Give the gift of theatre from a fantastic variety of shows for Mother’s Day and beyond.
Perfectly timed to coincide with Mother’s Day, Jason Donovan brings his Doin’ Fine Encoretour to the Theatre Royal Nottingham on Sunday 15 March, celebrating his remarkable career in music, theatre, film and TV.
And that’s not the only event coming up at the city venue to make a perfect Mother’s Day gift.
The following week, the Royal Shakespeare Company return to Nottingham with a ‘must see’ new production of Hamlet (17-21 Mar). Drama fans may also enjoy joining a star-studded sleuthing cruise in Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile (14-18 Apr), or the brilliantly funny and adrenaline-filled West End stage phenomenon 2:22 A Ghost Story (20-25 Apr).
Whatever style of musical theatre they love, there’s so much coming soon to the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall, including the fierce and fabulous Priscilla Queen of the Desert (28 Apr – 2 May), Gravity starring West End and Broadway legends Kerry Ellis, Louise Dearman & Rachel Tucker (29 May), Jersey Boys (30 Jun – 4 Jul), The Bodyguard (13-18 Jul), Waitress (10-15 Aug) and Annie (1-6 Sep).
For a musical trip down memory lane, get into the groove with 80s Live (9 Apr), create a dream come true with A Tribute to The Carpenters (12 Apr), or take a fantastical, dark, and thrilling journey with hilarious rock musical Steve Steinman’s Vampires Rock Eternal Love – The Musical (11 Apr).
For dance fans, Northern Ballet bring their powerful new production Gentleman Jack (13-16 May) to Nottingham for the first time, while everyone’s favourite Strictly ‘pros’ return in Strictly The Professionals (26 May).

If all this choice leaves you unable to decide what they would like to see most, remember you can always treat them to a gift voucher, so they can decide what to see and when. Or, if they come to the theatre regularly, a gift membership to enjoy priority booking, tickets discounts, special offers and other benefits throughout the year.
