6 THEATRE NEWS Following yet another record-breaking season in 2015 we are well on the way to having two sell out shows for At the time of going to press, with ten weeks to go before opening night, more than 90% of all tickets for West Side Story have been sold and Thoroughly Modern Millie is also selling very quickly. Producer Celia Mackay is delighted to be working with Matthew White and Stephen Mear as directors of our shows for Matthew White, who will direct West Side Story, has directed numerous West End musicals including the Olivier award winning musical Top Hat as well as Sweet Charity and Little Shop of Horrors both of which were nominated for Olivier awards for Best Musical Revival.

Stephen also has Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Tour throughout this year. We are really looking forward to welcoming them both to Kilworth for what we are sure will be a truly memorable season. From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Shakespeare s Romeo and Juliet is transported to 1950 s New York City, as two young idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the American Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time. It s 1922, and small-town girl Millie Dillmount has just arrived in New York City, ready to make her dreams come true. Millie s plan is simple: find a job as a secretary for an eligible bachelor, and then marry him. It doesn t take long, however, for Millie s thoroughly modern plan to go awry. Her conniving landlady plots to kidnap Millie s best friend and sell her into slavery in Hong Kong, her wealthy boss seems entirely uninterested in her flirtations, and worst of all the Arguably this iconic multiple Award Winning musical has the most famous, legendary musical hits of all time which include Somewhere, Maria, America, I Feel Pretty and Tonight. High energy awesome dance numbers, passionate, funny yet moving with a powerful plot and beautiful love story, it is little wonder that West Side Story changed the face of musical theatre. 31 ST MAY 17 TH JULY 2016 man with whom she falls head over heels in love doesn t have a penny to his name. Winner of no less than 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie is based on the 1967 film of the same name and includes such memorable numbers as How the Other Half Lives, Not for the Life of Me, Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life and of course the title song Thoroughly Modern Millie. 16 TH AUGUST 11 TH SEPTEMBER BOOK ONLINE: OR BOX OFFICE: (MON-FRI, 10AM-4PM)

19 New Year s Day in the Orangery New Year s Eve in the Orangery If there s one memory from 2016 that will linger long into the New Year, it s the carefree joy of our New Year s Eve party. This spectacular seven course celebration of fine food and music is the unforgettably glamorous way to see in the New Year. The evening begins with Champagne and canapés in the Lounge, before graduating to the ornate grandeur of the Orangery. There, you ll meet your entertainer and compère for the night, Paul Martyn. Paul is an effortlessly evocative singer and saxophonist whose repertoire recalls the era of swing as easily as it breathes new life into contemporary classics. This is one night of the year when you really won t want to go home especially when the walk to your room is so short, and the early morning views of the surrounding countryside are so spectacular. So why not greet the dawn of a new year with a leisurely breakfast in the Wordsworth Restaurant? ARRIVAL: 7.45pm Champagne and canapés. DINNER: 8.30pm onwards, seven courses served in the Orangery.
