From Miss Saigon to The Full Monty, there is something to suit every taste this season at the Theatre Royal.

Theatre buffs are in for treat this autumn with a jam-packed line-up of must-see musicals, family favourites and even giant dinosaurs.

1. Miss Saigon

August 15 to September 15

Cameron Mackintosh's acclaimed new production of Boublil and Schönberg's legendary musical Miss Saigon is embarking on a major UK Tour. A recent smash hit in the West End and Broadway, this epic production with a company of 60 lands in Norwich this August. In the last days of the Vietnam War, 17 year-old Kim is forced to work in a Saigon bar run by a notorious character known as the Engineer. There she meets and falls in love with an American GI named Chris but they are torn apart by the fall of Saigon. For three years Kim goes on an epic journey of survival to find her way back to Chris, who has no idea he's fathered a son. There is local interest too with Ashley Gilmour, from Feltwell, playing the lead role of Chris in the show.

2. Peppa Pig's Adventure

September 18 to 19

Fun for all the family is promised as that popular character Peppa Pig arrives at the theatre for a brand new adventure. Peppa, George and their school friends decide to go on an exciting camping trip to the woods. As they settle down to sleep and listen to the gentle pitter-patter of rain, it is time to look forward to the morning and plenty of muddy puddles to play in. Expect games, laughter and live music for the young and young-at-heart and there is great news for the tiniest theatregoers as under-ones can see the show for free.
