NOW pantomime season is over for another year, there are a host of shows heading to Bromsgrove’s Artrix in the coming weeks.
The venue was reopened at the end of last year by The Core after the discovery of RAAC concrete in its Solihull theatre auditorium meant it would be unable to host shows.
Since then, crowds have been flocking back to Artrix as live theatre and music returned to the much-loved centre.
Some shows are sold out already but there is plenty more to catch.
One Night in Dublin – billed as ‘the ultimate Irish night out – takes place at 7.30pm next Saturday, February 3. The show will feature a variety of classic Irish songs, including Galway Girl, Tell Me Ma, Dirty Old Town, The Irish Rover and Seven Drunken Nights. Tickets are £23.50.
Next Sunday, February 4, the Dreamers Dance Academy presents its 2024 production ‘Face The Music!’ Performances of the show, which celebrate the icons of the music world who inspire people to dance every day, are at 12.30pm and 5.30pm and tickets are £14.
