Christmas smash hit Elf The Musical is coming to London

ELF – the smash hit Christmas musical based on the beloved film – returns to London for a strictly limited 8-week season at the Dominion Theatre from 14 November to 7 January.

ELF is the funny and charming tale of Buddy, who mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag as a baby and was raised as an elf! Way too tall and not so great at his job, Buddy is the North Pole’s biggest misfit… and knows he’ll never belong.   When Santa tells him the truth, Buddy heads to New York to find his birth father (who turns out to be quite high on the Naughty List).   After causing some merry mayhem in Manhattan, Buddy finally discovers the gift of family and falls in love. And when Santa’s sleigh crashes in Central Park, it’s Buddy who finds a way to save Christmas forever!

THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

More a Christmas experience than anything else

A trip to Lincoln is guaranteed to melt the heart of even the most avowed anti-shopper!   Imagine a cobbled square overlooked by a floodlit 12th Century Cathedral, a Norman Castle and black and white timber-framed buildings.

Brightly coloured stalls decorated with lights, selling every conceivable Christmas gift and the traders in Victorian costume.   The smell of chestnuts roasting, mince pies and hot mulled wine.   The delicate sound of hand bell ringers or local choirs singing carols by lantern light, street theatre and beautiful services in the majestic Cathedral.

There are almost 300 stalls, set in the grounds of the Castle and the Lawn, around the Cathedral, in Castle Hill and along Westgate.

THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

Prepare to be surrounded by the magic and wonder of the Christmas season as you ride the Polar Express

Prepare to be surrounded by the magic and wonder of the Christmas season! As you and your family take in the festive decorations at THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride station, you can almost hear the faint sound of sleigh bells in the distance and the fun begins.

THE POLAR EXPRESS™ is waiting for you at the platform. Wait for the train Conductor to invite you and the other passengers to climb aboard, shouting “All aboooooard!”.   Anticipation builds as you step onto the Train to be escorted to your seat by the Chefs from the film.   Before long, scenes from the film come to life as dancing Chefs and Waiters arrive to serve cookies and hot chocolate.   The children are invited to engage these exciting characters who are eager to hear from the youngsters about what makes the Christmas season special to them.   While the hot chocolate lingers in your mouth and warms your tummy, you will listen as the story of The Polar Express is told in its entirety.   Chefs show pages from the beautifully illustrated book for the whole carriage to follow.   A smile grows on your face as you watch your child become absorbed in the wonderment of the story.

As your adventure continues, you notice other key elements of the story — both inside and outside your train — springing to life.   Watch and listen as another scene unfolds on-board before your eyes.

Upon arrival at the North Pole, keep your eyes peeled for Santa’s sleigh, a bag of toys and a giant Christmas tree. Watch out for Santa waving and, when the train stops, listen out for the carriage door to slam as Santa gets on board. After the train departs the North Pole for the return voyage home, you soon notice that the adventure isn’t over. Santa appears in your midst to present each passenger with their very own “First Gift of Christmas”, a silver bell from his sleigh.

Thinking back to the story, you might like to remind the children to check their pockets for holes!

Chefs on board lead the passengers in singing favourite Christmas Carols as the train heads back to Dereham Station.   Here passengers depart the train and make their way to the great gift shop with a range of gifts from toys, to Exclusive Polar Express Merchandise.

We encourage our guests, young and old to wear pyjamas just as in the Film.   Children love it and if you can persuade our older guests, Mums, Dads, Granny and Grandpa to also join in, the atmosphere in the train comes alive for a truly magical experience! T

his is where your participation in the story of The Polar Express comes to an end.   However, our hope for your family is that your Christmas season has been enriched and memories from your experience will endure for years to come.

These are Premium tickets that includes Hot Chocolate, ceramic Polar Express mug, and a little bell. A lovely keepsake of a wonderful trip.

DANCE, DINE AND HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE

Dine and dance at this joyful summer party

Mamma Mia! The Party is back in London.   Created by ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus, this is the immersive “all-singing, all-dancing theatrical dining extravaganza”.

Be transported to the island of Skopelos, via The O2 London, where Nikos and his family will host you in their fantastical Greek taverna for a glorious night of music, laughter and feasting where “the name of the game is fun” (Daily Mirror).

Enjoy a spectacular show, a four-course gourmet Mediterranean meal and a fabulous ABBA disco!    This unforgettable evening puts you right at the heart of the action, proving that “a night out with ABBA is the very best escape” (The Times).

What is Mamma Mia! The Party about?

Mamma Mia! The Party takes place at Nikos Taverna on the beautiful island of Skopelos, where the first Mamma Mia! movie was shot.   As the sun sets on the island, a secret romance is blossoming amongst the hustle and bustle of Nikos’ family-run taverna and you won’t have to leave your seat to watch the drama unfold.

Told through dialogue and timeless ABBA songs, a warm, romantic and funny story evolves and unfolds during the evening, taking place around the guests as they sit at their tables enjoying a gourmet Greek meal.

