Birmingham Theatre Shows

The largest district of the West Midlands, Birmingham is a city chock-full of culture. Some of the 20th century’s greatest actors, including Laurence Olivier and Albert Finney, cut their teeth on its stages, and each year a variety of high-profile festivals including Flatpack Film Festival and Birmingham Weekender turn the city centre into a bustling display of arts and entertainment. The Birmingham theatre scene is a thriving hub comprising over 15 performance venues, and the city's Royal Ballet and Opera Company in particular have developed an international reputation. Alexandra Theatre (fondly nicknamed The Alex) sits in the heart of the city, and hosts top touring productions from London's West End and across the UK.
