Anything Goes
he SS America sets sail from New York to London. Onboard is a glorious collection of colourful 1930s characters – a lovesick stowaway, a brassy nightclub evangelist with an eye for the men, a beautiful debutante and her doting (but dotty) mother, a boozy and lecherous old tycoon, a bumbling gangster disguised as a priest, a silly-ass English Lord with a mysterious past and a whole ship full of tap-dancing sailors and high-kicking chorus girls!
Oliver
Due to popular demand we bring one of the best-loved British musicals back to Liverpool – ‘Oliver!’
‘Oliver!’ is the unforgettable musical telling the tale of the boy who dared to ask for “more”!
The musical is packed with rousing songs such as ‘Food, Glorious Food’, ‘Consider Yourself’ and ‘Oom Pah Pah’ – although the mood swings back and forth, encompassing Oliver’s hauntingly tearful ‘Where Is Love?’ and Nancy’s soul-searching song, ‘As Long As He Needs Me’. Throw in Mr Bumble’s ‘Boy For Sale’, ‘Who Will Buy’ with its Victorian street-sellers and Fagin ruefully yet mischievously ‘Reviewing the Situation’, and you have a recipe for a great night out for all the family.
