## Brian Cox’s beginnings

Brian Cox was born in 1946 in Dundee, Scotland. His parents were working class and, following his father’s death from pancreatic cancer when Cox was eight years old, his older sisters helped bring him up.

Cox nurtured his passion for the stage at Dundee Repertory Theatre, and he left aged 17 to train at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

## Brian Cox on stage

Cox’s earliest experience of theatre was aged 14 at Dundee Rep. He also performed in the first show at the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, *The Servant O’ Twa Maisters*, in 1965. He then played the title role in *Peer Gynt* at Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 1967 and made his West End debut later that year, playing Orlando in *As You Like It* at London’s [Vaudeville Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/vaudeville-theatre).

That impressive West End performance sparked Cox’s long run of Shakespearean roles with both the [National Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/national-theatre) and the RSC – from *Titus Andronicus*, *Julius Caesar*, and *The Taming of the Shrew* to *King Lear* and *Richard III*. In fact he first played the Duke of Burgundy to Laurence Olivier’s Lear, in 1983, then graduated to the title role in 1990.

But he performed numerous other works too, including several productions at the [Royal Court](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/royal-court-theatre), such as *In Celebration*, *Cromwell*, and *Hedda Gabler*. In 1984, he starred in Ron Hutchinson’s *Rat in the Skull* and went on to win the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a New Play.

He also starred in *Danton’s Death* at the National, and in 1985, he made his Broadway and off-Broadway debuts – in Eugene O’Neill’s *Strange Interlude* and the transfer of *Rat in the Skull*. Cox won his second Olivier for *Titus Andronicus* in 1988.

Cox is a musical actor, too, playing Harold Hill in *The Music Man* at [Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/regents-park-open-air-theatre) in 1994. He returned to Broadway in 1997 with *St Nicholas*, and then with Yasmina Reza’s modern classic *Art*.

The 2000s saw Cox back at the Royal Court with Conor McPherson’s *Dublin Carol*, and then premiering Tom Stoppard’s *Rock ‘N’ Roll* at the Royal Court and on Broadway. He starred in another McPherson play, *The Weir*, at the [Donmar Warehouse](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/donmar-warehouse) in 2014, took *The Great Society* to Broadway in 2019, and most recently starred as Bach in new play *The Score* at the Theatre Royal Bath earlier this year.

## Brian Cox in film

Cox made his film debut playing Leon Trotsky in the 1971 movie *Nicholas and Alexandra*. He then starred in the film adaptation of theatre production *In Celebration* in 1975. He came to wider public attention in 1986 with his chilling performance as Dr Hannibal Lecktor in the Michael Mann thriller *Manhunter*.

Roles followed in big Hollywood movies like the adventure film *Prince of Jutland*, historical dramas *Rob Roy* and *Braveheart*, sci-fi *Chain Reaction*, thrillers *The Long Kiss Goodnight* and *Kiss the Girls*, sports drama *The Boxer*, and comedy *Rushmore* – all cementing Cox’s screen presence and sheer range.

He was critically acclaimed for his performance as a paedophile in *L.I.E.* in 2001, earning a Satellite Award and nominations for the Independent Spirit Award and AFI Award.

In 2002, he took a key role in the film that kicked off a massive franchise: *The Bourne Identity*. He played CIA Deputy Director Ward Abbott, who appears again in the 2004 sequel *The Bourne Supremacy*. Cox also joined the *X-Men* universe in 2003, playing the villainous William Stryker in *X2*.

Subsequent films included the ancient epic *Troy*, Woody Allen’s *Match Point*, David Fincher’s thriller *Zodiac*, a big-screen *Coriolanus* directed by and starring Ralph Fiennes, and *Rise of the Planet of the Apes*. In 2017 he played the title role in *Churchill*. 

Most recently, he starred opposite Kate Beckinsale in *The Prisoner’s Daughter*, and he’s leading a new horror comedy, *The Parenting*, alongside Edie Falco and Lisa Kudrow.

## Brian Cox on TV

Cox’s first TV appearance was in 1968 in the BBC anthology series *Theatre 625*. He then played Henry II in medieval dramatisation *The Devil’s Crown* in 1978, followed by Laurent LeClaire in *Thérèse Raquin*. He guest-starred in the likes of *Red Dwarf* and *Inspector Morse*.

