Alexandra Theatre

Then we went to Tuesday, the 22nd of September at Usher Hall in Edinburgh.

Then there was a day off and reconvened on Thursday, the 24th of September at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham.

The Friday, the 25th of September, the Opera House in Manchester.

Then we had the weekend off, which was quite polite and nice for a tour to have a little weekend off.

And, yeah, it's really nice to have these comments and stuff.

So I thought I would... follow up and do a little bit of research for you and do an episode around what you said because i think it definitely deserves a mention so we're gonna head backstage to two historic birmingham theaters all right where the show apparently doesn't always end when the curtain comes down The Alexandra Theatre has stories of a former manager who may still be keeping an eye on his beloved building, a mysterious woman dressed in grey and a strange activity in the auditorium and backstage corridors.

At the Birmingham Hippodrome, a story involving a black cloaked figure seen in the theatre box has become one of the most intriguing ghost tales.

So settle in, turn down the lights and imagine the sound of an empty theatre after midnight.

This is Ghosts Behind the Curtain, Birmingham's haunted theatres.

The Alexandra Theatre stands in the heart of Birmingham, a city better known for its industry, music and busy streets than for ghost stories.

But the Alex has been entertaining audiences for well over a century and behind its stage curtains lies a history of performers, managers, stagehands and audiences who have passed through its doors.

The theatre first opened in 1901 originally as the Lyceum before becoming the Alexandra Theatre in 1902.
