THE STORY OF DOO-WOP

Join the UK’s premier Doo-Wop quartet, The Testosta-Tones, as they take you on a musical journey detailing the history of Doo-Wop.

During the early 1950’s, quartets sung on street corners, in barbershops and churches in a style which became known as Doo-Wop, paving the way for rock ‘n’ roll. As the groups moved from the streets into recording studios, so the popularity of the genre grew.

Along with radio disc jockey and your host for the evening Chuck Anderson, The Testosta-Tones will perform such popular songs as Blue Moon, Earth Angel, Why Do Fools Fall in Love, Runaround Sue, Teenager in Love among many others, presenting ‘The Story of Doo-Wop’ and demonstrating how the genre influenced and created mainstream music during the 1950’s and has seen resurgences in most decades since and still influences contemporary music.

Bright Sparks Panto is proud to present

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – at Christmas.

Join us this December as we bring our latest Fabulous Family Panto to the stage in the historic Jubilee Hall.

In a retelling of the classic fairy-tale, a beautiful and kind-hearted young girl is forced out of her home on her 18th birthday by her wicked and jealous step-mother, the Evil Queen, after she finds out from her Magic Mirror that she is no longer the fairest of them all. The Queen orders her henchman to take her into the woods and ‘do what needs to be done’. Booooooo!

Is Snow White’s fate sealed? Will the Henchman be able to do the deed? Or will she find safety?

Travel with Snow White and all her friends on their journey from the Palace through the deep dark wood to the curious cottage, and on down the ‘mazing mine. And don’t forget to stop off at the Tavern for a spot of Christmas Karaoke on the way.

There’ll be Christmassy carousing, yuletide yelling and festive frolics a-plenty.

Bright Sparks Panto is renowned for our professional standard, big budget amateur pantomimes, with humorous scripts, colourful sets and lavish costumes. With an age range from 8 to 80 (years young) the group rehearses tirelessly to ensure a highly polished show.

The Bright Sparks Family Panto is back – it’ll be like we’ve never been away!
