Email Newsletter: November 2008

Hello!

The New Theatre promises you a brilliant display of comedy, gossip, and music this November.  We rocket off with Victor Spinetti and his all-star secrets followed by a swirling catherine wheel of emotions and secrets in Frank Vickery's slick comedy Erogenous Zones.  Passions explode in the spectacular musical EVITA for two weeks before we round off the month with a sparkling adventure from the Cardiff Gang Show in Land of the Lost.  All this and an EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL OFFER just for you!

Forget the celeb mags which clutter up the supermarket shelves with their tales of Z-list soap stars, for the real juice we turn to legendary  Welsh comic and raconteur Victor Spinetti.  For one night only on Sunday 2 November hear tales of his life hobnobbing with such famous faces as The Beatles, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlene Dietrich, Peter Sellers, Sean Connery and many more.  Ready to share his hilarious anecdotes and backstage gossip, this award winning screen and theatre star is touring this wonderful show for the very last time.  Catch him while you can!

The week continues with Frank Vickery's slick comedy, Erogenous Zones starring Ian Watkins (H from Steps).  Forget love triangles, this is a love pentagon!  Five people become entangled in each other's lives with amusing and heartfelt consequences.  Best described as 'Cold Feet set in Cardiff', it's full of both Frank's trademark Welsh humour and his ear for authentic Welsh dialogue.  Erogenous Zones opens 4 November and is suitable for ages 16+ years.

EXCLUSIVE EMAIL OFFER: With the daily news spreading never-ending tales of doom and gloom, we want to CHEER WALES UP!  So we'd like to offer you the chance to see Frank Vickery's home-grown comedy Erogenous Zones for just £10.  The offer applies to 7.30pm performances between Tuesday - Friday in Stalls seats only.  Maximum of 7 seats per booker.  Book via THIS LINK (please choose Stalls seats option) or by calling 029 2087 8889.  Seats must be pre-booked as they are not available on the night.  (Further terms and conditions are at the bottom of this email.)

Passionate, charismatic and ambitious, Eva Peron was one of the most revered yet controversial figures of the twentieth century.  Her life story inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to pen what is arguably their masterpiece, EVITA.  With classic songs such as Don't Cry For Me Argentina, You Must Love Me and Another Suitcase in Another Hall the musical was acclaimed worldwide and even picked up an Oscar some 20 years after it was written!

In one of the most of coveted theatrical roles of all, Louise Dearman has received great notices for her performance with the Sunday Express' five star review saying she "offers the best sung Eva since Elaine Paige".  Co-starring with Louise is Seamus Cullen, a former Any Dream Will Do contender, hand-picked by Director Bill Kenwright to play Ché Guevara, the narrator of Eva's story.  Tickets have been selling strongly since they went on sale back in May, but some good seats remain - if you're quick!  So book now to avoid disappointment.  Catch the first performances of EVITA at the New for over a decade from 10  - 22 November.

November ends with a magical adventure courtesy of the Cardiff Scout and Guide Gang Show - Land of the Lost.  Follow two young explorers as they travel to a mystical world full of lost toys, music and magic.  Featuring songs from the hottest West End musicals such as Hairspray and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang alongside traditional Gang Show favourites this pre-Christmas family treat opens 26 November.

Well that ends another action packed month.  We'll be in touch later this month with news of five, yes FIVE, new shows for 2009 - including the huge hit Calendar Girls.  Keep an eye on your Inbox for all the latest news from the New.
