Looking ahead to January, a pair of shows tour to Oxford with cinematic heritage. First up is Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, which arrives at the start of the month at the New Theatre. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beloved musical features songs such as ‘Any Dream Will Do’, ‘Close Every Door’ and ‘There’s One More Angel in Heaven’, and will satisfy fans and newcomers alike.
Later on in January it’s the turn of The Shark is Broken, playing at the Oxford Playhouse. A glorious behind-the-scenes look at the making of Jaws, the play is set on the Orca whilst the central trio waiting for the oft-delayed filming to take place and slowly get on each other’s nerves. Daily Info’s resident movie buff can’t wait!
