Laycock Street Theatre has a full and fabulous array of musical and comedy shows coming up that are sure to please all tastes and ages.
On October 11 at 11am, the theatre hosts The Dolly Show – Morning Melodies, a show that brilliantly captures the voice and verve of the little lady from Tennessee.
Kelly O’Brien transforms into an uncanny Dolly Parton and accompanied by her fantastic band, performs Dolly’s greatest hits including 9 to 5, Joelene and Islands in the Stream.
Fresh from a UK tour, this show is fantastic fun and popular with Dolly devotees and debutantes alike.
Broadway to Ballet is a break away from the Central Dance Company’s usual repertoire of a full ballet from the classics, opening with a toe-tapping Broadway trip down memory lane through some memorable musicals under the expert guidance of Darren Disney.
The journey from Broadway to Ballet sees some stunning and iconic pas de deux from two leading guest professionals, Janae Kerr and Alex Cox, along with the CDC dancers who bring a Gershwin wonderland of dance to the stage.
Two performances will be held on October 7 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
Based on the 2005 film of the same name and inspired by a true story, Kinky Boots tells the tale of Charlie Price, a young man who faces the unenviable task of trying to reverse the fortunes of his family’s flailing shoe factory.
