Anna, Eva, Rose, Gladys and La La had only two things in common when they met seven months ago: a park bench and a life well-lived. Through fond memories, keen observations, wisdom, wit and a good belly laugh, these gals are truly on the cusp of eighty, going on eighteen. Each one unwittingly prepares for the day they leave the bench, perhaps for the last time. As the journey unfolds the fearless five realise that, perhaps, the grim reaper is not so grim after all! Described as Sex and the City on Sanatogen 'Five Blue Haired Ladies' celebrates the very noble art of growing old disgracefully.

A rock'n'roll comedy musical featuring over 20 hits of the fabulous 50s and 60s. Wednesday 3 Feb 1959 is a date which will live forever in music history as "the day the music died". As Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper left by plane from the snow-bound Ballroom at Clear Lake, Iowa, little did they know it was to be their last ever concert. This is a musical tale which will soar straight to your feet, heart and soul: Buddy, Ritchie, the Bopper and Roger Peterson, their pilot, are discovered in a celestial bar situated somewhere between Heaven and earth. The bartender is a mysterious girl called Stella, a soda-mixing mentor who is there to guide them on their third and final step to Heaven.
"Peggy Sue", "La Bamba", "C'mon Everybody", "Chantilly Lace" are just some of the songs in this hilarious, clever and touching musical story of three great rock'n'roll names. A Stage One Theatre Company Production Tickets: Matinee - All Seats £7.50 Evening - All Seats £10.50 (Concessions: £8.50) |
