Hallelujah! Sister Act is coming to Brighton
Welcome to Theatre Royal Brighton I want to take this chance to introduce myself as your new Theatre Director. I look forward to getting to know our wonderful audience and sharing with you all the exciting shows and projects we have coming up in the near future. Following our summer of planned closure, our restoration project continues in January as we carry on restoring our beautiful building while enhancing our customer experience. Whilst most completed improvements to date have taken place behind the scenes, we hope you are enjoying our newly renovated Royal Circle toilets (with a 50% increase of facilities in the ladies!) and the improved Wi-Fi system. Meanwhile, the restoration of our venue façade continues as a specialist team work hard to bring back the balcony and its columns to their original splendour. Fun facts; the Colonnade is 36m long with 850 unique parts, made of handcrafted terracotta, which is being made in Loughborough! Thank you for your continued understanding during this time; I hope you are as excited as we are to see the end result. We are delighted to present our new season What’s On guide with a whole host of shows on offer, from exciting drama to sparkling musicals and fun-filled family shows. We look forward to welcoming you to Theatre Royal Brighton soon.
