Far more than just a science fiction/fantasy novelist, Neil Gaiman's storytelling prowess has taken the world by storm, and it appears that he is far from finished. Having published over 20 novels including the hit best-seller American Gods, Coraline, Neverwhere and Stardust, he is also celebrated for creating the graphic novel series Sandman, winning praise from the horror king himself, Stephen King.

Birmingham, Alabama natives St Paul and the Broken Bones blend tight horn lines and Southern-fried soul to form music that's buzzing with electricity. As such, their live shows are no sit-down affairs and front man Paul Janeway brings the gospel-soaked goodness of his vocals to stage with the energy of a young James Brown.

Winner of 6 Tony Awards

November 28 - December 3, 2023

A Broadway phenomenon since its inception in 1975, Chicago puts the BAD in, well bad-ass dames. A scorching musical satire on celebrity and crime, Chicago is a fearless portrayal of the pursuit of infamy that rings true in any decade. Set in 1920s Chicago, the tale focuses on two women both accused of murdering their lovers, and their insidious journey to freedom, justice be damned. The world's longest musical revival is currently on a hugely successful North American tour, so break out the fish-nets, tap shoes and practice your jazz hands!
