Qdos Entertainment
QDOS Entertainment plc (Qdos) is recognised within the arts and entertainment industry as one of the most successful theatrical producers in the UK. Qdos’ success can be directly attributed to the diversity and quality of the shows it produces and the experience and passion of the company’s production teams, supported by the company’s proactive and creative marketing and communications function.
At the core of Qdos’ work is its annual staging of pantomimes at number one venues around the country. The company’s 2006/07 season has twenty productions in the UK with others in Ireland and South Africa. The fact that over one and a half million people attend the company’s pantomimes annually is indicative of the quality and value for money of the productions.
Some of the ‘top of the bill’ names in its 2006/07 season include Joe Pasquale, Nigel Havers, Julian Clary, The Chuckle Brothers, Brian Conley, John Barrowman, Jill Halfpenny, Jack Ellis, Lesley Joseph and Cannon & Ball.
Qdos also stages a continuous diary of productions throughout the year. Over the past number of years the company has produced and co-produced stage musicals and concerts tours for both the West End and Regional touring. These include ‘The King and I’ at the London Palladium, a world tour of ‘Happy Days’ and a national tour of ‘Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story’ (with Paul Elliott).
Current and recent productions include major tours to number one venues of ‘Boogie Nights - The 70s Musical’, ‘Boogie Nights 2 - The 80s Musical’, Elaine Paige in Concert, ‘Zipp - The Musical’, Joe Pasquale Live and The Chuckle Brothers’ tours. The company is currently staging a hugely successful national tour of its latest production, ‘Simply Ballroom’ and is reviving its hugely-successful show, Boogie Nights - the 70s musical, which begins its 10th anniversary tour in 2007.
