Rock ‘n’ roll variety show That’ll Be The Day hits the stage in Worthing

“Combining uproarious comedy sketches and impersonations with breathtaking vocals and dazzling musicianship, That’ll Be The Day takes you on a spirited journey through the years, celebrating the most iconic moments in comedy, rock ‘n’ roll, and pop culture from the 50s right through to the 80s”, says spokeswoman Romy Journee.

Dates include the Pavilion Theatre, Worthing, September 23; Kings Theatre, Southsea, September 24; Theatre Royal Brighton, September 30; and Mayflower Theatre, Southampton, October 10.

“First performed in 1988, That’ll Be The Day has built a long-standing reputation for five-star quality entertainment that entices audiences to return year after year. This sensational show has been touring solidly for over three decades, performing to over five million people nationwide and playing over 200 performances yearly. Unashamedly nostalgic and relentlessly entertaining, audiences are invited to travel back in time with the show’s outstanding ensemble cast and immerse themselves in a night of effervescent music and comedy by the 20th century’s most revered superstars.

“The autumn tour of this production will be infused with the same unique formula that fans have come to know and love, promising some old favourites as well as some thrilling new additions that will delight both old and new fans alike. That’ll Be The Day has also raised more than £1 million for Childline, Make A Wish, Help for Heroes and the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal through post-show bucket collections.”

Trevor Payne, director, producer and vocalist for That’ll Be The Day, said: “Well, here we are, just starting rehearsals for That’ll Be The Day show 38! Over the years, we’ve always strived for excellence both in performance and production.

" We have developed a close relationship with our many loyal fans, and our aim every year is to give them an evening to remember and to lift spirits.”
