MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE
Manchester Opera House - (Tue 2nd Sep)

When Angela Lipsky’s husband has a mid-life crisis and a mid-European affair, she finds herself adrift in a sea of shifty solicitors, a disapproving mother, a series of helpline counsellors and Christmas all on her own. Bizarre dates, suspect purchases, a near reconciliation with the ex, then a singles ‘away weekend’ in the Welsh Hills brings about a surprise meeting and maybe some hope….. Award winning comedienne Dillie Keane stars as Angela. Best known as a founding member of comedy cabaret trio Fascinating Aida Dillie's many theatre credits include Me and My Girl, The Vagina Monologues, Charley's Aunt and Grumpy Old Women. Angela’s journey will touch the heart of anyone who has ever been loved. Not suitable for under 16's. [back to top]

THE EXTRA FACTOR
Manchester Opera House - (Thur 25th - Sat 27th Sep)

The eXtra Factor is a Comedy Musical which takes an ironical and hilarious look at reality shows. The ultimate winner will be decided each night by the audience! Apart from the comedy antics in the living quarters, the live-singing action takes place in a TV studio, with the wannabe pop-stars fighting for their 15 minutes of fame; and we see there is no limit to what some people will do to get it. From the house to the studio and back, this fast paced production will keep you laughing and guessing until the final moments. The eXtra Factor features 6 extremely talented performers, locked away in a house, desperate for fame, fortune and stardom. Kevin Kennedy (Coronation Street) teams up with Antony Costa (Blue, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here), Kelle Bryan (Eternal), Anthony Kavanagh (chart topper & ITV1’s Grease is the Word); Russ Spencer (pop group Scooch & West End’s Chitty Chitty bang bang) Jennifer Biddall (Hollyoaks) and Suzanne Carley (Blood Brothers & Grease). As well as the poignant and hilarious Comedy writing, the show will feature some of the biggest hits from the last 3 decades, including Robbie William’s “Angels”, George Michael’s “Freedom”, Donna Summer’s “I’m So Excited”, Europe’s “The Final Countdown” and many more. Big Brother meets Fame Academy to create The eXtra Factor in this no holds barred situation comedy where friendships are made but quickly broken when our Finalists strive to see who has the The eXtra Factor to make them a star.
