Celebrations are in full flow for the Queen's Theatre Hornchurch following the news that its recent autumn season smashed box office records at the theatre.
This was Artistic Director Douglas Rintoul's first season at the Queen's Theatre and his decision to herald a new era of creative collaborations with some of the best theatre companies in the UK has paid off.
All three in-house productions received critical acclaim from press and audiences members. The season consisted of the smash-hit musical Made in Dagenham, followed by Bob Larbey's comedy A Month of Sundays and Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime, a Tommy and Tuppence thriller.
The success didn't stop there as ticket sales for the theatre's pantomime Cinderella sky rocketed and smashed past the half a million pound barrier; a first for any panto in the Queen's Theatre's history. It received five-star reviews from the Romford Recorder, Netmums and London Theatre 1 which said, 'A new standard has been set this year... absorbing and enjoyable from start to finish.'
