional couple Sam and Jenny, alongside Grant Kilburn and Shvorne Marks as Ben and Lauren.
Celebrate the sound of one of Britain’s most iconic bands The Kinks with Sunny Afternoon, featuring an incredible selection of songs including You Really Got Me, Lola, and All Day and All of the Night.
Towards the end of the year we’ll be cooling down with Slava’s SnowShow. Packed with heart and humour, and lots of snow, this wonder of a show is sure to touch both your heart and funny bone.
The heat is on once again, however, as Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary Miss Saigon is reborn in a spectacular new production, telling the story of 17 year-old Kim and American GI Chris during the fall of Saigon.
As we approach the festive season, The Alexandra will be full of heart and full of love as the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre’s sold-out electrifying Fiddler on the Roof will mesmerise audiences over a four-week run.
Ellen Kent brings three stunning operas to the city on her Farewell Opera Tour. Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Bizet’s Carmen, and Verdi’s La Traviata will grace our stage in 2026. Dickens Theatre Company continue to bring English GCSE texts to life with Revision on Tour: Macbeth and Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.
Audiences can take a peek behind the curtain on our Theatre Tours throughout the year, with lots of new dates to be announced shortly.
