When Leeds Grand Theatre first opened on Monday 18 November 1878, a playbill declared it would ‘Positively Open’. Now, after an enforced 15 month closure, it is ‘Positively Reopening’ on Thursday 17 June 2021 with a socially distanced run of Northern Ballet’s Swan Lake.

Despite the ongoing challenges still facing the theatre, The Grand’s curtains will rise again this week to host the very best in West End and Broadway musicals and dramas, stand-up comedy, dance and music, and resident companies’ Northern Ballet and Opera North.

Leeds audiences are encouraged to buy tickets to support the heritage venue that has lost 98% of its income throughout lockdown and continues to face financial difficulty whilst ever social distancing measures are in place.

Upcoming shows to look forward to include: Heathers The Musical from 28 July-14 August, Magic Goes Wrong from 30 August -4 September, Peter James’ Looking Good Dead from 6-11 September, Waitress from 14-18 September, Twelve Angry Men from 23-27 November and Bedknobs and Broomsticks from 8 December -9 January.
