SPAMALOT SMASHES BOX OFFICE RECORDS

Theatre Royal Brighton Goes From Strength To Strength

The musical Spamalot has beaten box office records for a production over the Christmas period at the Theatre Royal in Brighton.  25,000 saw the show which ended its month-long run at the theatre in New Road, Brighton on 14 January.

The Ambassador Theatre Group, which owns the theatre, has unveiled a new theatre company.  Theatre Royal Brighton Productions will present three plays in 2012, with each production opening at the Theatre Royal Brighton before going on nationwide tour and then to London.

Howard Panter, joint chief executive of Ambassador Theatre Group, said, ‘It is well over a decade since Theatre Royal Brighton became part of our group and the theatre goes from strength to strength.  The success of Spamalot demonstrates that Brighton audiences will, literally come in their thousands to see internationally renowned productions at their local theatre.’
