The Forum Theatre shares autumn line-up of shows

Romiley’s Forum Theatre has revealed the line-up of shows and events coming to its stage this autumn and into the festive period.

 From Wednesday 28th September, the Hollywood blockbuster LEGALLY BLONDE take to the stage with a wonderful cast, fantastic dancing and a brilliant set taking you back to the 2001 film.  The show tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrols at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and she successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial. Throughout the show, very few characters have faith in Elle, but she manages to surprise them when she defies expectations while staying true to herself.  The musical runs from Wednesday 28th September through to Saturday 1st October at 7.30pm with an additional 2pm Saturday matinée.

The fantastic adult Halloween cabaret THE ROCK AND HORROR GRAVEYARD SHOW is back this October for two nights on Friday 28th and Saturday 29th October.  Join Beetlejuice, Dracula, Frankenstein, together with some fantastic ghoulish dancers and all of the characters from The Rocky Horror Picture Show in this amazing rock show with live band, late bar and of course fancy dress encouraged. 

In November, the Forum welcomes the star of Trigger Happy TV DOM JOLY to the stage with his Holiday Snaps comedy show and is very excited to have such a fantastic comedian live in Stockport.

There is classic drama too, as BILLY LIAR is performed on Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th November.  This play, written by Keith Waterhouse’s was published in 1959, and captures brilliantly the claustrophobic atmosphere of a small town. It tells the story of Billy Fisher, a Yorkshire teenager unable to stop lying – especially to his three girlfriends. Trapped by his boring job and working-class parents, Billy finds that his only happiness lies in grand plans for his future and fantastical day-dreams of the fictional country Ambrosia. 

All of our Christmas shows are on sale too including ELF JUNIOR live on stage!  There are two more CHRISTMAS FAMILY MOVIE shows too!  The films include pizza and popcorn and make for a perfect family Christmas afternoon out!  This year The Forum Theatre will be presenting Home Alone 2 and The Muppets Christmas Carol. 

Mickey and Minnie return with all of their Disney friends with their MAGICAL CHRISTMAS on Saturday 10th December and the pantomime at The Forum Theatre this year will be the wonderful tale of RAPUNZEL which runs from Sunday 11th December right through to New Years Eve.  Early bird tickets are available until the end of September – so be quick to grab a discount!

The theatre will also be hosting a Christmas Comedy night on Saturday 10th December, which is a perfect night out for friends and work colleagues alike.

Over the coming weeks, The Forum will also be welcoming Step Ahead Dance School, The Theatre Dance Workshop, Blushette Flix and NK Theatre Arts will be presenting their Studio 2 Dance Showcase this October!

Looking ahead to 2023, as well as the Stockport premiere of SCHOOL OF ROCK, don’t forget there will be three musical legends appearing at The Forum Theatre.  LULU – For The Record, is taking place on 11th May, FRANCIS ROSSI  – Tunes and Chat, is staged on 7th June with PAUL YOUNG – Behind the Lens, on 1st October.  Tickets are still available for all performances, which include meet and greet opportunities too: a wonderful Christmas present for any fan of those three musical sensations!
