From the producers of Hairspray, Midnight Tango and West Side Story
comes a hilarious feel-good musical featuring Elvis Presley’s greatest hits
and starring the award-winning and platinum-album-selling singer Mica
Paris. The high-octane cast also includes Shaun Williamson (EastEnders,
Extras); Ben Lewis (Love Never Dies Australia); and Sian Reeves (Emmerdale,
Cutting It). In a small town in 1950’s America, a guitar-playing, hip-swivelling
stranger rides his motorbike into town. Is he "The Devil in Disguise" or a
"Hound Dog" in his "Blue Suede Shoes"? The townsfolk are about to be
"All Shook Up" and could be headed for "Heartbreak Hotel", but for Natalie,
the love-struck, tomboy mechanic, it really is "Now or Never". Packed with
25 of the best-loved songs by The King himself, Love Me Tender, by the
writer of the award-wining West End and Broadway smash hit Memphis,
is a funny and moving tale of hope, second chances and the healing qualities
of Rock 'n' Roll.
7.30pm (Thurs & Sat matinee, 2.30pm). Price: £12.90-£50.90.

Following a four-month run
in London’s West End in
2001 and successful
international tours selling
out theatres, stadiums and
concert halls, comes this
award-winning, critically
acclaimed ABBA tribute.

as one of the top authentic ABBA experiences, and is not to be missed!
They have toured and sold out numerous prestigious UK theatres, and have
visited India, Norway, France, Holland, Sweden, East Africa, Latvia, Belgium,
Germany and Australia. The ABBA Reunion Tribute Show gives ABBA fans,
old and new, the opportunity to once again get together and re-live the
addictive ABBA phenomena that swept the airwaves and discos during the
70s and 80s in a truly feel good party style concert.
