What’s On | From December 2023
Mirror, mirror on the wall, this year’s panto has it all!
Welcome to Aylesbury Waterside Theatre I feel hugely privileged to join the Waterside as the new Theatre Director. Although I haven’t been here long, it’s clear to me that it’s a very special venue with a team dedicated to bringing great performances and events to Aylesbury. And on that note... we have another jam-packed season of musical big hitters, like SIX and Calendar Girls the Musical, alongside the comedy chops of Tom Allen and Leigh Francis. And as always, we have a stellar line-up of music with UK Pink Floyd, Whitney Queen of the Night, and The Simon & Garfunkel Story all coming to Aylesbury to welcome in the New Year. Later in the year we’re excited to support Rambert Dance launch their new tour, Peaky Blinders. With an iconic soundtrack played by a live band on-stage, this is an exceptional production premiering here before its extensive national tour. Mark your diaries, it’s a highlight of the year! We’re also continuing to bring a great line-up of events in the Norman Bragg Studio. Since its relaunch, we’ve introduced new events and initiatives, and there’s more in store. From burlesque and karaoke to great programmes such as Unsigned, giving local bands a great platform to perform. There’s something for everyone, so check out the programme on pages 27-33. But before we close out the year we have our highly anticipated pantomime, this year Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs starring James Bye. Expect the usual mischief and mayhem from Andy Collins, as well as magic and sparkle that makes panto a special time of the year at the Waterside. This year we will be collecting donations for Florence Nightingale Hospice and Youth Concern. Their incredible work is only possible through fundraising so please dig deep, if you can. The team and I look forward to welcoming you to the Waterside Theatre very soon.
Grant Brisland, Theatre Director
We are delighted to welcome you to our venue, where we want everyone to enjoy the show. With that in mind, we politely ask that you show consideration to your fellow audience members, who have come to enjoy the performances on-stage. We all have a part to play in making sure the theatre is a fantastic experience for all – you can help by ensuring the professionals on-stage are the only people entertaining us with their performances, and being kind to our dedicated staff, who are here to keep everyone safe. Anti-social behaviour towards our staff or other customers will not be tolerated.
Triumph at the 2023 Buckinghamshire Business Awards! We are delighted to share that we were the proud winners of two categories at the 2023 Bucks Business Awards: Community Champion and Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure Business of the Year. We have had the pleasure of hosting the annual awards since 2012, but this year the occasion was extra special as we found ourselves as finalists.
Rambert’s Peaky Blinders
Theatre Manager, Bekki Short said of the success: ‘This sort of recognition is hugely meaningful to the whole team. We are devoted to delivering the very best experience to our audiences and community outreach is something we work tirelessly on, and are extremely proud of.’ Bekki continued: ‘These accolades are so appreciated by the team, not least because of the incredibly tough competition. We are lucky to be part of a thriving local business community and look forward to sharing our success with customers over the coming months, and indeed years. It was a night we will all remember for a long time.’ The awards fall during a record-breaking year where audience numbers have so far exceeded over 223k visitors.
