Extension to Van Gogh Exhibition

  

 

VAN GOGH SPECTACULAR ANNOUNCES EXTENSION TO LIVERPOOL DATES

 

Huge demand for tickets to UK premiere of thrilling immersive art attraction Beyond Van Gogh in city

___________________________________________________________________________

 

A spectacular immersive multimedia show celebrating Vincent van Gogh’s life and stunning artworks comes to Liverpool in a UK premiere this summer – and today producers have revealed they are extending its run due to overwhelming demand from the public.

 

Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is set to be staged at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, opening on 27 June.

 

Timed tickets went on sale last week, and demand has proved so high that a few of the show’s weekend sessions are already sold out. As a result, producers Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group have now made the decision to extend its initial two-and-a-half week run by a further 10 days.

 

It means the unmissable experience will now be open to visitors daily until Wednesday, 24 July.

 

Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience combines more than 300 of the post-Impressionist icon’s paintings with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of one of history’s most influential artists.

 

His paintings are liberated from their two-dimensional realms and rendered into three-dimensional, fully immersive scenes that swirl and flow with colour and movement – exhilarating in every sense.

 

Visitors are taken on a journey through the artist’s world from darkness to light, enhanced by his own dreams, thoughts and words set to a stirring symphonic score in this sensational narrative experience which appeals to a whole new generation of art enthusiasts and Van Gogh fans alike.

 

Beginning in the Introduction Hall, visitors connect with Vincent van Gogh through personal letters he wrote to his brother, and greatest supporter, Theo. Visitors then move into the heart of the exhibition – the Immersive Room – where Van Gogh’s paintings are freed from their frames to dominate the space and fully immerse the audience in the incredible detail of his work, awakening their imagination in a playful and dreamlike way as they are enveloped in colourful flowers, cafés and stunning landscapes, shifting and swirling across the projection-swathed walls and floor.

 

Even if you are not very familiar with Van Gogh’s incredible paintings, this is an excellent access point to his world, and a way to connect to the artist behind the art.

 

There is also a chance to take part in special Saturday morning yoga sessions inside the exhibition itself. Meanwhile VIP Experience tickets include selected Beyond Van Gogh merchandise along with flexible arrival times and fast track entry.

 

Annerin Productions chose Liverpool for the premiere after having had previous experience of the city through its hit Broadway and West End Beatles’ musical revue show Let It Be.

 

Anna Parry, UK Business Development at Annerin Productions, said today: “We’re excited to announce the extension of Beyond Van Gogh in Liverpool. It’s a testament to the overwhelming demand and unwavering support from the city of Liverpool.

 

“This response reaffirms Liverpool's passion for art and culture, and we’re thrilled to provide this extended opportunity for residents and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the transformative world of Van Gogh's masterpieces.”

 

Colm Graham, Head of Partnerships, Hospitality and Exhibition Sales at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, added: “We’re delighted that the public are as enthusiastic about Beyond Van Gogh as we are. The response from our community has been phenomenal with Ticket Quarter selling thousands of tickets already.  

 

We’re thrilled that the exhibition has been extended by a further ten days allowing so many more people to experience this exciting and dynamic event, and we’re really looking forward to working with Anna and her team to deliver the UK premiere.”

REVIEW of EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE AT THE LOWRY

Image
  EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE  AT THE LOWRY. Review by Natalie Anglesey   Yes indeed. Everybody is STILL Talking About Jamie, the hit musical which was warmly welcomed back to The Lowry last night. During its first visit the role of Jamie was played by Manchester's Layton Williams, who is soon to be seen on Strictly. Now there's a charismatic new star in the title role and when Ivano Turco is on stage it's difficult to notice anyone else. This new production will run at The Lowry from 7-17 th September launching its 2023-24 tour.   This critically acclaimed musical, brought standing ovations when it first arrived at The Lowry and has since proved a smash hit wherever it’s performed. Now, on its return, following a record-breaking three-year West End residency, a sold out UK & Ireland Tour and the Amazon studios award-winning film, the packed house responded equally enthusiastically. We are often told that sixteen is the age when all possibilities are within

The Osmond's new musical is coming to Manchester!  M y best friend was an avid Osmond fan in her teens and she still is. Personally I've had the pleasure of interviewing Donny Osmond for @BBCRadioManchester and I also became a fan!  It's that kind of unfailing dedication that the Osmonds have held on to over the past 50 plus years.Now Osmondmania is returning to Manchester with a musical by Jay Osmond which tells the story of the brothers from Utah who were in the spotlight as children and went on to sell over 100 million records gaining a huge army of fans. From their star residency on The  Andy Williams  Show, to the arrival of Donny and Marie, The Osmonds lived a remarkable life recording chart topping albums, selling out vast arena concerts and making record breaking TV shows - until one bad decision cost them everything. Directed by  Shaun Kerrison  and choreographed by Olivier Award winning  Bill Deamer , this brand new musical features a chart topping list of anthe

Twelve Angry Men at The Lowry - Review by Natalie Anglesey

  Twelve Angry Men The Lowry, Salford Review by Natalie Anglesey   Following previous record-breaking West End seasons, and a critically acclaimed tour in 2023, Bill Kenwright Ltd’s powerful production of  Twelve Angry Men  is at  The Lowry  this week until   2 nd  March 2024. Ever since the powerful fifties film starring Henry Fonda, which was nominated three times for Academy Awards, and since then, several stage productions over the years, this splendid court-room drama has never failed to impress me. Now there’s the chance for you to see Reginald Rose’s knife-edge courtroom drama at The Lowry all this week. The cast is now headed by  Jason Merrells  ( Casualty, Emmerdale )  taking over the role of Juror 8 from Patrick Duffy for the 2024 tour. He subtly holds  the whole production together. The cast also includes   Tristan Gemmill  ( Coronation Street, Casualty ),   Michael Greco  (EastEnders,   The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.) BenNealon  ( Soldier,Soldierand  Doctors)
