Company Description:
The new theatre is the latest state of the art building, with the most technically advanced equipment available. Designed by architects Blonski-Heard, the new theatre accommodates a vast range of productions, from large-scale West End musicals, to smaller, more intimate drama. The auditorium ceiling has been carefully designed to accommodate various shows and can be lowered or raised depending on the scale of the production. The seating can also be moved around within the auditorium to vary the capacity from between 900 and 1,400.
In addition to bringing a variety of performances to the city, Milton Keynes Theatre provides a focus for the city's already thriving cultural life. The very first performances on the new theatre's stage brought together nearly 1,000 local people, actors, dancers, musicians and backstage staff.
The theatre stages a variety of large West End productions, including Annie starring Lesley Joseph, Glyndebourne Touring Opera, Adventures In Motion Pictures; Swan Lake and The Car Man, West Side Story and Dr Dolittle starring Russ Abbot.
