A Nightmare on Great Western Road: A Halloween Musical Theatre Concert at Òran Mór

Glasgow, Scotland – Friday 31st October 2025 – Òran Mór is set to transform into the ultimate fright-night venue with Nightmare on Great Western Road, a spectacular Halloween musical theatre concert that promises thrills, chills, and a spine-tingling celebration of stage and song.

Described by BroadwayWorld UK as “the best musical theatre night out in Glasgow”, this one-night-only event will bring together eight sensational performers and a stellar musical theatre ensemble from Hamilton Theatre Arts.

The night will also feature an exclusive first look at DRIVE’s next project. An exclusive performance from ‘Funeral for my Boobs’ by Hannah Howie. For more information on Hannah’s story you can find information: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgl0zzj299jo

Chiara Sparkes, Co-Artistic Director:

‘’I’m really excited about this year’s Halloween concert, mostly as it’s the first time we’ve combined new text, dance and song, and we’re presenting it in ways you probably won’t expect. We want to surprise you, maybe even spook you a little, but most of all we want it to feel like a big party. Think of it as a hybrid of concert and night out. Dress your best (or scariest) because rewards are on the cards.’
