Enjoy a Sixties Show with afternoon tea at Brick Lane Music Hall

If the 1950’s was epitomised by the emergence of rock and roll, when it was finally “cool” to be a teenager, the 1960’s was a decade of liberation, when the young led the way, in a period of optimism, hedonism and cultural revolution.

In Britain, the 1950’s had been a period of quiet recovery from the Second World War, but by the 1960’s the whole country had sprung back to life and London became “the Swinging City”, the centre of new trends in music, fashion and art.

Today, we enjoy a Sixties Show at Brick Lane Music Hall.

Theatre-mad Bobby Child struggles to balance the demands of his wealthy New York fiancée and his mother, who both want him to lead the family bank, with his ambitions for a career in show business.    He grudgingly travels to Deadrock, Nevada, a deserted mining community, to foreclose on a mortgage at his mother’s urging.

There he discovers that the property where the mortgage is owed is a run-down Victorian theatre and that Polly, the owner’s daughter, is the woman of his dreams.

In an effort to rescue the theatre and revitalise the community, Bobby decides to stage a show using glitzy dancers from New York’s Follies in an effort to win her love and prove his good faith.

Based on George and Ira Gershwin’s Girl Crazy musical, Crazy For You is directed and choreographed by Broadway legend Susan Stroman, and is a glorious  and spectacular night at the theatre.

This riotously fun musical is filled with wonderful Gershwin tunes, including Someone to Watch Over Me, Embraceable You, I Got Rhythm, and They Can’t Take That Away from Me, and it has breathtaking tap dance routines that are guaranteed to lift your spirits.

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical is the captivating musical masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dares to change her destiny.

Matilda follows the story of Matilda Wormwood, a bright little girl who loves to immerse herself in books. But Matilda is discarded and belittled by both her dimwitted parents — her father insists on calling her a boy and harps on about her “stupidity” for preferring reading to watching the telly – and her hostile headmistress, the wicked Miss Trunchbull.

Matilda may be reclusive but she has an ever-growing imagination and very sharp mind, and with caring teacher Miss Honey Matilda dreams of a better life, daring to take a stand against unjust forces and to grasp her destiny in her own, tiny hands.

This bold, enchanting and ingenious production is directed by Matthew Warchus, with book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by award-winning musician and comedian Tim Minchin.

MATINEE PERFORMANCE

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical is the captivating musical masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dares to change her destiny.

Matilda follows the story of Matilda Wormwood, a bright little girl who loves to immerse herself in books. But Matilda is discarded and belittled by both her dimwitted parents — her father insists on calling her a boy and harps on about her “stupidity” for preferring reading to watching the telly – and her hostile headmistress, the wicked Miss Trunchbull.

Matilda may be reclusive but she has an ever-growing imagination and very sharp mind, and with caring teacher Miss Honey Matilda dreams of a better life, daring to take a stand against unjust forces and to grasp her destiny in her own, tiny hands.

This bold, enchanting and ingenious production is directed by Matthew Warchus, with book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by award-winning musician and comedian Tim Minchin.

MATINEE PERFORMANCE

Based on the 2003 film of the same name, but there’s a major difference between the Elf film and Elf on stage.

The Elf musical is based on the hit Christmas film of the same name.   Elf centres around Buddy, a lovable yet awkward misfit.   As a young boy, Buddy accidentally found himself inside Santa’s sack and eventually grew up in the North Pole with Santa and his elves.   though he’s raised as an elf alongside other elves, Buddy struggles to fit in with fellow hardworking elves.

Once Buddy gets older, he learns that he isn’t an elf, but a human.   How is this possible?

To learn where he really comes from, Buddy heads to New York to reunite with his birth father. But Buddy’s never ventured outside of the North Pole before.   How will he behave?   What happens in New York?   How do you get around? While in New York, Buddy learns a great deal about himself and the wider world.

And with Santa crashing in Central Park, can Buddy the Elf share the Christmas spirit?

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!

And when Santa’s sleigh crashes in Central Park, it’s Buddy who finds a way to save Christmas forever!

CHRISTMAS MAGIC

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!

This 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.
