Matinée

SUNDAY 13th APRIL 2.30pm

Join top magician Danny Lee Grew in his brand-new mind-boggling one-man show 24K Magic, featuring jaw-dropping magic, illusion, laughs, gasps, and stunning sleight of hand sorcery.

You may have seen him on Susan Calman’s Summer by the Sea (Channel 5), The Real Stories of the Social Network (ITV/CBS America) or even on stage here at the West Cliff Theatre in The Summer Show (2018 / 2019) or Jimmy Cricket’s Laughter Show.

Danny is a popular live performer who recently completed the UK theatre tour of Marvels of Mystery, the live production of BBC’s The Good Old Days at the legendary Leeds City Varieties; plus he was handpicked to host The Magic Circle Christmas Show… an annual festive tradition in London’s West End since 1967.

Danny has entertained the likes of David Beckham, James Corden and Chris Hemsworth, and now he brings his 24K Magic to his hometown. Prepare to be amazed and astounded.

Celebrate a golden era of music and laughter as we remember the songs and stars of the ‘fabulous fifties’ and ‘swinging sixties!’

This sparkling, foot-tapping, feel-good show evokes the wonderful mix of entertainment that accompanied the optimistic youth of the postwar generation, and is packed with nearly fifty singalong hits.

Musical entertainers Andy Eastwood and Pete Lindup bring us songs from not only the rock & roll stars like Bill Haley and Buddy Holly, but variety artists such as Morecambe and Wise, and even George Formby, while vocalist Helen Farrell pays tribute to Connie Francis, The Cilla Black and Doris Day.

Andy and Helen will be familiar faces at the West Cliff as they have both been popular stars in our Summer and Christmas shows! They are joined by special guest star Lonnie Donegan Jnr, son of the legendary ‘King of Skiffle’, so influential in the British music scene. Lonnie will bring back nostalgic memories of his father with all the big hit songs.

Accompanied by the Wendy Richardson Band, this will be a memorable afternoon of wonderful live music and variety. Why not bring a party?