Numerous TV roles followed, including the closeted father of a gay man in *The Lost Language of Cranes*, which earned Cox a BAFTA nomination in 1993. He also won acclaim for playing Hermann Göring in the 2000 docudrama *Nuremberg*, about the trials of the same name. Cox was nominated for a Golden Globe and won his first Emmy Award.

In 2001, Cox played Harry Moon in TV sitcom *Frasier* and was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor. In 2006, he took on a very different part as impresario Jack Langrishe in TV Western *Deadwood*.

He continued to play key guest roles in everything from *Doctor Who* and *A Touch of Cloth* to *Shetland* and *Penny Dreadful*. Cox also starred in the adaptation of hit novel *The Slap* in 2015 and in the BBC’s *War & Peace* in 2016.

But perhaps his most enduring role is that of Logan Roy in *Succession*. From 2018-23, Cox played the towering patriarch who manipulated and abused his unfortunate children and potential successors to his media empire. 

The HBO series has won countless awards, with Cox himself winning a Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble, and being nominated for multiple Emmy Awards.

Cox’s most recent project is a more lighthearted one: acting as the host – and antagonist – in the James Bond-themed competition show *007: Road to a Million*.

It will be thrilling to see him back in action, playing another intimidating father figure in *Long Day’s Journey into Night*, in Jeremy Herrin’s highly anticipated West End revival.

Long Day’s Journey Into Night - LON 

Long Day’s Journey Into Night

The Emmy, Golden Globe and Olivier award-winning actor Brian Cox, makes his return to the London stage in Spring 2024 starring in Long Day’s Journey Into Night.

Brian Cox returns to the West End in 2024 to star in director Jeremy Herrin's highly anticipated revival of Eugene O'Neill's *Long Day's Journey into Night*.

*A Mirror*, the critically acclaimed drama from Sam Holcroft, will transfer to the West End next year following its world premiere this past summer. The show will play at the [Trafalgar Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/trafalgar-theatre) for 12 weeks beginning on 22 January, with opening night on 1 February.

Jonny Lee Miller (*Trainspotting*, *Elementary*) will reprise his leading role as Čelik from the [Almeida Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/almeida-theatre) premiere, and Tanya Reynolds (*Sex Education*) will reprise hers as Mei. Additionally, Geoffrey Streatfeild will return as Bax, and Samuel Adewunmi will make his West End debut as Adem.

*A Mirror* is set at the wedding of Leyla and Joel, which gradually reveals itself to be more than it seems. London Theatre's four-star [review of the Almeida production](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/a-mirror-review-almeida-theatre) reads, "Holcroft’s witty satire is an exuberant experience if you surrender to its looping structure, which does pay off smartly in a big climactic reveal."

Jeremy Herrin returns to direct. *A Mirror* also features sets and costumes are by Max Jones, lighting by Azusa Ono, composition and sound by Nick Powell, and fight direction by Jonathan Holby.

Check back for information on *A Mirror* tickets on London Theatre.

A Mirror

Award-winning actors Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting, Elementary) and Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education, Scenes with Girls) star in the "extraordinary and mesmeric" __*A Mirror*__, coming to London's West End following a sell-out run at the Almeida Theatre.

Sam Holcroft's play originally premiered at the Almeida Theatre in August and will now play a limited engagement at the Trafalgar Theatre from January.

Three exciting actors join forces to star in a major London revival of David Ireland’s 2018 dark comedy, *[Ulster American](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/35882-ulster-american)*. Woody Harrelson, Andy Serkis, and Louisa Harland lead Jeremy Herrin’s production at [Riverside Studios](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/riverside-studios), which plays a limited eight-week season from 4 December to 27 January.

Of course, that trio of performers is already popular with audiences, thanks to the numerous screen credits between them – including *Cheers*, *The Hunger Games*, *True Detective*, *The Lord of the Rings*, *The Hobbit*, *Planet of the Apes*, and *Derry Girls*.

Read on to get to know this cast even better, and find out more about their roles in *Ulster American*.

