Wilton’s Music Hall have announced their 2018 spring season, following on from a stellar year of world class theatre and music productions spanning every genre from musicals to opera to cabaret. Next year’s season is no different, as Europe’s oldest surviving grand music hall plays host to a range of spectacular theatre and dance, teaming up with a number of prestigious production companies.
Kneehigh presents a mesmerising production of the award-winning and critically acclaimed The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk (17th January – 10th February) to get the new year started, with Wilton’s providing the perfect backdrop for a play that ‘wraps you in the soaring giddiness and deep solace of overwhelming love’ (4* Financial Times). Partners in life and on canvas, Marc and Bella Chagall are immortalised as the picture of romance. But whilst on canvas they flew, in life they walked through some of the most devastating times in history.
East London’s favourite old-fashioned knees-up, Carradine’s Cockney Sing-a-long, is back for an uproarious night of song on 13th February, with traditional popular songs from across the decades, Music Hall ditties, World War I and II songs and West End show tunes.
The enormously popular OneTrackMinds (14th & 15th February) is returning to Wilton’s for the ultimate evening of storytelling and music as a selection of writers, musicians and thinkers come together to present a song that changed their life. A thought-provoking celebration of the power of music, this is TED Talks meets Desert Island Discs meets The Moth Radio.
Multi-award-winning Mark Bruce Company present a striking dance theatre re-imagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth (23rd February – 17th March), the classic tale of ambition, corruption and power. Goaded by the whispers of demons, the Macbeths (Jonathan Goddard and Eleanor Duval) unleash murder for their own gains and set in motion their path to madness and self-destruction, unravelling events in a nightmare they cannot control.
Making its European and London premiere at Wilton’s Music Hall is the extraordinary acting and singing one-woman tour de force, Songs for Nobodies (21st March – 7th April). Bringing together five iconic divas; Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and Maria Callas and five ordinary women whose lives were changed by a chance encounter with a star, the story is told through the incredible talents of singer and actress Bernadette Robinson, for whom the production was written specially.
Time-travelling magicians and Wilton’s associates Morgan & West are back on the road with their brand-new magic show Morgan and West – More Magic for Kids – Bigger, Bolder and more brilliant than before! For kids, adults and anyone in between, this marvellous spectacle is coming to Wilton’s from 4th to 6th April.
