Assassins, a musical by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, directed by Jamie Lloyd, from 21 November 2014 to 7 March 2015.

Buyer and Cellar, a comedy by Jonathan Tolins, starring Michael Urie, from 11 March to 2 May 2015.

Michael Urie is best known for his appearances in 'Ugly Betty', where he played the role of Marc St James. (Public booking is still to be announced).

The Menier Chocolate Factory have also announced that An Evening with Joan Plowright will take place on 14 September 2014. Dame Joan will be joined on stage by director Richard Digby Day and will discuss her long and distinguished career - from her early days, to her rise to stardom in London and on Broadway.
