The Lion King or West Side Story? You can find it in our new What's On!

My favourite Disney story is in the cinema again! I can't believe it and  I have never actually seen it in the cinema, though we had  tickets for the film. Unfortunately the night before I got chicken pox and I couldn't go anywhere, so I missed it. But if you have the time you can go to Chapter this Saturday and watch the story about little Simba and his adventures again.
Even if you are not a Disney fan, Chapter has the ultimate romance for you and the biggest love story from New York - West Side Story. A different version of the  Shakespeare's famous Romeo and Juliet but with a hint of gangs, enemies and with music by Leonard Bernstein.
In the event you are not free over the weekend, we have more options for spending your free time below and I hope you will find something.
So hakuna matata!

The two gangs are sworn enemies, and nothing Maria or Tony can say will dissuade them from the violence which leads to the film’s heart–breaking finale.
