What a crazy group! 🤪

Despite the seriousness of the show, our cast of Dear Evan Hansen had such a laugh backstage with plenty of jokes, silly ring tones and TikTok trends that went over a lot of our heads! 😆

To continue those laughs on stage our next show - Ladies Day - is the perfect trick for that! 🐎

Ladies’ Day is an uplifting, laugh-out-loud comedy by Amanda Whittington about friendship, courage and starting again.

When four women from Hull lose their jobs, they seize an unexpected opportunity working Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot. Funny, moving and full of heart, Ladies’ Day is a feel-good play that celebrates ordinary women doing extraordinary things. 😆

Grab your tickets for this hilarious play! 🥳

📆Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th July
⏰ 7.30pm start (Bar opens from 6.30pm)