## What is *Ulster American* about?

Northern Irish playwright David Ireland premiered *Ulster American* in 2018 at the Traverse Theatre during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This provocative satire centres on an American actor, an English director, and (like Ireland) a Northern Irish playwright, who all have different aims with their latest project: a West End play about a Protestant activist.

The Oscar-winning actor, Jay, is fixated on connecting with his Irish roots, while playwright Ruth has Hollywood ambitions. Director Leigh hopes the play will reflect a divided Britain just after the Brexit referendum. 

In a fraught session at Leigh’s flat, they descend into furious arguments over everything from national identity and gender to politics and anti-PC speech. It’s very much a play for our times, presenting *Ulster American*'s big issues in a razor-sharp, blisteringly funny way — and with of-the-moment stars to boot.

![3 ulster american-1200x600-LT](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/4JxDFSYPmPDxzC480nk1Ni/f210001b98edfb40bccd7330f86a313c/3_ulster_american-1200x600-LT.jpg)

## Woody Harrelson

Hollywood A-lister Woody Harrelson stars as Jay. Born in 1961 in Texas, he got his big break in 1985 when he was cast as the endearing but dim bartender Woody in the hit sitcom *Cheers*. Harrelson received five Emmy Award nominations and won once during his eight seasons on the programme.

He guest starred on several other TV shows, including *Cheers* spin-off *Frasier*, *Will & Grace*, *The Simpsons*, and *Spin City*. In 2014, Harrelson co-starred with Matthew McConaughey in the acclaimed first season of crime drama *True Detective*. In 2023, he starred in *White House Plumbers*, which tells the true story of how Richard Nixon’s political operatives accidentally overturned his presidency. 

But Harrelson’s career went stratospheric on the big screen. He made his movie debut in 1986 with sports comedy *Wildcats* and soon racked up many notable credits, including the Oscar-winning films *No Country for Old Men* and *Three Billboads Outside Ebbing, Missouri*. He also starred opposite Robert Redford and Demi Moore in the zeitgeist drama *Indecent Proposal*, in which a billionaire offers a cash-strapped couple $1 million for a night with her.

Harrelson was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the 1996 film *The People vs Larry Flynt*. He played Flynt, the publisher of *Hustler* magazine. In 2009, Harrelson was nominated for an Oscar again for playing Captain Tony Stone in war film *The Messenger*.

From 2012, Harrelson starred in *The Hunger Games* film series as Haymitch Abernathy. In 2017, Harrelson worked with his *Ulster American* co-star Andy Serkis in *War for the Planet of the Apes*.

Harrelson has plenty of theatre experience, too. He made his Broadway debut in 1985 in *Biloxi Blues* and starred in the Off-Broadway production of *The Boys Next Door* in 1987. In 1999, he returned to Broadway with *The Rainmaker*, and in 2005 he made his [West End](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/whats-on) debut with the [Tennessee Williams](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/tennessee-williams-plays) play *The Night of the Iguana*.

![8 ulster american-1200x600-LT](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/1vBFxKY1huP4fdZBIntLb0/6f9c4c83352e838ece9014a0f79f151c/8_ulster_american-1200x600-LT.jpg)

## Andy Serkis

English actor Andy Serkis plays Leigh in *Ulster American*. Serkis was born in Middlesex in 1964 and developed a passion for acting while studying at Lancaster University.

Serkis began working in touring productions of plays like Shakespeare’s *The Winter’s Tale* and *King Lear*. He built up steady credits in both TV and film, including the Mike Leigh period musical *Topsy-Turvy* and episodes of *Spooks*, *Finney*, and *Touching Evil*.

In 1999, he played the villainous Bill Sikes in a TV adaptation of *Oliver Twist*, and he was Rigaud in another Dickens adaptation, *Little Dorrit*, in 2008. In 2006 he played serial killer Ian Brady in *Longford*, and he starred as Albert Einstein in the 2008 TV movie *Einstein and Eddington*.

However, another literary adaptation, Tolkien’s *Lord of the Rings*, made Serkis a global phenomenon. He played Gollum in the first film of the trilogy, *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring*, mastering cutting-edge motion-capture technology and also providing the character’s unforgettable voice.

