What do you get when you combine a soul singing West End Star with your favourite Christmas classics? You get Soul Holiday.

“My memories of Christmas live in the music that I listened to while making Christmas dinner with my Grandma Mary. The songs that rang through the house while we unwrapped gifts and prayed together over the food. I wanted to create an album that had all the fixings of a Christmas dinner but with a healthy helping of soul. A Christmas album that you would want to listen to even if it wasn't Christmas. In a world that is in much need of some joy, let's start with the soul.”

On 3rd December Marisha Wallace, currently starring as Effie White in the hugely successful Dreamgirls, will perform 2 intimate concerts, featuring the tracks from Soul Holiday plus a handful of other seasonal favourites. You’ll hear her unique, soul-drenched take on "Do You Hear What I Hear" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas", plus "Joyful Joyful" from the movie Sister Act 2 and lots more. There will also be a special guest* or two dropping in to join the party.

*Rachel Tucker will be our special guest for the 5pm show - and Tyrone Huntley will be a guest at both shows!

A MIRRORED MONET

The man behind the masterpiece.

Paris, 1916. The painter Claude Monet struggles to complete the commission that will define his legacy: The Water Lilies — a project on which his survival depends, with food and essential supplies at stake as the First World War encroaches. Plagued by creative block, he retreats into memory, revisiting his early artist days with contemporaries Renoir and Manet, and his muse, Camille Doncieux.

Inspired by letters and diaries from Monet and his peers, A Mirrored Monet immerses audiences in the cafés, studios, and salons of Belle Époque Paris, with music and projections bringing the era vividly to life.

This dramatic new musical by composer/lyricist/dramatist Carmel Owen stars Jeff Shankley (Starlight Express, Cats) as Monet and Dean John-Wilson (Your Lie in April: The Musical, The King and I) as Young Monet.
