## The Crucible (2 September 2023)
There's a witch hunt beginning, and no one is safe. Hysteria engulfs the once tight-knit community of Salem, as neighbours, family members, and friends rush to implicate one another before they themselves are thrust into the spotlight. When one-third of the accused are executed, tensions run high, and false allegations mount, turning even the most steadfast villagers uncertain and paranoid. Local farmer, John Proctor (**Brian Gleeson**) must protect his wife (**Caitlin FitzGerald**) when a teenage girl hellbent on destroying their relationship (**Milly Alcock)** accuses her of witchcraft. Can the pair survive the trials that have ravaged the community, or will Abigail’s vengeful accusation claim two more victims?

## Oklahoma! (2 September 2023)
Winner of the Best Musical Revival at this year’s Olivier Awards, *Oklahoma!* is riding into the Sunset next month. Re-orchestrated and reimagined for the 21st century, this isn’t a replica of the apple-cheeked 1943 original. Without changing a single word of text, **Daniel Fish** brings the themes of sexism, consent, and sexuality to the forefront of the classic musical, bringing new life to the well-known and much-loved songs ‘I Can’t Say No’ and ‘The Surrey with a Fringe on Top’. Brooding farmhand Jud Fry, and cocksure cowboy Curly McLainall (*Nashville*’s **Sam Palladio**) compete to win the hand of beautiful farm girl Laurey Williams, but this is not a love story. This is a war, and a heart won’t be the only thing that breaks.

## Heathers (3 September 2023)
Schools out for Autumn! The cult classic musical won’t be returning to school next term, but there’s still a chance to cram in a re-sit. Driven by insecurity and the desire for status, Westerberg High’s resident nobody Veronica Sawyer has her life turned upside down when she’s adopted by the Heathers. The beautiful yet brutal clique rule the school with their devastating put-downs and killer outfits, and Veronica’s inclusion in the gang is everything she thinks she’s ever wanted until JD arrives. The mysterious trench coat wearing rebel with a taste for social justice (as well as 711 slushies) gives Veronica a new perspective on the school’s hierarchy. The pair soon start putting the world to rights, even if it means performing a few wrongs, after all, school can be a killer.

## The Wizard of Oz (3 September 2023)
Adaptations of L. Frank Baum's children's novel have been delighting families for almost a hundred years, and Nikolai Foster’s technicolour turn is no exception. Join Dorothy and her best friend Toto as they are swept away to the merry old world of Oz. Featuring the iconic original score from the Oscar-winning MGM film including, 'Over The Rainbow' and 'We’re Off To See The Wizard' with additional songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, Foster’s adaptation captures the heart of the original and amps it up for a modern audience. Starring multi-award-winning stand-up comedian, actor, and singer **Jason Manford**, alongside comic-actor and singer **Gary Wilmot** and founder, creative director and choreographer of Diversity, **Ashley Banjo**, you are sure to see plenty of stars when you take a trip to the other side of the rainbow.

## A Strange Loop (9 September 2023)
The loop is closing, but can Usher escape? The Pulitzer Prize-winning musical follows Usher, a queer, black artist as he navigates the intersections of race, sexuality, and creative ambition. Stuck in a job that he hates, yet so close to a job he craves (geographically speaking at least) Usher (by name and nature) aims to write a big gay American musical whilst appeasing tourists at the Lion King, but will his inner thoughts let him? Through wickedly dark humour, introspection, and poignant storytelling, *A Strange Loop* challenges conventional narratives and confronts the audience with questions of self-worth, authenticity, and the power of personal narratives.
