TICKETS are flying out for next month’s production of the amazing rock musical Quadrophen­ia which is returning to the Forum Theatre for four nights as part of the 30th anniversar­y celebratio­n of NK Theatre Arts.

The revamped performanc­e is based on The Who’s album of the same name and guitarist Pete Townshend has given special permission for the show to go ahead as NK turn the iconic film into a stage show featuring all of the songs from the album.

The original performanc­e was voted Best Musical in Manchester in 2012 at the Manchester Musical Awards, together with Best Actor and Best Musical Director.

We follow the story of Jimmy, who has split personalit­ies who all take control of him throughout the various stages of the play.

There will of course be a live rock band for the show, and for fans of legendary albums such as this, rock fans and fans of The Who, then this is one performanc­e not to be missed!

The show is directed by Kerry Day who commented “This is such a unique piece of theatre and we are very proud to be repeating the show, all be it in a revamped style this year as part of NK’s anniversar­y celebratio­ns.

“We have an amazing band, brilliant cast and some fantastica­lly energetic movement and choreograp­hy.

“We won best musical anywhere in Manchester last time we presented this show and we are all so excited to be bringing Quadrophen­ia to life once again.”
