SUMMARY:Matilda The Musical
DESCRIPTION:The multi-award-winning musical (it has won more than 99 international awards) inspired by the Roald Dahl book touches down in Dubai for an eight-day run that has to be one of the highlights of the season. As the New York Post put it\, “Once in a blue moon\, a show comes out blazing and restores your faith in broadway. Matilda the Musical is that show”. \nThe script by Tony Award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly is excellent\, sticking close enough to the original but making the most of the live-action theatricality of the stage; Tim Minchin’s original songs are terrific\, mixing wit with sing-along choruses. And it’s a Royal Shakespeare Company production\, which is itself an assurance of quality and professionalism. The premium ticket price should be worth it … \nMatilda The Musical is directed by Matthew Warchus. Sets and costumes are by Rob Howell\, with choreography by Peter Darling. All three are also Tony winners\, along with the lighting director Hugh Vanstone. Matilda the Musical plays daily at 8pm between 10 and 15 October; there are also 2pm matinées on 14 and 15 October.

SUMMARY:Dana Gingras and Animals of Distinction: FRONTERA
DESCRIPTION:A second performance for this visually stunning spectacle of propulsive dance\, dazzling lighting\, and powerful live music from the Canadian experimental post rock band Fly Pan Am. Choreographer Dana Gingras and her Montreal-based dance company Animals of Distinction explore spaces of inclusion and exclusion\, tackling borders as boundaries between the public and private realms; “borders are boundaries\, but they’re also processes\, liminal spaces where despair\, desire and neoliberal economic imperatives meet the obscure(d) operations of power”.  Another example of The Arts Center’s useful partnership with Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.

SUMMARY:Laughter Factory: “Menace To Society” Tour
DESCRIPTION:Four more standups\, perhaps a bit more varied than usual and featuring a couple of good local comics on the bill for a change. Dana Alexander (originally from Canada\, now based there and in the UK) tours a lot and has been a hit in Dubai before; her style has been described as “smart\, irreverent and revolutionary” which bodes well. Jimmy Mcghie is another hard-working international tourer\, whose 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show was reviewed in the Scotsman as “one of the most accomplished hours of comedy you will find here this month. Or\, to be honest\, anywhere\, any time …” If loose Women was more outrageous\, Dubai’s very own Bronwyn Byrnes would be a regular – we’re promised “a hilarious journey of life in Dubai”. Also UAE-based is Miqdaad Dohadwala\, who founded the comedy collective VDesi Laughs and has been seen regularly at gigs in Dubai. \nThe dates: \n\n13 Oct Movenpick JBR\, Dubai\n14 Oct Movenpick JBR\, Dubai\n19 Oct Park Rotana\, Abu Dhabi\n20 Oct Media Rotana\, Al Barsha Heights\, Dubai\n21 Oct Dukes Hotel\, The Palm Dubai
