The Muppet Christmas Carol
Wed 21 Dec 2pm
This year our Christmas Classic is the well loved musical starring Michael Caine and all of your favourite Muppets!
Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppet gang appear in this fun musical take on the classic Charles Dickens story. Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine) is a miserly and bitter old man with no thought for anyone but himself. One Christmas Eve he is visited by three ghosts - the spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come - who each show him the error of his ways.

Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical
Fri 30 Dec 8pm & Tue 3 Jan 2pm
Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir) is a little girl with big curiosity, a sharp mind and a vivid imagination — and the worst parents in the world. While her parents (Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough) content themselves with trashy TV and dodgy money-making schemes, she loves to lose herself in the pages of her beloved books. Where they are loud, selfish and unkind she is a quiet observer, thinking up small and cheeky acts of rebellion and revenge.
Directed by Tony Award-winning director Matthew Warchus, screenwriter Dennis Kelly adapts the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production for the big screen, with original music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.
