DISCO INFERNO

It's summer, 1976 and Jack is about to celebrate a 21st birthday he will never forget in this fantastic new 70's musical comedy.  Working late in a London nightclub, 'Disco Inferno', Jack meets Lady Marmalade - the devil's right hand lady. He makes a Faustian pact with her, trading his soul to fulfil his wildest fantasties. Jack becomes an international success, but at the same time, he is losing his devoted girlfriend, Jane. If only he could turn back time... If only he could make one more trade, trading all he has now for something far more important... the love of his life.

This highly acclaimed musical combines a hilarious script with an electrifying score of hits from the 1970's including 'I Will Survive', 'YMCA', 'Boogie Nights', 'Hot Stuff'. An unforgettable look at an era of glitter, flares and platform shoes which is guaranteed to warm hearts, get feet tapping and audiences leaving with 'a night to remember'.

THE SUNSHINE BOYS

When you’re the Emperor of Europe (or, at least, most of Europe) the main problem seems to be boredom. So, what does a Holy Roman Emperor do?  He goes into battle, noisily looting and pillaging. But his son, Pippin, is sure there must be some better way – maybe raising a family, growing a garden, spreading a little happiness. Stephen Schwartz’s “magic” musical followed on from his great success with “Godspell” , and won all the major Broadway awards!  Lovely ballads, gentle soft-rock and soft-shoe, a tuneful glorious musical treat for all the family – from the same time that brought you last year’s  enormously successful youth version of  “Les Miserables”.

SEUSSICAL

Take a clever, colourful, tuneful, and delightful ride into the endless imagination of America's favourite storyteller! This enormously popular new family musical is straight from Broadway and filled with all the visual surprises, outrageous characters and off-beat humour that make Dr. Seuss so special. When chaos erupts in the Jungle of Nool, it will take the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, and a gaggle of characters to restore harmony.  Just imagine a world where anything’s possible – an elephant in a tree, a person too tiny to see, an heroic child and dreams running wild! For the first time at the KMT and indeed, in London, the world of Seuss comes alive in this amazing stage production.  We invite kids of all ages to join us for an amazing slice of green eggs and ham!
