Curtain rises on new season line-up

Varna International Ballet company present Sleeping Beauty

Darlington Hippodrome has unveiled its spring season of shows, packed with showstopping performances featuring comedy, drama, dance and a host of music.

With the annual festive family panto just days away from opening, the venue is celebrating a hugely successful year of theatre. Starring pop sensation and musical theatre star Gareth Gates and Jenny Ryan from ITVs The Chase, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is breaking all box office records.

With its new programme of shows into 2024, Darlington Hippodrome is continuing its commitment to present an exciting and wide-ranging offering. There are traditional family favourites, breath-taking dance productions, hard-hitting drama and some toe-tapping musicals as part of its extensive list.

January sees the return of the Varna International Ballet who will present Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker from Friday, January 26, to Sunday, January 28.

If stand-up comedy is your thing then have a night with Ed Byrne on Sunday, February 4, Frankie Boyle on Friday, March 1, and Stewart Lee on Saturday, March 16.

Also in March, the Icarus Theatre Collective presents a new stage production of Julius Caesar using state-of-the-art digital technology and classic theatrical magic.

Opera lovers will be treated to two of the very best as the Ukrainian Opera and Ballet presents Verdi’s La Traviata on Thursday, March 21, and Puccini’s Madama Butterfly on Friday, March 22.

Musical theatre fans will be delighted with the wildly satirical Oh What A Lovely War from Thursday, March 28 to Saturday, March 30, and the international hit musical Kinky Boots at the start of May presented by Darlington Operatic Society.

Looking a little further ahead for drama buffs, there is a different take on the Oscar Wilde classic The Importance of Being Earnest, a new production of School for Scandal, traditional farce with What The Butler Saw, the thrilling Haunting of Blaine Manor and the all-time favourite The Mousetrap.

The new season will see a host of familiar names on the bill including Giovanni Pernice, Anton Du Beke, The Halle, Dr Michael Mosley, Smokey, Dear Zoo, Ben Fogle, Justin Hayward, and Sooty to name but a few.

Tickets are still available for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
