WEST END STYLE SHOWS

THE CHRONICLES OF A PIRATE KING

This unique show masterfully blends traditional storytelling with a vibrant modern musical soundscape, brought to life by the Prague Orchestra. Audiences can expect a few surprising twists along the way, including a daring zip line across the stage and a show stopping sword flight. Set aboard a traditional Georgian Navy sailing ship we dive into the thrilling adventures of pirate king Doggerbanks and his motley crew. When they overthrow the captain and his crew an unexpected situation unfolds setting the scene for an unforgettable and unfortunate series of events . Will they discover the legendary No Hope Diamond or succumb to the perils of Skull Island.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

A sophisticated evening of timeless music and glamour which is set amidst the romantic splendour of a beautiful avant-garde parkland at dusk. A touch of Rock Opera, Classical Crossover and Musical Theatre provide the backdrop of this emotional and empowering story. It is not love that confuses us, it is the way we love that does. Obsession, unadulterated or misunderstood, we go on a journey of discovery with bespoke ballads, duets, heartfelt laments and six part harmony mash-ups to form the corner stone of this Concerto style show.

DANCE DANCE DANCE

Choreographed by none other than Strictly’s Anton Du Beke. Join the celebration as we take you on a world tour of the best of dance throughout the decades with guest virtual appearances from the star himself.

ENCHANTED GARDEN

A fantasy, dream-like musical experience set in a romantic gothic garden on a sweet midsummer night, complete with grand stone arches and sunken turrets. The theme of the show is love lost and love found, with a soundtrack that is a crossover of classical, musical theatre and pop, with bespoke musical arrangements and vocal harmonies.

T H E A T R E @ S E A

As well as the razzle and dazzle of the West End, Ambassador also brings you the drama, comedy and suspense from the theatre. Theatre@Sea is a unique and exclusive product to Ambassador, featuring a range of professionally written plays set to add a distinctive dimension to daytime and evening entertainment programmes. For example:

DING DONG

Written by French playwright Marc Camoletti, who found fame in the 1960s with his French-farce Boeing Boeing and whose work has now been performed in over 50 countries, Ding Dong, promises fun and laughter throughout! The French-farce will transport guests to the fashionable suburbs of Paris where the household of the wealthy Marcellin family is situated. Mix together a scandalous affair, a deadly bargain and a troublesome maid along with a strong streak of comedic genius throughout, just like that, the recipe for the hilarious play is complete.

HELL HATH NO FURY - PLAY

Hell Hath No Fury is a modern take on the Gothic thriller, inspired by a ghost story by M R James. In a sleepy English village, a Detective Inspector receives an unexpected visit from an school old friend, who is convinced that a selfproclaimed witch is pursuing a supernatural vendetta against him. Mysterious texts, threatening phone calls and strange co-incidences convince the detective to seek help from a local priest, who specialises in the occult. Together, they uncover the true terror behind this embittered woman’s evil powers, as well as the key to stopping her. But can they do it in time?
