Places, everyone… the curtain is about to rise!
Welcome to Beyond Broadway , where the bright lights of the West End meet the cheekier side of Townhouse!
Whether you're a musical theatre superfan, know every word to every show tune ever written, or simply fancy a fabulous night out with an extra little bit of razzle dazzle, Beyond Broadway is ready to welcome you.
Hosted by Brett & HiBarbie, the night is all about meeting new people, having a laugh, enjoying the atmosphere and making some memories worthy of their own standing ovation.
Expect plenty of opportunities to mingle, flirt and break the ice before seeing where the night takes upstairs to our amazing play rooms to have lots of fun!
Because when the curtain goes up at Townhouse, you never quite know how the story is going to end.
Take Centre Stage!
Ever imagined yourself belting out a showstopper on a West End stage?
Well… this might be the next best thing!
Throughout the evening we'll be hosting Open Mic style Karaoke, giving you the chance to step onto the Townhouse stage and make those West End fantasies come alive.
From Defying Gravity to Sweet Transvestite, One Night Only to Cell Block Tango …grab the mic and give us your very best leading lady, leading man or scene stealing ensemble member.
Big voices, questionable choreography and dramatic key changes are all very much welcome!!
Standing ovations, however, cannot be guaranteed.
