We sift through the listings so you don’t have to!


1) Wild West End @ Nottingham New Theatre

Thursday-Saturday, 8pm, £6

Musicality, UofNs musical theatre society bring Wild West End to The New Theatre after it’s successful showing at Edinburgh Fringe 2012. Wild West End gained four and five star ratings from The Fringe reviewers so it is almost guaranteed to sell out during the short showing this week.