Serkis reprised the role in *The Two Towers*, *The Return of the King*, and in *The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey*. He played more motion-capture roles in *King Kong*, *Rise of the Planet of the Apes* and its two sequels, *The Adventures of Tintin*, and *Star Wars: The Force Awakens*. 

Serkis also played punk rocker Ian Dury in *Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll*, villain Ulysses Klaue in *Avengers: Age of Ultron* and *Black Panther*, and butler Alfred in *The Batman*. 

In 1995, Serkis starred in the [Royal Court](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/royal-court-theatre)’s production of Jez Butterworth’s *Mojo*. But he hasn’t done much theatre otherwise, so *Ulster American* is a rare chance to catch him on stage.

![4 ulster american-1200x600-LT](//images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/39e56dEKzYRa4Et8whAZkl/e0dedf224d43627069683bcdee2353fc/4_ulster_american-1200x600-LT.jpg)

## Louisa Harland

Irish actress Louisa Harland stars as Northern Irish playwright Ruth. Harland was born in 1993 in Dublin and moved to London to train at the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts.

In 2011, Harland made her professional debut in the RTÉ One crime drama series *Love/Hate*, in a recurring role over four episodes. Most audiences know Harland, however, for playing Orla in the smash-hit sitcom *Derry Girls* from 2018-2022. Lisa McGee’s beloved show centres on teenagers living in Derry during The Troubles in the 1990s.

Harland won praise for her vivid portrayal of Orla, the cousin of the show’s lead character, Erin. Many viewers identify with her proudly eccentric character – whether seeing her as on the autistic spectrum, or simply someone who isn’t afraid to be different.

In 2017, she worked with her *Ulster American* co-star Woody Harrelson for the first time, playing Stella in the independent film *Lost in London*. Harrelson wrote, starred in, and directed the autobiographical tale based on a real, wild night out in the city.

Harland also appeared in the 2020 TV drama *The Deceived*, led by Emmett J Scanlan and Paul Mescal. Coming up, Harland will star in Sally Wainwright’s historical drama *The Ballad of Renegade Nell*, about highwaywoman Nell Jackson. 

Harland has theatre experience, too. She began with *Cotton Fingers* at Aberaeron Memorial Hall in Wales in 2018, and then did two shows in London: Caryl Churchill’s *Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp.* at the Royal Court in 2019, and, earlier this year, Brian Friel’s *[Dancing at Lughnasa](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/dancing-at-lughnasa-review-national-theatre)* at the National Theatre – which reunited her with her *Derry Girls* co-star Siobhán McSweeney.

An Oscar-winning American actor, an English director and a Northern Irish playwright are about to begin rehearsals for a new play — one that could transform each of their careers. But when it turns out that they’re not on the same page, the night threatens to spiral out of control.

Let it snow! Disney’s *Frozen* is a joyful family theatre outing year-round, but it’s particularly magical at Christmas. You’ve got Elsa’s magical touch, which transforms Arendelle into a snow-capped wintry wonder, and the musical’s focus on the enduring love between siblings.

Younger theatregoers will love all the inventive touches in Michael Grandage’s production, such as the puppet Olaf and Sven and the clever theatrical magic Elsa performs. Add in beloved songs love “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” and “Let It Go,” and *Frozen* is a spellbinding trip.

## *[The Snowman](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/26625-the-snowman)*, [Peacock Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/peacock-theatre)

This is the incredible 26th year of *The Snowman* at Sadler’s Wells’ West End house, and no wonder: It’s still a gem of a show, accessible to audiences of all ages (there’s no dialogue, and the story is easy to follow), and bound to move nostalgic parents to tears.

See the Snowman come to life, lead you on various adventures, and, of course, fly to the music of “Walking in the Air” in this beautifully crafted dance show. *The Snowman* is the perfect event to get the whole family into the Christmas spirit.

## *[The Lion King](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/302-the-lion-king-tickets)*, [Lyceum Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/lyceum-theatre)

Disney classic *The Lion King* remains a fantastic introduction to theatre, thanks to Julie Taymor’s inventive adaptation of the brilliant animated film. Jaw-dropping puppets bring to life the animals of the African Pride Lands, including rising young ruler Simba.

Elton John and Tim Rice’s catchy songs are all here, including “Hakuna Matata,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” and of course “Circle of Life.” *The Lion King* is a lovely show that emphasises family: both the one you’re born into and the one you make.

