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 />

WORLD<br />

PREMIERE<br />

‘Tis true, my form is something odd<br />

but blaming me is blaming God<br />

Could I create myself anew<br />

I would not fail in pleasing you.”<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 />

explores the man behind the legend.<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 />
