Winter ’26/27 at The Hawth
NEW WINTER SEASON ANNOUNCED
The new season is here! The Hawth’s Winter line-up has just been announced, and it’s packed full of fantastic shows for everyone to enjoy in the coming months.
This Autumn and Winter is absolutely bursting at the seams with West End smash hits. Mean Girls starring Steps favourite, Faye Tozer is full of sharp wit and killier songs; family favourite, Annie stars Claire Sweeney as the tyrannical Miss Hannigan, while the legendary Blood Brothers returns and will no doubt have audiences giving standing ovations once again. The incredible run of musicals for 2026 is completed by Operation Mincemeat – equal parts farce, thriller and Ian Flemming-style spy caper, it’s bursting at the seams with the kind of chaos you couldn’t invent! The West End magic doesn’t end this year though, as royalty head to Crawley in 2027 – Six will be reigning supreme in January!
This Christmas is set to make our audiences wishes come true as they hop aboard the magic carpet and fly into a world of laughter, sparkle and panto magic with Aladdin. The glittering panto adventure stars Olivier Award winner and Stars in Their Eyes legend Matthew Kelly as the fabulously funny Widow Twankey, Emmerdale’s Linda Lusardi as the dastardly Abanazar, CBeebies’ Cat Sandion as the magical Spirit of the Ring, Matt Rixon (direct from playing Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical) as Emperor, and musical star Darius James in the title role. Expect side-splitting comedy, dazzling costumes, sensational scenery, spectacular songs, plenty of boos and cheers, and all the “He’s behind you!” moments that make panto the perfect Christmas tradition.
The family fun doesn’t stop there as Animal Guyz present Amazing Animals and Let’s All Dance bring three beautiful family ballets to the Studio as they perform Alice in Wonderland, The Nutcracker and A Christmas Wish to delight children of all ages and their families.
For the grown up ballet lovers, Imperial Classical Ballet present Swan Lake – the timeless story of love, betrayal and redemption.
Comedy is always a huge part of all our season and with three sold out nights coming up from Daniel Foxx – How Lovely, Fatiha El-Ghorri – Cockney Stacking Doll and Romesh Ranganathan – Work In Progress, we are delighted to announce that 2027 sees the return of Gary Delaney and Ross Noble plus first time performances from Jimeoin and Mo Gilligan.
There’s music to suit all tastes as always, with tributes to Dolly Parton (The Dolly Show), Abba (Arrival), ELO (The ELO Show), Luther Vandross (Luther Live and Velvet Voices), Phil Collins (No Jacket Required), the Rolling Stones (The Rolling Stone Story) and, of course, the King himself, Elvis (A Vision of Elvis).
