She formed the group in 1983 and in spite of all efforts to kill it off several times\, Fascinating Aïda is still going after very nearly 42 years. The group has performed on five continents and garnered 3 Olivier Nominations and 3 Drama Desk nominations. \n\n\n\nLive performance is her first love and she intends to go on performing till infirmity or the Grim Reaper intervenes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n£25.00 \n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTickets prices:£25.00 \n\n\n\nAll prices include any booking fees \n\n\n\nDates & times:Tuesday 25 February 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nAge guidance:14+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Theatre Chipping Norton\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThe Theatre Chipping Norton\, sometimes called The Theatre\, Chipping Norton or Chipping Norton Theatre\, is a theatre\, an arthouse cinema\, a gallery and a concert hall in Chipping Norton. \n\n\n\nThe theatre has has 217 seats\, including stalls and a balcony.
