The dates are set, and the artists booked for Hull New Theatre as they’ve announced today that they’ll be reopening in May with a Covid-safe series of shows.

The announcement comes in the week that the UK marked the first anniversary of entering national lockdown, where Hull’s largest theatre closed it’s doors and hasn’t reopened since. Now a special selection of productions featuring the very best of live theatre and comedy will make a welcome return to the stage.

The Prologue Series: A Covid Safe Season features April in Paris, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, SIX and LOL Comedy Club.

These will be produced in-line with the latest Government advice to ensure the venue is Covid-safe for our valued patrons, visiting touring companies, performers and staff.

The season opens with John Godber’s comedy drama April in Paris starring former king of the jungle Joe Pasquale and musical theatre leading lady Sarah Earnshaw. The pair will stroll down the venue’s very own Champs Elysee sampling culture, champagne and croissants from 20 -22 May, 2021.

The Prologue series will also feature two award-winning musicals as well as a night  of comedy as Priscilla Queen of the Desert brings glitz and glamour from the outback from 12 -17 July and SIX celebrates girl power to the Tudor court of Henry VIII from 21 – 25 July.  Legendary LOL Comedy Club returns with another line-up of top class comedians ready to provide the gags and giggles on 18 June.

Councillor Marjorie Brabazon, Chair of Hull Culture and Leisure’s Board said “I am thrilled that as our prestigious venues emerge from the pandemic, we are able to provide high quality cultural experiences for all to enjoy.”

Cllr David Craker, Portfolio holder for culture leisure and tourism at Hull City Council, said: “It is wonderful to welcome customers back into our safe and secure Hull New Theatre to experience exciting world class live theatre and comedy after what has been a very challenging year.”