## *[My Neighbour Totoro](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/25389-my-neighbour-totoro-tickets)*, [Barbican](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/barbican)

Does anything say '90s quite like Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy gone bad!) starring in a Manhattan rich-kid remake of *Les Liaisons Dangereuses*? Happily, this indelible movie is now a cult musical, too, coming to London via New York and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Watch the warped step-siblings Sebastian and Kathryn flirt, spar, and make sexy bets about the virtuous new girl, Annette. This run of the musical at The Other Palace, which features an incredible jukebox score with throwback hits like “Bittersweet Symphony,” “Torn,” “Genie in a Bottle,” “No Scrubs,” and “Bye Bye Bye,” marks the film’s 25th anniversary.

It was 1994 when Disney’s animation first hit our cinema screens, introducing now-classic Elton John and Tim Rice [songs like “Circle of Life,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “Hakuna Matata,” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.”](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/a-complete-guide-to-all-the-songs-in-the-lion-king) Julie Taymor’s inventive stage adaptation followed in 1997 and is still a West End family favourite.

Follow Simba as he struggles with his destiny: to become king and rule the Pride Lands. The African wildlife and setting are beautifully brought to life with jaw-dropping puppetry, making *The Lion King* a magical first theatre experience for young audiences – and a nostalgic treat for older ones, too.

Mrs Doubtfire - LT - 1200

From *Mean Girls* to *The Devil Wears Prada* to *Mrs Doubtfire*, it's a fantastic time to catch your favourite film reborn as a London musical sensation.

*For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy* is to return to the West End next year. The critically acclaimed show will run at the [Garrick Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/garrick-theatre) from 29 February 2024 through 4 May 2024.

"I am thrilled by the prospect of *For Black Boys…* gracing the stage once more, delivering a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that has deeply resonated with both audiences and critics," playwright Ryan Calais Cameron said in a statement. "It is truly humbling to witness how this production has also propelled the careers of the first remarkable actors who breathed life into these characters. Observing their excellence on renowned stages and in high-profile projects is a source of immense pride. The opportunity to offer the roles to a new generation of actors brings profound joy. It is a testament to the ongoing dialogue sparked by *For Black Boys…* and a commitment to providing emerging talents with the chance to shine."

Nominated for Best New Play and Best Supporting Actor at the 2023 Olivier Awards, the play enjoyed full houses during its original run at the New Diorama Theatre, subsequent transfer to the Royal Court Theatre, and initial West End stint at the Apollo Theatre. Praised by critics and audiences alike, the production has garnered widespread acclaim, with notable fans including John Boyega, David Harewood, Daniel Kaluuya, Beverley Knight, Rapman, Stormzy, and Letitia Wright.

Drawing inspiration from Ntozake Shange's influential piece, *For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf,* *For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy* uses music, movement, storytelling, and verse, as six men collide and connect in a desperate quest for survival. Amidst father figures and fashion advice, lost loves and jollof rice, African empires and clandestine affairs, the narrative unfolds as six young Black men convene for group therapy, allowing their hearts and imaginations to roam freely through good days and bad.

8For Black Boys* features a set design by Anna Reid, lighting design by Rory Beaton, sound design and composition by Nicola T Chang, movement direction by Theophilus O. Bailey, musical direction and vocal arrangement by John Pfumojena, and casting by Isabella Odoffin. Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu directed the show's original run at the New Diorama Theatre. Casting will be announced at a later date.

For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue Gets Too Heavy  

__*For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy* returns to London’s West End in 2024 following three previously sold-out runs.__

Ryan Calais Cameron's award-winning production returns to London's West End next year for a limited nine-week run at the Garrick Theatre.

The weather outside may be frightful, but inside The Old Bauble Factory it’s delightful. If you’re looking for an exciting festive event to take the whole family to this winter, look no further than *[Wishmas](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/29857-wishmas-a-fantastical-christmas-adventure)*. The new immersive experience is in London for a limited eight-week period this Christmas. 

