The List

Leeds Grand Theatre

The Grand Theatre & Opera House is a Leeds institution. Opening in 1878, it was originally intended as an upmarket rebuke to the scuzzy music halls that then dominated Leeds night life, to the point where only those with the best seats were allowed to come in through the main entrance. The music halls have gone and the Grand Theatre has long since democratised itself, providing a classy venue for the people of Leeds to see major touring shows, opera, musicals, dance, stand-up comedy and classical concerts. The splendid Victorian building is Grade II listed but in 2005-6 it went through a major refurbishment and now has improved technical facilities and a new performance space, the Howard Assembly Room. It's also the home of Opera North, and Northern Ballet are frequent guests in the building.

When a traditional production of Oscar Wilde’s classic play gets underway, everything seems to be going perfectly to plan… that is, until the lead actor fails to arrive on cue and an actual audience member is chosen to star in the show. What follows is a madcap medley of impromptu games and spontaneous solutions as the desperate director does his best to keep this faithful production going. But with stage whiskey being swapped, off-the-cuff auditions being held and muffins being eaten (no matter what state they’re in), there’s just no telling what this unique version of The Importance of Being Earnest is going to throw up. Especially when more audience members are drafted in to replace an ever-thinning cast… With the script ripped up and rewritten, can the show reach its fabulous finale, just as Oscar Wilde intended? This one-of-a-kind comedy sensation is completely different, completely chaotic, and completely Wilde every single night. And who knows, you might even become a star yourself! Guaranteed to have you laughing whether you’re sitting in the audience… or performing onstage …Earnest? is perfect for fans of The Play That Goes Wrong and Noises Off!

By Royal Appointment

By Royal Appointment

24 Jun 2025 - 28 Jun 2025

The late Queen Elizabeth II was famous for her discretion. She never said anything in public that could ruffle the lightest of feathers. But she had one way of expressing what she really thought – through her wardrobe. By Royal Appointment is a funny, poignant and celebratory new play about the kind of power that only a Queen can wield – she charms the world through coats and admonishes her family through a carefully chosen hat. But the Queen herself is uninterested in fashion. Her look is managed by her Designer, her Milliner and most powerful of all, her Dresser, a working-class girl who goes from advising the Queen on the colour of her lipsticks to the real power behind the throne. But the Dresser, like all royal favourites is living on borrowed time. By Royal Appointment is a behind-the-scenes peek into the world of our most popular monarch and the image she presented to the world. Starring national treasure Anne Reid as The Queen and star of stage and screen Caroline Quentin as The Dresser. The new play is written by Daisy Goodwin who created the hit ITV series Victoria and directed by former Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe, Dominic Dromgoole.

Milton Jones: HA!milton

Milton Jones: HA!milton

3 May 2025 - 29 Nov 2025

This is not a musical. Milton Jones is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm, but at least he doesn’t make a song and dance about it. He has more important things to discuss. Like giraffes... and there’s a bit about tomatoes. You might know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or Radio 4. Or that time he stood for the Scottish National Party, fought a hard campaign, but in the end had to respect the wishes of the people of Cardiff. A whole new show of daftness. You know it makes sense. Warning - contains jokes from the start.

This outrageous musical comedy from the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and Bobby Lopez co-writer of Avenue Q and Frozen, follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent on a mission to a place that’s about as far from Salt Lake City as you can get.

An Evening With Sir Derek Jacobi In Conversation With Richard Clifford
Sir Derek Jacobi is an icon of stage and screen known for his work at the Royal National Theatre. He is a BAFTA, Olivier, Emmy, Screen Guild and Tony Award-winner and, to top it all off, Derek was given a Knighthood for his services to theatre by Queen Elizabeth II. Not bad for a boy who grew up in Essex and the son of a corner shop owner and a secretary. With peers such as Ian McKellen and Trevor Nunn, and as one of the founding members of the National Theatre and invited to be a member of the Birmingham Rep, Derek is an enormous talent with Shakespeare running through his blood. Six decades and so many favourites… such as I, Claudius, Gladiator I, Gladiator II, Last Tango in Halifax, The Crown, The Day of the Jackal, Nanny McPhee, Gosford Park, The Kings Speech and much in between. His Shakespeare work is vast with notable performances in Hamlet and Othello to name a few. And not to forget… his audiobook work as the narrator for the BBC children’s series In the Night Garden. Richard Clifford: Actor and Producer Richard starred in Much Ado About Nothing (1993) and Loves Labours Lost, directed by Kenneth Branagh, took part in the MA course The Shakespeare Authorship Question at Brunel University, and has been a director at the Folger Shakespeare Library for 20 years to study the collection and look at the Oxford Geneva bible. With Richard in the driving seat for the evening, there will be an incredible degree of insight, joy of Shakespeare and so much more as he has also been Derek’s partner since the 1970s.
