Big name comics, singers and musicals for autumn season at Aylesbury's Waterside Theatre

Two spectacular musicals are part of the autumn line up at the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury.

The irresistible feelgood comedy Hairspray (pictured above), based on the hit movie starring John Travolta, promises to leave theatre goers feeling great in September. Set in 1962 Baltimore it tells the story of Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, who wants to dance her way onto national television.

Featuring hit songs including You Can’t Stop The Beat it’s sure to have audiences on their feet by the end of the night.

In September former EastEnders stars Paul Bradley and Jessie Wallace star in Deathtrap, a thriller about a successful writer in the grip of chronic writer’s block.
