Life’s a drag but we love it

-

The nights are getting darker but Scarboroug­h theatregoe­rs can get a taste of the summer when one of the most popular shows in the Canary Islands visits for one night only.

The Music Hall Tavern theatre show comes to Scarboroug­h’s Spa Theatre on Saturday November 12 and a limited number of seats are still available.

Billed as the Funniest Night Out of the Year, the popular family-themed musical drag review has been playing in the Canary Islands for more than 20 years and has establishe­d itself as a firm favourite with UK visitors.

It features the Showcase Internatio­nal Dancers with live singing, comedy sketches and the music of Take That, Abba, Freddie Mercury, and Riverdance.

Many of the show’s fans, who range in age from nine to 99, go back year after year and demand from the UK led to the launch of an annual British tour in 2012.

Now in it’s fourth year the visit to Scarboroug­h is the 13th date of the 2016 tour which will see the “girls” play 24 venues across the UK before ending their run in London’s West End on November 27.

Founder, producer and lead cast member Paul Carroll says, “It’s a real feel good show that entertains people of all ages and leaves them wanting more.

“We have families and groups of work mates all enjoying the show from start to finish. The last three tours have sold so well that we just couldn’t resist returning for a fourth.

“I have been overwhelme­d by the support we have had both in the Canary Islands and in the UK.

“I really can’t wait for the opening night again, it’s the biggest show we have performed and will certainly have the wow factor like never before.”

There are still a small number of tickets available for Scarboroug­h and some of the tour’s other dates.
