WELCOME TO THE<br />
<strong>BROOKSIDE</strong> <strong>THEATRE</strong><br />
Normally our Artistic Director - and my husband - Jai,<br />
writes these but I thought I would take over this time as<br />
the news I want to share with you is very personal to Jai.<br />
For all of his tireless work to bring Romford’s its first ever<br />
theatre as well as the relentless work he has undertaken<br />
over the last 8 years to restore the War Memorial<br />
buildings, Jai has been awarded the British Empire medal<br />
by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. To say we are very<br />
proud of this recognition is an understatement and it is so<br />
well deserved. Since 2011, Jai has given up his time<br />
completely voluntarily to restore these buildings to make<br />
sure that the memories of those who made the ultimate<br />
sacrifice are not forgotten. I am sure you will join all of us<br />
here in congratulating Jai and we hope you will continue<br />
to support his hard work by coming to see our shows.<br />
We have some very exciting in-house productions coming<br />
up including Sondheim’s ‘killer’ musical ASSASSINS this<br />
Easter, HI-DE-HI live on stage in June, the heavenly hit<br />
musical NUNSENSE in <strong>Jul</strong>y, the family favourite OLIVER! in<br />
September and the world premiere of THE ELEPHANT<br />
MAN THE MUSICAL.<br />
Following on from last year’s critically-acclaimed<br />
production of A Christmas Carol, this coming festive<br />
season we are proud to present PETER PAN, a musical<br />
adaptation of the classic fairytale by J.M. Barrie.<br />
We welcome back world renown psychic mediums, Derek<br />
Acorah & Tony Stockwell as well as our old friend, Peter<br />
Gill with two shows later in the year; MEET TOMMY<br />
ATKINS and THE ROCK AND ROLL SHOWDOWN. New<br />
shows to the theatre include BIN & GONE; the life story of<br />
3-2-1’s Ted Rogers told by his son Danny as well as the<br />
hilarious comedienne TanyaLee Davis with her stand-up<br />
show, ACTUAL SIZE.<br />
As always the theatre has a host of top tribute shows on<br />
offer including THE ROD STEWART EXPERIENCE, THE<br />
STEVIE WONDER SHOW and GIMME ABBA to name but a<br />
few. We are also thrilled to welcome WHOLE LOTTA LED<br />
and THE ROLLING CLONES for the first time to Romford.<br />
As well as all the new shows, we are also delighted to be<br />
starting an exciting new theatre academy for children<br />
aged 3 to 16 later in the year as well as offering week-long<br />
musical theatre workshops in the school holidays with<br />
the first one being at the end of <strong>Jul</strong>y!<br />
“Stunning production<br />
values and a great<br />
new venue. Seriously<br />
recommended.”<br />
- Time Out<br />
“By far the best<br />
community<br />
theatre in Essex.”<br />
- Anita Bond, Director<br />
“Great venue,<br />
putting some of<br />
the pride back<br />
into Romford.”<br />
- Audience Member<br />
“A marvellous little<br />
theatre in the heart<br />
of Romford. We the<br />
residents of Havering<br />
should support this<br />
little treasure.”<br />
- Cllr. Melvin Wallace<br />
“Cannot recommend<br />
the theatre enough. If<br />
only other theatres<br />
were run with as<br />
much care.”<br />
- Pat Abernethy, Actor<br />
“...easily meets West<br />
End standards!”<br />
- Hornchurch Life<br />
“A real little gem in<br />
the heart of Romford.”<br />
- Lorna Waters, Time FM<br />
“Cracking venue<br />
with a committed<br />
team, working hard<br />
to make a great<br />
local theatre.”<br />
- Josh Boyd-Rochford, Agent<br />
“The Romford community<br />
are in for a real treat.”<br />
- Romford Recorder<br />
So you can see that <strong>2019</strong> is shaping up to a fantastic year<br />
here at the theatre and we hope to see you all soon!<br />

A <strong>BROOKSIDE</strong> <strong>THEATRE</strong> PRODUCTION<br />
“Everybody’s got the right to be<br />
happy.” But what if that means<br />
assassinating the President of the<br />
USA?<br />
Winner of 5 Tony Awards, ASSASSINS<br />
has been referred to as "the most<br />
controversial musical ever written". A<br />
surprisingly witty and moving<br />
theatrical tour-de-force with<br />
intelligently brilliant lyrics and<br />
extraordinarily beautiful music.<br />
Produced by the team that brought<br />
you A Christmas Carol and Little Shop<br />
Of Horrors, this dazzling production<br />
gives new meaning to the phrase<br />
"killer musical" as it delves into the<br />
lives, loves and lunacy of nine people<br />
who assassinated - or attempted to<br />
assassinate - the most powerful man<br />
on Earth, some with greater degrees<br />
of success than others, but all sharing<br />
in the desire to pull the trigger in the<br />
twisted pursuit of that illusive<br />
American Dream.<br />
Generally dismissed as maniacs and<br />
misfits, this group of murderers and<br />
would-be killers have little in<br />
common with each other, and<br />
nothing in common with the rest of<br />
us... or do they? Sondheim’s<br />
signature blend of intelligently<br />
stunning lyrics and beautiful music<br />
combine to create a disturbingly dark<br />
musical comedy not to be missed.<br />
The show contains strong language and<br />
mature themes that are not suitable for young<br />
audiences.<br />

an exceptional man, THE ELEPHANT<br />
MAN is an unforgettable and<br />
compelling new musical based on<br />

his time at the London Hospital and<br />
his friendship with renowned<br />
Whitechapel surgeon, Dr Frederick<br />
Treves, THE ELEPHANT MAN<br />

As Merrick is introduced to London<br />
society, he slowly evolves from an<br />
object of pity to a favourite amongst<br />
the gentry and literati but can he<br />
ever realise his ultimate dream, to<br />
live life like every other man or will<br />
normality prove impossible?<br />
