The Forum Theatre shares upcoming Autumn shows

With the summer season in full swing at Romiley’s Forum, the community theatre is sharing what shows are coming up in Autumn 2025.

As well as some awesome music events, dramas and huge musicals, there are some legendary names taking to the stage in Stockport.

The KNDS Fairey Band V J Concert
Sun 17th August, 4pm

The KNDS Fairey Band was founded in 1937 by employees at the Fairey Aviation Works in Stockport and as a key contributor to the World War 2 war effort it is very appropriate that they have joined up with Stockport Armed Forces Community Organisation to put on this spectacular event with uplifting music to celebrate and commemorate 80 years since Victory over Japan

In recent years the band has enjoyed further recognition outside the confines of the brass band movement with its involvement in the ‘Acid Brass’ project. Under this banner, the Fairey Band has been able to display its flexibility in adapting to a totally different musical concept and has performed in rock and pop festivals in the UK and overseas.

Little Shop of Horrors
Wednesday 24th – Saturday 27th September, 7.30pm; additional 2pm Performance Saturday 27th September

A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world.

The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” – after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!

Pink Floydian – 50 Years of Wish You Were Here
Friday 10th October, 8pm

Pink Floydian is an 8-piece tribute band dedicated to paying homage to the greatest progressive rock band of all time, Pink Floyd. Over the years, they have steadily built a reputation as one of the most authentic and captivating Pink Floyd tribute acts in the UK. Their attention to detail, both musically and visually, has earned them widespread praise from audiences and critics alike. Every performance is a meticulously crafted recreation of Pink Floyd’s legendary live shows, complete with the signature soundscapes, haunting vocals, and dazzling visual elements that defined the original band’s performances.

Their two-and-a-half-hour show spans the full breadth of Pink Floyd’s illustrious career, offering fans a chance to experience live renditions of classic tracks from iconic albums like Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Obscured By Clouds, A Saucerful of Secrets, More, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse of Reason, and The Division Bell. With each song, the band effortlessly transports the audience back to the height of Pink Floyd’s success. And, of course, no Pink Floydian show would be complete without the all-important Floyd-esque lasers, adding to the immersive, multi-sensory experience.

Nik Kershaw – Musings and Lyrics
Wednesday 5th November, 7.30pm

Musings and Lyrics!  An intimate evening of songs, stories and silliness in the company of Nik Kershaw.

Nik Kershaw exploded onto the UK pop scene in 1984. A string of global hit singles including ‘Wouldn’t it Be Good’, ‘The Riddle’ and ‘I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ saw him languish for 62 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, making him the UK’s biggest selling solo artist that year. In 1985, he performed at Live Aid. After stepping out of the limelight to concentrate on writing and producing, Nik wrote Chesney Hawkes’s ‘The One and Only’ and collaborated with Elton John, Lulu, Petula Clark, The Hollies, Ronan Keating, Jason Donovan, Let Loose, Sia, Imogen Heap, Gary Barlow and Bonnie Tyler. 

In 1998, Nik returned to performing and has been crafting critically acclaimed albums ever since. Now he’s ready to look back with an intimate evening to coincide with the release of his new book. Expect songs, stories, and silliness from one of the nation’s most-loved performers.
