WHAT: JEREMY VINE - WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
WHERE: SUTTON COLDFIELD TOWN HALL
WHEN: SEPTEMBER 24
Jeremy Vine increasingly finds himself asking “What the hell is going on?”. He
explains that in a world where it is easy for information and misinformation to
become muddled due to the sheer volume, people are becoming more reliant on
anecdotes to tell a story.
The show will see the popular broadcaster explore some of the 25,000 questions
his daily BBC Radio 2 show the Jeremy Vine Show has received from listeners.
Get ready to laugh and cry as Jeremy tries to make sense of a world that
increasingly makes no sense at all!
Jeremy will be doing a pre-event book signing in the Sir Doug Ellis lounge bar
from 6pm, and a Q&A session will follow the talk. For more details visit

WHAT: HAIRSPRAY!
WHERE: BIRMINGHAM HIPPODROME
WHEN: SEPTEMBER 27 TO OCTOBER 2
The international musical phenomenon Hairspray returns to Birmingham
Hippodrome this month following its postponement in March. After breaking
box office records and delighting audiences in the West End, on Broadway and
on the big screen since 1988, this smash hit musical-comedy has quite the legacy.
Welcome to the 60s, where everyone’s grooving to a brand-new sound! Enter
our vivacious heroine Tracy Turnblad, who has big hair, a big heart, and big
dreams to dance her way onto national TV, and into the heart of teen idol Link
Larkin. When Tracy becomes a local star, she is able to use her newfound fame
to fight for liberation, tolerance, and interracial unity in Baltimore. But can she
win equality – and Link’s heart – without denting her ‘do?
This fun-filled, feel good show is bursting with show-stopping numbers, dazzling
costumes, and dizzying dance routines that you can’t help but shimmy to! For
