This week, Newport’s Riverfront Theatre celebrates its 15th Birthday as Newport’s first professional theatre and arts centre.
To commemorate The Riverfront’s 15th birthday, Entertainment South Wales looks back on a selection of great shows above with a small collection of promotional filers featuring music acts, family shows, pantomimes and theatrical performances. From the popular to the surreal, how many do you remember?

The Riverfront’s Birthday coincides with Theatr Clwyd’s presentation of their brand-new production Pavilion. The Riverfront is the only touring venue for the production which runs until Friday October 25.
Head of Theatre, Arts and Culture Alan Dear comments
‘‘We are delighted to be celebrating our 15th birthday the same week as a wonderful new Welsh production takes to our stage. Over the next 15 years The Riverfront’s programme is going to go from strength to strength as we forge new relationships with companies and performers and continue to bring a high quality and varied theatre and arts development programme, for, by, and with the people of Newport.’
