Wales Millennium Centre brings to the stage its brand new show Tiger Bay the Musical this autumn.
It will bring the story of South Wales’ coal trade to life, right on location in Cardiff, from 13 to 25 November.
The cast of West End and Broadway stars is joined by Casualty actress Suzanne Packer as Landlady Marisha, and Hear’Say’s Noel Sullivan.
Set to a rousing musical score, shop girls, coal miners, donkeymen, sailors, suffragettes, immigrants, and a lively gang of raggedy urchin Water Boys all believe that through hard work they too may prosper from King Coal.
But when unionism imperils profits, the ambitious Harbour Master, the Bute Dock Company and the merchants of the Coal Exchange threaten their livelihoods and dreams of a brighter future.
A fictional story of revolution, reconciliation, courage and love, the award-winning creative team, including composer Daf James, writer Michael Williams and director Melly Still, have remained sympathetic to the sights and sounds of the bawdy public houses and alleyways of old Butetown, Cardiff – Britain's flamboyant multi-ethnic community at the dawn of the 20th century.
