The previous tour of THE LION KING broke attendance records across the nation. With a cast of over 50 actors, singers and dancers, the story of THE LION KING is miraculously brought to life using masks, puppets and striking costumes to tell the story of Simba's epic adventure as he struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and becoming king. The stunning artistry of THE LION KING is the work of a team of designers which drew on diverse cultural influences to recreate the rich colours and vast expanses of the African savanna in this daring and inspiring reinvention of one of the most successful animated films of all time. Julie Taymor’s internationally-celebrated stage adaptation opened on Broadway in 1997 and 25 global productions have now been seen by more than 100 million people. Performed in nine different languages (English, Japanese, German, Korean, French, Dutch, Spanish, Mandarin and Portuguese), productions of THE LION KING can currently be seen on Broadway, London’s West End, Hamburg, Tokyo and Sapporo, Madrid, Scheveningen in Holland, Daegu in South Korea and on tour across North America - a total of nine productions running concurrently across the globe. Having played over 100 cities in 20 countries on every continent except Antarctica, THE LION KING’s worldwide gross exceeds that of any film, Broadway show or other entertainment title in box office history. Julie Taymor, one of the world’s most innovative directors, brought a vast array of disciplines to THE LION KING, including extensive experience staging epic theatre and opera productions, exploring classic myths through ritualised puppetry, mask, and movement. THE LION KING was the first musical she directed in the commercial theatre, and Taymor made Broadway history by becoming the first woman to win the Tony Award® for Best Director of a Musical. The show’s full creative team, which won five Tony Awards® for its work on THE LION KING, reunited in 1999 to recreate the show in London. Julie Taymor and Michael Curry created hundreds of masks and puppets. Scenic design is by leading British designer Richard Hudson and lighting is by Donald Holder. Costume design is by Julie Taymor, and choreography by Garth Fagan. The book was adapted by Roger Allers, who co-directed the animated feature, and Irene Mecchi, who co-wrote the screenplay. The original score from the animated film was expanded for the stage and now features 15 musical numbers. As well as writing completely new songs, South African composer Lebo M created an evocative blend of African rhythms and chorales, with additional material by Julie Taymor and Mark Mancina.

  • Acorn Antiques”
    A REVIEW OF THE GRAYSHOTT STAGERS PRODUCTION OF “ACORN ANTIQUES” 25TH TO 28TH MAY 2016 I wonder if, like me, you can remember those wonderfully entertaining weekly TV send-ups in the mid-1980s under the collective heading “Victoria Wood – As seen on TV”? Miss Wood developed one of these send-ups into a musical play - and “Acorn Antiques” was born! When it hit the West End in 2005, it had a sell-out season, earning several Olivier Award nominations, and featured Julie Walters and Celia Imrie in the starring roles of Mrs Overall and Miss Babs. At that time, Quentin Letts of the Daily Mail reported that “Acorn Antiques could well become a cult hit” – and many people now believe it has! Its revival the following year resulted in a successful UK tour with a slimmer version of the overly lengthy original. Whether it’s because of a love for Miss Wood herself, who met a sad and premature death recently, or a pleasure in recounting the TV sketches that she wrote, the Stagers recent production also proved immensely popular at the box office Essentially, the show is a satire on what Miss Wood saw as second-rate TV soaps – with digs at ATV’s “Crossroads” and the radio soap “Waggoners Walk”, but she also grabbed the opportunity to take a swipe or two at more current soaps, particularly “Eastenders” and “Coronation Street”. “Acorn Antiques” typifies Miss Wood’s northern humour, mixed with a disregard for political correctness and social sensitivity. The script is alive with witty one liners and sexual innuendoes, but at the same time it shows the broad range of her talent.

  • Actor Name PAGE TITLE WELCOME I’M Delighted to Be Able to Welcome You to Talent, Written by the Legendary Victoria Wood
    Work Sans 10.5 Actor Name PAGE TITLE WELCOME I’m delighted to be able to welcome you to Talent, written by the legendary Victoria Wood. Talent was first commissioned for the Crucible Studio in 1978, four years after Victoria auditioned for and won New Faces. It was her first play. Following critical acclaim, the show transferred to London in 1979 and was broadcast on television that same year. Over the course of her dazzling career at the top of British comedy – cut tragically short by her death in 2016 – she returned many times to writing for the stage. We’re proud that Talent serves as a reminder of Sheffield Theatres’ long-term dedication to championing exciting artists at the start of their careers, and amplifying new and evolving voices. This feels more vital than ever, and this new production, 43 years later, comes after The Together Season Festival – a two-week celebration of local artists making new work on the Crucible stage. For Talent, we’re welcoming back some familiar friends alongside some new faces to Sheffield Theatres, all brilliantly led by director Paul Foster, last here with us for Kiss Me, Kate and Annie Get Your Gun. We’re so happy to be back and welcoming you into the auditorium again. Thank you for your support, and enjoy the show! CAST BIOGRAPHIES RICHARD CANT Arthur For Sheffield Theatres, credits include: Original Sin and The Country Wife. Other theatre credits include: Mr Gum And The Dancing Bear (National Theatre); Wife (Kiln Theatre); Edward The Second and After Edward (Shakespeare’s Globe); Maydays, Hamlet, and Much Ado About Nothing (Royal Shakespeare Company); Stella (LIFT); Medea (Almeida); The Trial (Young Vic); Saint Joan and My Night With Reg (Donmar Warehouse); War Horse (National Theatre at New London Theatre); Salome (Hampstead Theatre); Troilus & Cressida, Cymbeline and As You Like It (Cheek by Jowl); Other People (Royal Court); Angels in America (Library Theatre, Manchester).
