West End star Ria Jones is indulging HOME with an evening of music and laughter guaranteed to delight lovers of musical theatre and power ballads. On Friday 9 July, Jones will perform highlights from her 40-year career, which has included iconic performances whilst embodying roles like Eva Peron, Mama Rose, and Norma Desmond, Grizabella, Fantine and Mrs Overall in Acorn Antiques.

The last time intergalactic musical duo and cult cabaret hit Bourgeois & Maurice were at HOME they performed an all singing-all-dancing show about the end of the world. Then the world actually ended. We’re pretty sure the two weren’t related – but we can’t wait to hear what they have to say about the situation when they make their long awaited return to Manchester this summer. Outrageous, hilarious and packed full of songs that are catchier and more contagious than some sort of air-born, world-altering virus (imagine that) – a night with Bourgeois & Maurice isn’t one you forget in a hurry.
