John Godber returns with an incredible odyssey through the NHS in brand new comedy This Might Hurt.   When tough actor Jack Skipton returns from filming to care for his ageing aunt, he has no idea what he is letting himself in for. Jack's story is both hilarious and heartbreaking as he and his aunt take on the health service, from wrongly booked scans to frustrated consultants!   Told in a bold physical theatre style and with breathtaking grit and honesty, take a deep breath because This Might Hurt! This Might Hurt   Wed 14 - Sat 17 September, 7.30pm Saturday matinee 3pm Tickets £19, £17, £14 (plus concessions) Box Office 01924 211 311 Online theatreroyalwakefield.co.uk             There's still time to grab tickets to our Wakefield Youth Music Theatre spectacular Jesus Christ Superstar, from the team that brought you Strictly Musicals, Cats and Oliver!   Tickets are selling fast for this Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice classic, telling the story of the final week of Jesus' life and his betrayal by Judas.   Featuring all the songs that made this show so famous, including King Herod's Song, Gethsamane and of course Jesus Christ Superstar!       The Mousetrap is famous around the world for being the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre - and now it's coming to Wakefield!   The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst.   In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.               The Stones bring to the stage all the energy and excitement of a live Rolling Stones concert, with a front man who looks, sounds, feels and moves like Jagger himself, and a band that kicks out the music with the same loose but tight feel of the real deal.   If you like the Rolling Stones, you need to see and hear this band!       Michael King's On Tour with Elvis is without doubt the UK's authoritative touring Elvis show. Featuring ground-breaking rock 'n' roll hits, movie songs, million selling number ones, the 1968 Comeback Special and the very best from Elvis' Las Vegas and touring years. This is a night of pure breathtaking Elvis entertainment plus the best Elvis sound you'll ever hear!       UK chart topper and much loved musician Tony Christie brings his Golden Anniversary Tour to Wakefield! This promises to be a truly wonderful night of music and song by one of the legendary voices and performers of our time, including chart hits Amarillo, Avenues & Alleyways and Walk Like A Panther.               Theatre Royal Wakefield, Drury Lane, Wakefield, WF1 2TE