The four-course meal

Food is at the heart of the experience and a menu has been created that collects the finest Greece has to offer, made from the best, freshest ingredients.

Guests are served with a traditional mezze of breads, dips and olives followed by the iconic Greek salad of fresh cherry tomatoes, cucumber and feta.

For the main course, confit lamb shoulder and slow-cooked beef are served with roasted garlic potatoes, courgettes peperonata, romesco and aromatic jus. For vegetarian and vegan guests, there is roasted cauliflower with a lemon-herb dressing and stuffed tomato with lentil ragout.

A sumptuous Greek lemon cake served with confit orange skin and citrus yoghurt is the perfect end to this delicious meal. Vegan guests are served traditional loukoumades, delicious dough balls accompanied by a sweet fig jam.

With Greek cuisine, like all Mediterranean food, if you give it love you’ll get love in return.

The dancing!

The evening ends with a 1970s disco, where audience members are welcome to stay to sing and dance to ABBA songs.

EVENING SHOW

The Arenacross Tour is back for 2023! 

Europe’s leading Indoor Freestyle Motocross and Race Show returns for a five-round Tour of the UK in January and February 2023.

Arenacross is a show like no other.   It’s a high-octane mix of indoor Motocross racing and Freestyle Motocross (FMX) badness and is packed to the rafters with all-round family fun and frenzied entertainment.   It’s guaranteed to keep you on your feet yelling and hollering for more!

The racing is all about speed and skill.   Some of the fastest professional Motocross racers from around the world view Arenacross as a must-do championship as much for professional pride and the kudos of lifting the Arenacross title, as for the substantial pot of prize money.   They take no prisoners as they battle their way through the short, sharp and frenetic qualifying races with their sights firmly set on making it through to the Main Event Final.

FMX on the other hand, takes the action, quite literally, to another level!   It’s mind-blowing, spectacular and dangerous in equal measure.   It takes place some 60ft in the air when a group of insanely talented ‘rebels’ fly off a huge ramp over a platform in the centre of the arena, throwing loads of cool and seemingly impossible tricks, one-handed, no-handed, sideways, upside-down, you name it, they do it.

These awesome sporting stars compete in year-round world tour events such as the X-Games and Red Bull X-Fighters, and they leave no stone unturned as they source the very best and craziest for Arenacross.   But … you’ve got to get involved as, the louder you scream, the bigger the tricks.

These guys are the world’s best when it comes to showing off!  There is so much more to Arenacross all aimed at keeping the audience engaged and shrieking for more.

Is there really life after Romeo…or could he be worth one more try?

Come along for the ride as the original Anne Hathaway takes on her husband William Shakespeare to remix his legendary play.

Will Juliet get the ending she truly deserves? And most importantly, can their love survive this battle of wills?

The longest running play of all time

What is The Mousetrap play about?

The Mousetrap play follows a group of people gathered in a remote part of the countryside as they discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be?

One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed. A cracking yarn and an irresistible treat for amateur sleuths everywhere!

Is The Mousetrap still running?

The Mousetrap is the longest-running play of all time. The original production opened across the road at the Ambassadors Theatre on 25 November 1952. Since then, The Mousetrap is now translated into 27 different languages in more than 50 countries around the world. The Mousetrap then moved across the road to St. Martin’s Theatre in 1974, where it’s played ever since.

Who wrote The Mousetrap?

Agatha Christie, the “Queen of Crime,” wrote 66 novels throughout her career and was awarded a damehood for services to literature. Christie wrote The Mousetrap and Witness for the Prosecution. She became a Dame of the British Empire in 1971; her books have sold billions of copies around the world – more than any other author, after The Bible. She died on 12 Jan. 1976 aged 85. She gave the rights to the stage play to her then nine-year old grandson, Matthew Prichard.

Five Guys – One Dream – And a Sound that would make Music History

AIN’T TOO PROUD is the electrifying new musical that follows The Temptations’ extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Motown fans, get ready for Broadway hit Ain’t Too Proud, which will soon be filling the Prince Edward Theatre with the snappy sounds of The Temptations.    The Tony Award-winning jukebox musical charts the life and times of the rock ‘n’ roll icons to the tune of their greatest hits including “My Girl” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone”.

With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one.

The rest is history — how they met, the groundbreaking heights they hit and how personal and political conflicts threatened to tear the group apart as the United States fell into civil unrest.

A lovable, big-hearted musical comedy

Direct from a sensational run up in Manchester — where it played to sold-out crowds and standing ovations — the new comedy musical MRS. DOUBTFIRE is ready to dazzle and delight London’s West End.

DOUBTFIRE teaches Daniel more than he bargained for about how to be a father.

MRS. DOUBTFIRE has been created by a transatlantic team of award-winning artists, with a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, original music and lyrics by Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick (the Tony Award-nominated team behind Something Rotten!, along with O’Farrell), direction by 4-time Tony winner Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!), scenic design by David Korins (Hamilton), choreography by Lorin Latarro (Waitress), and music supervision by Ethan Popp (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical).
