On July 13, 1985, history was made with the first ever global concert taking place simultaneously in London's Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia's John F. Kennedy's Stadium. The line up was a dazzling who's who of music's top artists of the era from David Bowie, Paul McCartney, and Queen to Madonna, Phil Collins, and Led Zeppelin.

Blending traditional pantomime with modern pop music and a headstrong Cinderella, Centenary Theatre's first professional pantomime hones in on the Berkhamsted community and is bursting with talented actors from the area and local banter.

Berkhamsted Enterprises has announced the relaunch of their Centenary Theatre as a professional venue for audiences to enjoy performances taking place throughout the year. Established in 1988 to coincide with the 100-year-celebration of Berkhamsted Girls School, the space has previously been used for school and charity events over the years but will now fill a much-needed gap in the local area as the biggest and leading venue space in Berkhamsted.

Avenue Q will return to London for a once-in-a-lifetime reunion on Sunday 10th November, with two very special concert performances at The Sondheim Theatre.
