Funny Girl: The Musical (30th April)

Sheridan Smith hit the headlines as the lead in Funny Girl: The Musical ten years ago. The show was a knockout, and the star got rave reviews.

But if you didn’t get to see Sheridan as the fictional Broadway star and comedian the first time around, then a special screening of Funny Girl: The Musical, will end the rain on your parade, (as the song kinda goes).

Power to the People: John & Yoko: Live in NYC (4th May)

It’s 1972, you’re at Madison Square Garden in New York watching John Lennon and Yoko Ono live on stage. The first notes of “Imagine” sound and you can feel goosebumps. The atmosphere’s electric. You may have read about the legendary sell-out concert – one of the only full live performances John Lennon gave after The Beatles – but now you can experience it for yourself on big screen in a restored version that’s been newly edited and remixed.

Met Opera 2025-26: Eugene Onegin (5th May)

Opera is spectacle on a grand scale, and a performance from The Met in New York is as sumptuous and theatrical as it gets. From the staging and costumes to the dramatic lighting all add to the drama and storytelling as renowned soprano Asmik Grigorian and baritone Igor Golovatenko bring the tragic tale of Eugene Onegin to life. Drink in the lovestruck Tatiana and cynical Onegin who fails to see what’s in front of him until it’s too late in Tchaikovsky’s opera.

The Met 2025-26: El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego (30th May)

To say that the art, love and lives of Mexican painters Kahlo and Diego Rivera were colourful hardly does them justice. Their passion – for each other, for politics and for creativity – lends itself naturally to opera. Richly expressive music and bold visual storytelling bring their world to life, inspired by the paintings themselves.

This magical realist reimagining of their lives will be screened at Cineworld on 30th May.

Get another opportunity to watch Lesley Manville alongside Turner in the National Theatre’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses based on the Choderlos de Laclos classic novel. It’s all power and riches as women are a slave to their reputation while men revel in debauchery.
