42nd Street, the legendary Broadway musical theatre classic, is a ‘glorious’ (Express) and ‘utterly moreish extravaganza of glitz’ (Times).  Telling the story of Peggy Sawyer, a talented young performer with stars in her eyes who gets her big break on Broadway, this is the largest ever staging of the Tony Award-winning musical and it was filmed live at the magnificent Theatre Royal in the heart of London’s West End.  Starring national treasure Bonnie Langford as Dorothy Brock and featuring iconic songs 42nd Street, We’re In The Money and Lullaby of Broadway, this is pure magic on the big screen.

Cast: Jonas Kaufmann, Sondra Radvanovsky, Carlos Álvarez

Conductor: Antonio Pappano | Director: David McVicar

Sung in Italian with English subtitles

Jonas Kaufmann headlines David McVicar’s spectacular staging, under the baton of long-time collaborator Antonio Pappano – who conducts Giordano’s epic historical drama of revolution and forbidden love in his last production as Music Director of The Royal Opera.

Sadly, Carlos Álvarez has withdrawn from all performances of Andrea Chénier. To accommodate the revised stage schedule, the cinema capture will now be filmed on 05 June 2024, and the role of Carlo Gérard will be performed by Amartuvshin Enkhbat on this date.

Andrea Chénier will still be broadcast via satellite at 7.15pm on 11th June 2024 as previously advised.

Choreography: Kate Prince Music: based on the songs of Sting

Message In A Bottle, the acclaimed dance theatre production by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, set to the music of Grammy Award-winning artist Sting, has been filmed for cinema release in partnership with Sadler's Wells and Universal Music UK. The international refugee crisis is at the centre of this production – an imagined story about one displaced family, and a universal story of loss, fear, survival, hope and love. Songs including 'Every Breath You Take', 'Roxanne', 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic' and 'Fields of Gold' feature in new arrangements.    

Nye

A new play by Tim Price directed by Rufus Norris.

Michael Sheen plays Nye Bevan in a surreal and spectacular journey through the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state and created the NHS.

Confronted with death, Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan’s deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey back through his life; from childhood to mining underground, Parliament and fights with Churchill.

Written by Tim Price and directed by Rufus Norris (Small Island), this epic new Welsh fantasia will be broadcast live from the National Theatre.

In a special event, the screening of this poignant film will be enhanced by a unique exhibit from the We'll Meet Again Museum. Key war items from the museum will be on display in the cinema, allowing attendees to engage directly with historical artifacts relevant to the era depicted in the film. This will provide a tangible connection to the past, enriching the viewing experience.

Adding to the authenticity, the owners of the We'll Meet Again Museum will attend the screening dressed in full period uniform. Their presence and attire will help set the scene, giving viewers a deeper appreciation of the historical context.

The event will also feature a talk and Q&A session with Dr. Cary Edwards, who will discuss the film's relevance to Boston. This discussion will likely highlight local historical ties to the war efforts portrayed in the film, offering audiences a unique local perspective on the global impact of World War II.

Film Synopsis:
