Bagz to Riches cabaret comedy @ Arts Theatre, Nottingham
Nottingham Arts Theatre, George St, Nottingham, GB"Lock up ya grandads!
Join Baga Chipz - the international drag superstar and RuPaul's Drag Race icon - at Nottingham Arts Theatre as she embarks on her autumn nationwide tour. Star of stage and screen, Baga is coming close to twenty years in showbusiness, and wants to celebrate with those who made it possible...YOU! The public. This is a show not to be missed, and a love letter to all of those who have supported her throughout her amazing career.
Get ready for a jam-packed night of outrageous stand-up comedy, untold stories, anecdotes, memories and of course... the music; the music that has shaped Baga into the performer she is today, from disco to power ballads, big band show tunes to the musicals.
Expect the same old Baga being as crass and blue as ever, live and unfiltered! This is a story of transformation from council estate princess to the nation's most loveable tart. A true Bagz to Riches story. After the success of last year's tour 'Chip Off the Old Block' it was only natural to bring back by popular demand Baga's partner in crime, comedian and vocal powerhouse TANYA HYDE. Expect duets from ABBA to Bananarama, Wicked to Chicago and the history of a twenty year friendship. A camp old time of sequins, big hair, show business and cabaret! Including tributes to friends past and present, we suggest ya bring a hanky!
If you've seen Baga before you will know this isn't a show for the fainthearted or easily offended; NO-ONE is safe!
So let's have a good old knees up, belly laugh til a little bit of wee comes out and get you dancing in the aisles! This is a show you will remember for life. This is the story of Bagz to RICHES!"Join me to sample some drag cabaret. I have seat H18

"Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.
Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy."Adapted by Martin Crimp (Cyrano de Bergerac) from the original French play of 1666, the themes of truth vs social norms are still relatable today.

Till the Stars Come Down @ Nottingham Playhouse
Nottingham Playhouse, Wellington Circus, NG1 5AF, Nottingham, GB"It’s Sylvia and Marek’s big day and the Stone family have gathered in Mansfield. The bride, her sisters and aunties are getting their glam on and everyone’s on their best behaviour. For now. But once the vows have been made and the drinks start flowing, deep-seated family resentments begin to bubble up. When secrets start spilling out, alliances shift, and by the end of the night, nothing will ever be quite the same again. Funny, relatable and deeply moving, this brilliant night out explores what happens when we’re forced to choose between family, and love.
Beth Steel’s Olivier-nominated, uproariously funny family drama comes to Nottingham for the first time in this regional premiere."Buy Your Own Ticket Here for this final show of the 3 week run.
