JACK AND SARAH

A World Premiere

Dates: April 23rd  - Jun 13th

Based on the much-loved 1995 film starring Richard E. Grant and Dame Judi Dench, JACK AND SARAH is a heartwarming, witty, and unexpected romantic comedy about finding love, family, and second chances in the most unlikely places.

When Jack, a workaholic lawyer, is suddenly left to raise his baby daughter alone, his carefully ordered world unravels. Enter Amy, a free-spirited au pair with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Against all odds, and with a little help (and hindrance) from an eccentric cast of family and friends, their two very different worlds collide in the most surprising and life-affirming way.

Packed with sharp humour, tender moments, and a generous dose of 90s charm, JACK AND SARAH is a joyous new production about the messy, unpredictable enchantment of life and love.

This show performs the music of Genesis and the solo projects Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Mike & The Mechanics. Hits spanning from the late 70s onwards including; Turn it On again, Sledgehammer, In The Air Tonight, Over My Shoulder, Against All Odds, That's All, The Living Years and many more.

The frontman is not only an incredibly versatile vocalist, he is also a truly gifted drummer just like Phil Collins. So expect the show to include the well known "DOUBLE DRUMS" element as featured on every Genesis and Phil Collins tour.

VOICE OF THE HEART – KAREN CARPENTER

It is now just over 30 years since the legendary Karen Carpenter passed away, she left behind an amazing catalogue of hit songs and golden memories and is still played daily on radio stations throughout the UK. This stunning show celebrates the music of The Carpenters, and the evening is guaranteed to lead everyone through a magical memory.

YESTERDAY ONCE MORE, GOODBYE TO LOVE, CLOSE TO YOU, ONLY YESTERDAY all the hits that every Carpenters fan adores. Plus great medleys put together from their many album tracks, songs that link together from The Beatles –MR POSTMAN, TICKET TO RIDE & HELP, a superb Bacharach and David medley featuring renditions of DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE, ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME, to name but two of these timeless classics. A Carpenters country medley with TOP OF THE WORLD, SWEET SWEET SMILE, & JAMBALAYA is in great contrast to the sad and perhaps most popular songs on her last and most poignant album Voice Of The Heart.  

With superb vocals from local lady CAROLE GORDON and outstanding talent from the brilliant BLUE JEANS BAND & SINGERS it will be a “sparkling” night to remember.
