An Important Announcement...
16th March 2020, updated 3rd April.
In light of the unprecedented COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation and the latest anouncements from Government it is with regret that we have taken the decision to postpone our upcoming production of Hairspray originally scheduled for May.
With just 7 weeks until the original opening night, rehearsals were in full flow, we have had to postpone our production. However we have now scheduled new dates for 22nd to 26th September 2020.
All bookings have been transferred to the new dates. If you booked tickets via a LADOS member and are unable to attend on the new dates, or would like to make any chances, then please contact the LADOS member. For bookings made direct with the Grand Theatre box office, online or via phone, they will be in contact to confirm or refund as you require.
We look forward to hopefully seeing you all at the Grand in September! Coronavirus will NOT Stop The Beat!
In the meantime please take care of yourselves and those around you.
LADOS 2015 Production of 'Hairspray'
LADOS 2015 Production of 'Hairspray'
Our 2019 production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's legendary rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar was at the Grand Theatre, Lancaster 7th - 11th May 2019. See full details of this spectacular production.
But now we fly 5,865 miles west from Jerusalem to Baltimore and jump forward 1,929 years to 1962 for our production of the hit Broadway musical Hairspray... welcome back to the 60's, at the Lancaster Grand, 22nd to 26th September 2020!.
Directing this production will be Laura Saltariche who has been teaching Drama and English for the past 14 years and we welcome her on board this year. Holly Brown will reprise the role of Tracy Turnblad, having previously performed the role in our 2015 production. Holly will also Choreograph. Our Musical Director, Anna Eddowes-Scott, completes our production trio!
In memory of a true LADOS Superstar, Roger Bradley, we are proud to support Rosemere Cancer Foundation in 2019.
Roger first appeared on the LADOS stage as Diesel in our 1987 production of West Side Story, directing Chess in 2004 and appearing in every production up to his final curtain call in Hot Mikado in 2006.
Arguably his most notable role was that of Jesus of Nazareth in our 1996 production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Lancaster Grand which he reprised for our 2002 production at the Lancaster Priory.
After 20 show-stopping years with LADOS Roger sadly died in 2007 from Melanoma.
