The Russian State Ballet of Siberia: Cinderella
Tuesday 18th January @ Hull New Theatre
The world’s favourite rags to riches fairytale where dreams can come true is a magical mix of Prokofiev’s energetic score, lively choreography and colourful costumes.
Whilst her mad/bad stepmother and her ill-mannered daughters prepare for the Royal Ball, graceful Cinderella can only dream of dancing with the dashing Prince. Later that evening, her rags become a glittering gown and she is swept magically to the Ball. From that very moment the Prince is smitten, midnight strikes and one lost crystal slipper later, he must now embark on a journey to find his lost love.
Funny Friday

Teddy Thompson
Saturday 22nd January @ Pocklington Arts Centre
Called ‘one of the most gifted singer-songwriters of his generation’ by The New York Times, singer-songwriter Teddy Thompson is famously the son of singer-songwriters Richard and Linda Thompson.
As a kid, he listened to early rock ‘n’ roll and country music exclusively, resulting in a unique voice that is at once rock and country, then pop and folk. He has released five albums to critical acclaim and has contributed to the soundtrack of the Golden Globe and BAFTA-winning film Brokeback Mountain.
Paul Carrack

Paul Carrack, one of the most revered voices in music and a figurehead of soulful pop for decades, returns to the delight of his legions of admirers, performing 24 dates across the UK on the Good And Ready Tour 2022.
