“11. Our House, the Madness Musical - performed by Ivy Arts Youth Theatre. At the Redgrave Theatre, 23-26 January.
If you are a Madness fan or a ska fan or just a fan of a good night out for a reasonable price there are some tickets left for some performances. Booking office details can be obtained via the Redgrave.
Come along and support some local talent and local theatre. You will not be disappointed.”

“"1. Oliver! starts its run at The Hippodrome on Tuesday and will be on until Thursday. Tickets start at £17.50"
Someone had best tell the Hippodrome - their website has Oliver advertised 22 January - 24 February.”
