Adam Renton, General Manager Bradford Theatres says:
“I’m so pleased to be able to introduce our spring 2022 season, which is filled with wonderful shows at all of our four venues.
Our hugely successful pantomime is returning this year and there’s still time to grab a ticket. Be amazed by the special effects and join Billy Pearce and Dr Ranj in the hilarious but classic tale, Sleeping Beauty, which runs until mid-January. It will have been 8 years since the global phenomenon that is Disney’s The Lion King appeared at the Alhambra Theatre and I am thrilled that it is returning to us for 9 weeks from mid-March! Book early to avoid disappointment.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our venues in the very near future.”
