The Princess Alexandra Auditorium in Yarm has announced an eclectic programme of concerts and events from Autumn 2017 into 2018, including the only live concert this year outside of London from singer Lee Mead, and the opportunity to spend an evening in the company of former England and Yorkshire cricketer Geoffrey Boycott.
In addition, the Friarage Theatre will be bringing a varied range of live screenings, from the RSC, ENO and NT Live.
Lee Mead brings his ‘Up Front and Centre’ show to Yarm on 7th October. Winner of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s BBC series Any Dream Will Do and star of Wicked, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Joseph and TV’s Casualty and Holby City, Lee will be performing songs from the musicals and some of his own personal favourite numbers.
‘An Evening with Geoffrey Boycott’ promises to be ‘fun, fiery and full of surprises’. Geoffrey will be sharing his memories of a stellar cricketing career, unseen footage from the BBC and photos from his private collection. The ‘Greatest Living Yorkshireman’ pulls no punches and, along with hilarious anecdotes, will give audience members the opportunity to put their own questions.
