Packed with a cast of all ages from UEA students to some slightly more mature performers, they have all given up their time to put together a production of the hit musical...
There’s still time to catch the Norwich Theatre Royal pantomime Sleeping Beauty which runs through until January 15.

The classic thriller An Inspector Calls then returns to Norwich Theatre Royal on January 17-21. The man behind Billy Elliott – Stephen Daldry – presents the multi-award winning production of JB Priestley’schiller, which celebrates its 20th year on stage. Expect raw emotion, chilling suspense and some stunning staging. Then get ready for some lavish dance numbers and a feel-good night out as the Norfolk and Norwich Operatic Society present Hello Dolly on January 23-28. Packed with a cast of all ages from UEA students to some slightly more mature performers, they have all given up their time to put together a production of the hit musical directed by the highly-regarded Ray Jeffery.
And if air guitar and head-banging is more your style, the Classic Rock Show bursts onto the Theatre Royal stage on January 29 with a host of musicians playing anthems from some of the biggest rock albums ever. Expect everything from The Eagles and Led Zep to Elton John and AC/DC.
