A fun-packed summer season at HfC

Friends of Hall for Cornwall have already received the summer brochure but Stage Door is happy to reveal a selection of the highlights that await when the season goes on general sale this Friday.

We have some world class drama coming to Hall for Cornwall this season, with Simon Callow’s one man show Dr Marigold and Mr Chops with us between 6th and 10th September.  Later in the season we have The Madness of George III, with David Haig taking the lead role.

If you’re a fan of West End musicals, the season leaves you spoilt for choice with such shows as Dreamboats and Petticoats and Blood Brothers (both on sale now)  Looking further ahead, we have Buddy between October 3rd and 8th.

Families have much to look forward to as well, with our summer “pop musical” The GoGoGo Show offering a summer holiday treat between the 5th and 7th August.  Everyone’s favourite builder (Bob the Builder) will bring his stage show to Truro on the 1st and 2nd October.  In the meantime, for our youngest audience members, why not come along to Alice on June 19th?  This magical show has been created especially for an audience of five years and below (plus their grown-ups!). Tickets cost just £2 per child (plus theatre fund). Accompanying adults pay £1 plus theatre Fund.

Hall for Cornwall continues to offer some fantastic dance with Shaun Parker and Company bringing “Happy As Larry” to Hall for Cornwall on 27th and 28th September.  Keep an eye out for several local dance shows this season as well from Jason Thomas, Pamela Darlington and Cornwall Dance and Drama.

 Music continues to be an important part of the programme with, among others, Rick Wakeman, Marc Almond, Gilbert and Sullivan, Halle Youth Orchestra, Noah and the Whale and the (official) Glenn Millar Orchestra covering a wide range of genres and styles.

So whatever your preference, we look forward to seeing you at Hall for Cornwall this summer. Are you a Friend of Hall for Cornwall? click HERE to book today.

Vegas Comes to Town (twice!)

Here at Hall for Cornwall we put a lot of work into the logistics of getting shows ready for opening night.  Part of that process is getting the cast, set, props, costumes and other equipment in the right place at the right time.  It’s a little unusual, in our experience, for shows to stop by a week early but that’s precisely what Martyn Lucas did today for the shoppers in Truro!

One Night in Vegas will be at Hall for Cornwall next Friday, but to promote his “homecoming” show, Martyn and one of his “Vegas Showgirls” arrived on Lemon Quay this morning to perform a selection of numbers from the show and offer passers by a few limited free tickets.

The One Night in Vegas show now tours the whole UK, with dates including the London Palladium, but the story started right here at Hall for Cornwall with his first ever version of the show.  Martyn is thrilled to be returning next week – his show is bigger and better having grown over the years.  In addition to the Vegas Showgirls, Martyn will be supported by musicians of the acclaimed British Philharmonic Orchestra for a wonderful live “big band” Vegas sound.

If you were there at the start, Martyn would love to show you how much One Night in Vegas has grown and if you weren’t there at the start… why miss out this time around?  To book click HERE
