SUMMARY:Million Dollar Quartet - Barn Theatre Cirencester
DESCRIPTION:Darren Day stars in Million Dollar Quartet\nThe Barn Theatre in Cirencester has announced that Darren Day will be starring as Sam Phillips in Million Dollar Quartet this summer. \nThe show was inspired by Elvis Presley\, Johnny Cash\, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. \nIt first played at Barn Theatre in 2022 and is returning to the stage due to overwhelming public demand. \nThe show has a book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux. This production will be directed by Jonathan O’Boyle. \nFurther casting and creatives will be announced shortly. \nIt’s set on the night of 04 December 1956. The four men who walked into a recording studio in Memphis that night went on to shape rock’n’roll music\, changing the direction of popular music forever. \nMillion Dollar Quartet includes the classic songs Blue Suede Shoes\, Fever\, Walk The Line\, Hound Dog. \n \nDarren Day’s musical theatre resume is extensive\, following after winning Opportunity Knocks back in the 80s. \n“I genuinely couldn’t think of more perfect casting\, ” Barn Theatre’s CEO and Artistic Director Iwan Lewis says. \n“Sam Phillips is an iconic figure who played such a pivotal role in shaping the music industry\, and to have this role played by Darren Day\, who has himself taken on some of the most defining roles in musical theatre\, feels incredibly fitting. Our audiences at the Barn are in for a real treat.” \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Notting Hell: The Greatest Love Story in the Underworld - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The Wardrobe Theatre’s rom-com parody Notting Hell: The Greatest Love Story in the Underworld\, will be returning to the Old Market theatre for a four-week run this summer. \nThe hit show has had audiences asking for its return ever since its debut as the theatre’s Christmas show in 2024. \nThe original production\, a fast paced and smart alternative comedy from The Wardrobe Theatre was written and devised by the company. \nThe comedy promises audiences a “riotous” night of comedy which is “surreal\, but nice”. \nEternal pain and suffering\, never-ending torment\, ceaseless misery – falling in love isn’t always easy. When a foppishly handsome owner of a quaint bookshop falls for a jaw-droppingly gorgeous international mega-celeb\, little does he know he’ll soon find himself deep in the fiery pits of the underworld. Surrounded by horses\, hounds and facing off against the cursed spawn of Satan himself\, finding true love this summer is going to take a lot of sacrifice… human sacrifice. \nGeneral sale opens at 10am on Friday 27 February 2026
