Mischief Movie Night, the improvised movie live on stage which arrived in Cardiff’s New Theatre on Wednesday, is the latest production from Mischief Theatre. Nominated for the 2018 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and coming from a sold-out West End run, this is a laugh-out-loud show not to miss. The show runs for the rest of this week (18 – 22 July).

Pop star and former EastEnders actor Michelle Gayle, and Benidorm and Coronation Street star Alice Barlow will play the roles of Alison and Kat respectively in Son of a Preacher Man – a new musical that plays at Cardiff’s New Theatre next week from 15 – 19 May as part of a major UK tour. Directed by Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood, it features the soulful music of Dusty Springfield.

New Theatre Cardiff have announced a further FOUR stars for this year’s beast of a pantomime, Beauty and the Beast with Ben Richards, Danny Bayne, Adam C Booth and Stephanie Webber joining the cast of Wales’ biggest pantomime, which opens on Saturday 8 December.
