THERE’S an exciting line-up planned for the weeks ahead at the Memorial Theatre.
Coming up are:
The Illegal Eagles
Friday 22nd April @ 7.30pm. Tickets £29.50
Celebrating over 50 years since the legendary US west coast country rock band The Eagles formed in 1971, The Illegal Eagles return to Frome Memorial Theatre with another outstanding show, with the very best from the Eagles’ catalogue of classics, including Hotel California, Desperado, New Kid In Town and many more.
Now in their 23rd year on the road and following a number of critically acclaimed UK and European tours, The Illegal Eagles have established themselves not only as the ultimate celebration of The Eagles, but as one of the foremost authentic and talented shows in the world.
FMTC presents Shrek The Musical
Tuesday 3rd – Sunday 8th May. Evenings Tues – Sat @ 7pm. Matinee Sat & Sun @2pm.
Tickets £18, Concessions £16, Family (4 tickets, max 2 adults) £65, Groups (10+) £15
Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land, Shrek the Musical is the story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an ugly green swamp to exist in happy isolation.
Suddenly, a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters (Pinocchio, Cinderella, the Three Pigs, you name it) raid his sanctuary, saying they’ve been evicted by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad. So Shrek strikes a deal: I’ll get your homes back, if you give me my home back!
But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own: He’ll give the fairy-tale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona.
Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing – something strange and different – about this pretty princess. He likes her…a lot. But why does she always run off when the sun sets?
