Tiger Bay Musical
A Wales Millennium Centre production in association with Cape Town Opera
CTO proudly continues its partnership with the Wales Millennium Centre by hosting the opening performances of the musical Tiger Bay.
Tiger Bay is a riotous family musical set in the docks of Cardiff at a time when coal was king. Filled with rousing music and a cast of unforgettable characters, Tiger Bay is a universal story of courage, reconciliation and love. With Olivier- and Tony-award nominated director Melly Still leading an outstanding British creative team, this short run will be a rare opportunity to be the first to see a major new international musical.
