Masters of storytelling Northern Ballet returns with the extraordinary story of Anne Lister – better known as Gentleman Jack.

Often described as ‘the first modern lesbian’, it was only after her death, when her secret diaries were decoded, that a truly unique (and somewhat scandalous) life was revealed. Anne lived and loved as she desired, not as 19th century society expected her to.

In a world determined to hold women back, Anne made her own rules and lived life on her own terms. Ambition without fear. Love without compromise.

Inspiring biographies, novels, a hit TV series and now a ballet, Anne’s story leaps from page to stage in this thrilling new production. With striking choreography by award-winning choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, bold costumes, creative storytelling, and new live music by Peter Salem, Gentleman Jack paints a modern portrait of a woman ahead of her time.

Gentleman Jack is a co-production with Finnish National Opera and Ballet

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CHRISTINA AGUILERA

After taking the West End by storm – where it became summer 2025’s biggest hit, selling out night after night – Burlesque A BIG New Musical is coming to the Alhambra Theatre.

From executive producer Christina Aguilera and written by Steven Antin, based on the hit movie, Burlesque invites you to a club like no other: a hidden world beneath the city lights where sequins sparkle, seduction shimmers and lives can change in the flick of a feather boa.

When Ali arrives in New York searching for the mother she never knew, she stumbles upon a dazzling underground scene alive with music, movement, and mystery. Drawn into this intoxicating world, she begins to uncover her extraordinary voice – and finds an unexpected family of dreamers, misfits and schemers who will change her life forever.

Set in a greasy 1950’s garage-diner in the American Mid-West, where the dreams and passions of a smalltown are shattered by the arrival of a handsome and enigmatic stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust and revenge.

Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling through dance combines with one of the most passionately dramatic scores ever written, featuring Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite (after Bizet’s Carmen), to create a dance thriller that will ignite your senses and leave you breathless.

ALHAMBRA

Twelve Angry Men has been hailed ‘the classiest, most intelligent drama playing in the West End’. It brings the 1957 three-time Academy Award nominated film, considered one of the great ‘mustsees’ of all time, to the stage.

A jury has murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they decide the fate of a young man accused of killing his father. But what appears to be an open and shut case soon becomes a huge dilemma, as preconceived ideas about the accused, the trial, and each other turn the tables every which way, until the nail-biting climax...

Reginald Rose’s gripping courtroom thriller stars Gray O’Brien (Coronation Street, Peak Practice), Bill Ward (Emmerdale, Coronation Street), Ricky Norwood (EastEnders), Tristan Gemmill (Casualty, Coronation Street) and Ben Nealon (Soldier Soldier).
