Once grande dames of Hollywood, by 1962 arch-rivals Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were in danger of becoming has-beens. Then an opportunity came along: to appear together in a new movie called Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? The play depicts the two stars in adjacent dressing rooms between takes on the set of “Baby Jane”. While Joan manages her anxiety by lacing her Pepsi with vodka and signing photographs for her beloved fans, Bette chain smokes and moans on her lovelife, and her ability to pick a decent script, never a decent man. Behind the bitching and the practical jokes, we see each woman’s insecurities and regrets, and their rivalry is revealed to be underpinned by grudging respect as they attempt to identify their new roles in life as well as in their careers.

Charles Dickens’ 'A Christmas Carol' has become a seasonal classic for generations. We follow the story of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, his much put upon clerk Bob Cratchit, and the visitations he witnesses one fateful Christmas Eve. First, his long deceased partner Jacob Marley warns the stubbornly reluctant Scrooge of his fate unless he changes his ways, before one by one, the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come teach him valuable lessons. Moved by what he learns, Scrooge realises the error of his ways, embracing generosity, compassion, and the true spirit of Christmas. This new adaptation by Peter Scofield brings the story to life on stage

Swing into the Christmas season with The Rat Pack and their famous Christmas Concert. The Official UK No: 1 Tribute show as voted by The Agents Association of Great Britain for three successive years, arrives direct From London’s Leicester Square Theatre, The 02 and a Royal Command Performance. The acclaimed David Alacey (Lovejoy & Inspector Alleyn) stars as Frank Sinatra alongside West End favourite Tim Harwood as Dean Martin. They are joined by the star of the hit BBC show “Jamie Johnson FC” Jim Whitley as Sammy Davis Jnr in the original Rat Pack show, now celebrating its 25th record breaking year. Together they amaze audiences with their recreation of a vintage Christmas at The Sands with Sinatra, Martin and Davis in this sensational show which brings the style, glamour and excitement of the Las Vegas heyday to vivid life. Including all the great hits - My Way, Mr Bojangles, New York New York, Amore, Fly Me To The Moon and seasonal classics such as Winter Wonderland, Let It Snow and of course White Christmas. This yuletide treat for all the family, also features the fabulous Buddy Greco All-stars under the direction of BBC Musical Director Mac Shone at the Piano. Greco who was a member of the real Pack in Vegas and a friend of Marilyn Monroe (having spent the famous last weekend at Lake Tahoe with Sinatra and Marilyn) gave the show his seal of appoval saying “These guys are as close as anyone will ever get to my dear friends, it was just like being back at The Sands” He also adds an authentic touch of Rat Pack style to the show, by making a specially recorded guest appearance. Just as Frank, Dean and Sammy were joined on stage at The Sands by surprise Special Guests, that element of theatrical magic is recreated in this show with appearances by the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Nancy Sinatra and Liza Minnelli adding even more glamour to this glitzy production. Magical Christmas Memories really are made of this!

Prams and buggies are not permitted in the auditorium, but we have a space to store them.

Roll up, roll up! The circus is coming to town, where magic, mayhem, porridge and pantomime collide! Join us next Christmas at The Victoria Hall for a BRAND-NEW spectacular pantomime adventure, Goldilocks and the Three Bears! Step right up and meet Dame Betty Barnum, proud owner of Betty’s Big Top Circus, and her loveable son Silly Billy, the wannabe magician whose tricks don’t always go quite to plan! Their star performer Goldilocks keeps the crowds cheering with her golden voice, but trouble is brewing beneath the big top. The wicked Ringmaster Baroness Bonkersworth has her eye on the next star attraction for her menacing menagerie and the three cuddly bears of the forest are top of her list! Can Goldilocks and her friends save the bears and the circus from the Baroness’s dastardly plans? With spectacular dazzling costumes, toe-tapping tunes and barrels of laughter, next year’s panto promises fun for all the family.
