Belgrade Theatre starts New Year with music, comedy and dance shows

Circus of Horrors
The Belgrade Theatre’s brand new Spring 2011 Season kicks off in style with a series of music and dance shows including The Sensational 60s Experience, This is Now, Late Night Music and Flawless in Chase the Dream. The Circus of Horrors will also take to the stage with their new show The Four Chapters from Hell.



The Searchers
On Thurs 13 Jan The Sensational 60s Experience brings together three of the most influential bands of the 60s in a live show hosted by Alan Mosca from Freddie & The Dreamers and featuring The Tremeloes, Herman’s Hermits and The Union Gap.


On Fri 14 Jan dance duo New Art Club bring their unique combination of contemporary dance and stand up comedy to the B2 auditorium with their new show This is Now, which takes audiences on a nostalgic journey back to the 80s. Taking the very first Now That’s What I Call Music album (1983) as its inspiration, the show deconstructs the classic music of the era, discusses the very notion of nostalgia and ties it all up with some silly dances and outrageous costumes.

New Art Club
In 2009 New Art Club was nominated for a Total Theatre Award following the hugely successful run of This is Now at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in 2010 they won the Edinburgh Spotlight Best Comedy Award for their show The Big Bag of Boom.

Following the success of The Asylum and The Day of the Dead shows, The Circus of Horrors returns to the venue’s Main Stage with The Four Chapters from Hell on Friday 14 Jan to celebrate its 15th bloody year.

This brand new show comprises 26 of the greatest and most bizarre circus acts including a dare devil flying trapeze artist, a vampiric crow woman suspended only by her hair, whirlwind roller skaters, sword swallowers, Voodoo Warriors and knife throwers.


The Mustard and Blood series of late night gigs comes to a close on Fri 21 & Sat 22 Jan with a special performance by the Mustard and Blood Band, which is made up of members of bands from previous and future Mustard and Blood ventures. Together they will be performing a tribute to The Bands' The Last Waltz.
Flawless
Looking forward to February, StreetDance 3D and Britain’s Got Talent stars Flawless will be bringing their brand new dance show Chase the Dream to the Main Stage on Fri 18 and Sat 19 Feb.


Tickets for all these shows are available now from the box office on 024 7655 3055 or via http://www.belgrade.co.uk/.