Your magical journey begins at a hidden-away venue underneath Waterloo Station, [The Old Bauble Factory](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/29857-wishmas-a-fantastical-christmas-adventure#venue). From the moment you walk through the doors, twinkly Christmas lights, jingly sleigh bells, and the sweet aroma of chocolate will greet you as you embark upon an adventure to save Christmas wishes.

## What is the story of *Wishmas*?

*Wishmas* is brought to life by an incredible group of live actors portraying ‘Wishkeepers’. With the help of the Wishmas Robins, the Wishkeeper’s job is to ensure every wish is safely transported and delivered to Father Christmas. See some of the Robins hard at work and join them on a journey through the skies.

Boarding the Wishmas Train feels much like any regular train you would travel on, but this one has a magical secret — it can fly! The train gives the feeling of movement with special effects and impressive window screens provided by LG's OLED and T-OLED. Watch a fantastic sequence through the windows with amazing views as you fly over London, past the iconic London Eye, and up above the clouds, where you will get a front-row view of the Northern Lights. 

As things take a dramatic turn, you and your group will work together to save Christmas and ensure no wish gets left behind. With a hint of magic and a cheery little song, you might even see some snow as you help all the wishes arrive safely at their destination.

## What to expect inside The Old Bauble Factory

Every room is well-themed and thought-out by the creative team, led by creative director Elgiva Field. Impressive lighting designs, sound effects, and Christmas-scented rooms will tingle your senses.

Even the waiting areas between the rooms have intricate details, so there’s always something to enjoy. One hallway, in particular, had signs to some interesting rooms, which included a Sleigh Depot, a Mince Pie Bakery, and a Beard Spa. 

Along the journey, your group will get involved with some interactive tasks where everyone can do their part to help locate and save the lost wishes. At the end of your journey, all ticket holders will see Father Christmas as part of the show and enjoy the Wishmas Market before they leave.
What are the different Wishmas experiences?

When the main story is over, everyone will get to explore the Wishmas Market, where you can purchase snacks and drinks, including products from premium partners Fortnum & Mason and Pip Organic. 

Your journey continues if you have the Full Wishmas experience or a Meet & Greet ticket. The latter will receive a private audience with Father Christmas, have their photo taken with him, and receive a special gift to take home (both for adults and children!). 

Meet & Greet and Full *Wishmas* Experience ticket holders can create their own bauble (after all, it is The Old Bauble Factory), where you can seal your own Christmas wish inside. It is a wonderful souvenir to take home and hang on your Christmas tree.

## Who can enjoy *Wishmas*?

*Wishmas* is a festive family adventure brought to life by the minds behind Secret Cinema, with immersive aspects and an engaging story that is recommended for children 10 and under and anyone who believes in the magic of Christmas. The venue is fully accessible to ensure everyone can enjoy the show. You won’t want to miss this exciting new immersive experience, which will surely be a seasonal favourite.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [13979]

Genre: Musical (US and AUS)

Hero: Joseph

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

[Poster] Joseph 13979

The London Palladium opened on 26 Dec. 1910. The 1955 television hit *Sunday Night at The London Palladium* cemented the public’s affection for the venue, and made stars of Bruce Forsyth, Norman Vaughan and Jimmy Tarbuck who hosted the show. 

From the early 1990s, the theatre housed longer runs of several large scale musical productions, starting with the [Jason Donovan](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/jason-donovan)-led revival of *Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat* in 1991. Owned by the Really Useful Theatres Group from 2000, Andrew Lloyd Webber has produced musical revivals of *The Sound of Music* in 2006 and *[The Wizard of Oz](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/the-wizard-of-oz)* in 2010, both of which cast their leading ladies through audience-voted talent shows broadcast on BBC1. 

After an absence of 29 years, pantomime returned to the Palladium in 2016, which has now become an annual Palladium Christmas tradition.

## London Palladium Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels – Stalls, Royal Circle and Upper Circle. In the Stalls, the view of the stage is slightly obscured by the overhang of the Royal Circle from Row S onwards, and the seats further back do suffer from a slightly lower ceiling. The seats are raked from Row D of the Stalls.

In the Royal Circle, the top of the stage is slightly obscured by the overhang of the Upper Circle in Row J onwards. The Royal Circle is raked and generally has an excellent view from all seats.

In the Upper Circle, the view from the central block of seats is still very good.
