Dear All,

Welcome to the June 2025 edition of Ensemble. I hope you’ve been enjoying the warm sunny weather recently. 

The 5-star theatrical triumph that is the electrifying Fiddler on the Roof is currently playing at the Barbican Centre to sold out audiences and theatre critics are raving about the show. I think it’s an extraordinary production with incredible music, and definitely worth seeing if you get the chance. After the Barbican, Fiddler will go on tour around the country including dates at five Trafalgar venues. This of course is followed by the unmissable Good Night, Oscar starring the Emmy and Tony Award-winning US star Sean Hayes.

We were delighted that the agreement securing the future of the Churchill Theatre Bromley has been signed. This will pave the way for investment, refurbishment, theatre enhancement, and bolder, bigger programming. A great result for everyone concerned, and a move that will bring reassurances to the Churchill team and Bromley audiences.

With the highly anticipated opening of Bradford Live on the horizon, our Events & Hospitality and venue teams have started to host the first public events in the auditorium and Ballroom. With thousands of people expected at more events over the summer months, there’s a real buzz around the city about the new venue.

This month, we feature more of your stories. Colleagues doing extraordinary things in their own time and achieving great success. As ever, we love to hear from you, so if you have anything you’d like to share with our colleagues, please email all the details to Dave Bradbury as usual.

Enjoy reading this month’s Ensemble, and until next time, take care of yourselves.

Best wishes
Rosemary
