Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story (3rd to 7th March)
Over 20 years ago I first reviewed The Buddy Holly Story, without knowing anything about the life and death of Buddy Holly. A huge celebration of lives cut short.
What’s in a Name? (11th to 14th March)
Underlying tensions are exposed when Vincent and Anna reveal what they will name their child. This Birmingham Rep production of the hit French comedy drama comes to The Alexandra as part of its first UK tour.

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (Cancelled)
The hit West End musical based on a true story lands in Birmingham with Layton Williams as Jamie and Shane Richie as Hugo/Loco Chanelle.
The Woman in Black (Cancelled)
The Alexandra says:
The Woman in Black combines the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir. The formula delivers an evening of unremitting drama, transporting the audience into a terrifying and ghostly world.

As stage legends go Riverdance is up there. This production is reimagined for its 25th anniversary.

Dial M for Murder (Cancelled)
Tom Chambers leads a new version of the classic story.
Footloose (Moved to 14th to 19th September)
The Alexandra says:
Based on the 1980s screen sensation which took the world by storm, Footloose sizzles with spirit, fun and the best in UK musical talent. With cutting edge modern choreography, you’ll enjoy classic 80s hits including Holding Out for a Hero, Almost Paradise, Let’s Hear It For The Boy and of course the unforgettable title track Footloose.

Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em (Cancelled)
Accident prone Frank Spencer returns to the stage played by Joe Pasquale as the 1970s comedy comes to life.
Once (Cancelled)
The Alexandra says:
Once tells the uplifting yet yearning story of a part-time Dublin guitarist busker (who works by day in his dad’s Hoover repair shop) who falls unexpectedly in love with a young Czech immigrant fellow musician. As we follow their relationship across five short days, big changes happen to both of them in little ways.
