From Nine Night to South Pacific, there’s plenty to see before the year is through.

As autumn rolls around, theatres across the city are gearing up for some of the finest shows of the year.

Chichester Festival Theatre’s critically acclaimed, landmark production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific comes to Leeds at the beginning of November, winning audiences over with a powerful World War II love story.

Julian Ovenden and Gina Beck reprise their roles from the Chichester Festival Theatre production, and lead a sensational cast of over thirty including Rob Houchen, Joanna Ampil and Sera Maehara.

Oliver at Guiseley Theatre runs from 10 October until 15 October. Pictured: 'Oliver' at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on January 12, 2009 in London.

Featuring a full orchestra, this ravishing musical is set to be the must-see theatrical event of the year.

South Pacific starts on 1 November and runs until 5 November at Leeds Grand Theatre.

Also on the agenda is Opera North’s Orpheus; an ancient tragedy told through a meeting of the worlds of Indian and western baroque classical music.

The story follows Orpheus, a musician of mythical power, as he heads to the underworld to rescue his wife Eurydice after her death.

Chichester Festival Theatre’s critically acclaimed, landmark production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific comes to Leeds Grand Theatre this November.
