1. See soulful, blues-based rock band Xander and the Peace Pirates play a gig in Bromley Cross on Friday night. The group – which plays a weekly slot at Liverpool’s The Cavern Club and has supported stadium rockers Bon Jovi – will be at the Railway Venue.
2. Get down to the Octagon Theatre for the opening weekend of one of Arthur Miller’s most powerful productions. A View from the Bridge – described as powerful, gripping, witty and profoundly moving – will be staged on Saturday and until February 14.
3. Support talented local performers and enjoy a play being staged by Farnworth Little Theatre. Gentle satirical comedy The Secret Lives Of Henry And Alice sees domestic quibbling given a rigorous once-over and is on from Saturday.
4. Catch a record-breaking king of a musical as it roars back into Manchester. The Lion King will be brought to dazzling life at the Palace Theatre using masks, puppets and striking costumes, from Saturday.
5. A family pantomime is being staged in Bolton – oh yes it is! With bags of fun and audience participation, Victoria Hall ADS will perform Jack and the Beanstalk on Friday, Saturday and subsequent dates.
