As lockdown restrictions ease tickets have gone on sale this weekend for performances at Colchester's Mercury Theatre.
The pandemic has meant they've had to delay their September 2020 opening following a multi million pound revamp.
The theatre has a new bar built on the original car park, a new rehearsal room, a new dance studio, a new creative learning space for the Mercury Youth Company and the auditorium has been completely re-upholstered.
