This epic showcase and it’s longevity is a testament to it’s competence and ability to invigorate the audience and thrill them with cleverly staged pieces and skilful choreography. The costumes wow in every act and there’s a guarantee this will appeal to romantic and music aficionados from across the Lancashire region.
To summarise this ‘must see’ show, one critic puts it very aptly,
"Beautiful costumes, excellent voices and some fine acting too".
That should positively wipe out those winter blues.
