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 2020 production of the hit Broadway musical Hairspray... welcome back to the 60's, at the Lancaster Grand, Tuesday 5th May - Saturday 9th May 2020.

Rehearsals for Hairspray started on Monday 7^th October 2019 at our new rehearsal venue Our Lady's Catholic College, Morecambe Road, Lancaster, LA1 2RX. Auditions were held on Monday 21^st October 2019.

And with auditions now complete, our cast assembled, the rehearsals can really get underway. 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, Angela Potter, 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.
