Tamzin Outhwaite is to star in Sweet Charity

Originally directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse, Sweet Charity premiered on Broadway in 1966, where it ran for over 600 performances. The production won the Tony Award for Best Choreography in the same year.

Sweet Charity follows the misadventures of love encountered by the gullible and guileless Charity Hope Valentine, a woman who always gives her heart and her dreams to the wrong man.

Tamzin Outhwaite is to star as Charity Hope Valentine.

Tickets are on sale now for performances from the 23rd April until 18th December at the Haymarket Theatre Royal from £23.00

One of the most successful plays of the season returns to the Haymarket Theatre Royal

In a year rich with diverse drama Sean Mathias’s 2009 production of Waiting For Godot for the Theatre Royal Haymarket proved one of the most successful plays of the season (indeed of any season) and broke all box office records for both the play and the theatre.

After a sold out national tour and an extended run in the West End, the Haymarket revives the production. Sean Mathias directs again with Ian McKellen and Ronald Pickup returning to their memorable roles as Estragon and Lucky.

Written by Samuel Beckett, Waiting For Godot exploded on to the London stage 50 years ago. It shocked as many people as it delighted. There had never been a play like it; indeed it was said that: “(Beckett) has achieved a theoretical impossibility — a play in which nothing happens, that yet keeps audiences glued to their seats.”

Today Waiting for Godot is accepted as one of the most significant plays of the 20th century.

Two old friends meet to converse, joke and argue with themselves as they wait through one day and then another for the mysterious Godot…

The new run of Waiting For Godot is booking from 21st January 2010 until 3rd April 2010.

Tickets range from £20.00 to £60.50 per person.
