ben sidwell went to meet the theatre staff to see how it went, as well as the cast and crew of priscilla, queen of the desert. # i spent, oh, so many nights. when you go through a dark time that we ve all gone through, it s been so magical to come back. everyone was just so happy to be there and it feels amazing. # i will survive. it s been a long time since the stage was set and the seats were full at the birmingham hippodrome. almost 18 months ago, the curtain fell due to covid leaving nearly everyone in the industry out of work. i was lucky enough to secure an at homejob. i worked for a dog food delivery service. stop! mm. and now. now look at her! yeah, so i did that. i had a few friends that weren t successful in getting at home jobs, because if you ve been successful in theatre you don t really have much experience in anything else. during lockdown, many of the cast of priscilla, queen of the desert had to find another career. kevin yates from wolverhampton

EVERYTHING should have been Beautiful for Jordan Fox in 2020. “I was in the tour of Beautiful, the Carole King musical, at the start of the year, and then that got cancelled by the pandemic lockdown,” says the West End actor from West Yorkshire. Based in London for the past couple of years, starring in Kinky Boots and Friendsical, the Friends-parodying musical, Jordan has moved back to Yorkshire in lockdown. Now he finds himself in the title role – Jack, not the allotment staple – in York Stage’s pantomime, Jack And The Beanstalk, from Friday at Theatre @41 Monkgate, York. “Me and Nik [writer-director Nik Briggs] went to university together at Bretton Hall [the Grade 2 listed building on the Yorkshire Sculpture Park estate, near Wakefield]. It was like Hogwarts! I loved it!” says Jordan, who studied there from 2006 to 2009.
