The new productions join the previously announced The Cher Show, The Play That Goes Wrong, What The Ladybird Heard and The National Theatre's Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Jimmy Carr will be coming to Birmingham Hippodrome for one night only on Sun 10 Oct to celebrate the release of his brand-new book Before and Laughter: A Life Changing Book.
