SUMMARY:Thespians
DESCRIPTION:THESPIANS – ANCIENT GREECE THE MUSICAL \nMISCHIEF\, the team behind the multi award-winning The Play That Goes Wrong\, rewrite ancient history with a brand-new musical comedy\, THESPIANS\, the first musical created by ‘the funniest theatre troupe in Britain’ (The Telegraph). \n534 BC. Greece’s smallest island is battling to avoid defeat in a nationwide prayer competition set up by a thin-skinned tyrant – where the loser is put to death. All is going dreadfully until Thespis accidentally invents acting\, leading to the world’s first play and the origins of theatre as we know it! \nStep into the amphitheatre\, leave your troubles in the foyer\, and escape into Ancient Greece as it bursts into song\, with a thrilling plot\, a love story worthy of Aphrodite\, and enough laughter to fill the Acropolis. THESPIANS is an uplifting\, hilarious\, and timely reminder of the power of empathy and stepping into someone else’s sandals. \nWritten by Jonathan Sayer (co-writer of The Play That Goes Wrong\, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery) and Ed Zanders (musical director Mischief Movie Night)\, do not miss this ancient prescription for modern day laughter packed with comedy\, chaos and choreography that will have every mortal in your household aching with laughter. \nLimited tour from May 2026 for only 12 weeks opening at Mercury Theatre\, Colchester. If you thought something funny happened on the way to the forum\, wait until you hear what happened enroute to the amphitheatre! \nAvoid tragedy\, get comedy tickets today!

SUMMARY:No\, No Nanette
DESCRIPTION:The legendary and light-hearted musical comedy “No\, No Nanette” runs at the Headgate Theatre in Colchester in May. Originally premiered in 1925\, “No\, No\, Nanette” was the blockbuster musical of a century ago\, full of romance\, wacky comedy\, singing and dancing all based around Vincent Youman’s tune-filled score which yielded the song that defined an era “Tea for Two”. \nOur production will be giving the show a slightly different edge\, with Andrew Hodgson directing the show in collaboration with Maestro Phil Toms as our M.D. and the brilliant Amanda Powell as our choreographer. The large cast of 25 performers is a mix of familiar Platform faces and several newcomers to the Platform family. We are thrilled to welcome Hannah Ambrose in the title role\, playing opposite Sam Carbonero as Tom\,with Graham Bowden as Jimmy\, Caroline Fritz as Sue\, Gareth Gwyn Jones as Billy\, Jayne Sheeran as Lucille and Kim Anderson as Pauline. Helen McCraw\, Jade Tournay-Godfrey\, and Naomi Carter are Flora\, Betty and Winnie whose arrival at Jimmy’s seaside cottage\, cause all the comic mis-understandings. Completing the cast are a fabulous ensemble consisting of: Joe Fusi\, Adam Duarte Dias\, Phil Ager\, Ed Mehen\, Elia Teatino\, Koralia Salacuri\, Chrissie James\, Nikki McCarron\, Barbara Ryan\, Fiona Bocking\, Dave and Dawn King\, Sally Leung\, John Davies and Lisa Pordham. \nTickets will go on sale soon so watch out for details\, and make a date to come and “Take a Little One Step” to see this delightful show! \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/905397572307059/?event_time_id=905399348973548
