Flashback Friday: Six of The Best Shows From Wales Millennium Centre

Last week, Wales Millennium Centre made the sad, but expected announcement that the venue will remain closed until at least January 2021, due to the devastating impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the theatre industry.

Wales Millennium Centre has remained a landmark arts venue and a cultural destination since its opening in 2004. The Centre not only presents the best touring talent from across the globe, but also creates its own, high-quality productions such as Tiger Bay and Only The Brave, as well as hosting festivals and exhibitions.

Our thoughts are with those that work at the centre at this difficult time and as way of a tribute to The Centre and its staff we celebrate this weeks Flashback Friday with six favourite productions from over the years, each displaying diversity and originality but importantly entertaining us all through a variety of mediums.

Grease – The Musical
Donald Gordon Theatre, July 2017

“From the vibrant set and costumes to the excellent performances on stage Grease is a fantastic night out for the whole family”
