Wednesday 17 June - 20 June 2026

"The pinnacle moment of the night comes when Jenna sings, She Used to be Mine and Carrie Hope Fletcher certainly had the audience under her spell with her emotionally goose-bumping rendition, which really packed a punch with the audience - I definitely witnessed tears."

Plus Interview with Steps superstar, Faye Tozer!

Meet The Plastics – Regina, Gretchen and Karen. They rule North Shore High and will burn anyone who gets in their way. Home-schooled Cady Heron may think she knows a thing or two about survival of the fittest thanks to her zoologist parents, but high school is a whole new level of savage. When Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung. Expect iconic characters, razor-sharp wit, and killer songs.

The Overtones Star in Dance Spectacular Jukebox Idols

Saturday 13 June
Cliffs Pavilion, Southend

"The animated screen backgrounds sometimes competed with the dancers for attention, and it was a shame not to have had a live band performing. But in short, if you’ve been yearning for the kind of memorable music and good old-fashioned entertainment that defined decades past, Jukebox Idols is exactly where you’ll find it."

REVIEW

Cheek & Cherries! Cabaret
Balmoral Community Centre
Westcliff-on-Sea

".....there was something special about this naughty party going off in a Westcliff-on-Sea backstreet. In a month where the promotion of Pride in libraries was banned by Essex Council, a reminder that the theatre has always been a grass roots space of safety and rebellion."

Cheek & Cherries returns to Balmoral Community Centre in November, early bird tickets will be on sale soon!

THEY'RE COMING BACK!!!

The Bootleg Beatles In Concert 2026-2027 Bootleg Beatles

​Saturday 10th April 2027 – Cliffs Pavilion SOUTHEND Southend Theatres

With more than a little help from their orchestra, this multi-media show will plot the course of The Beatles’ rise to fame from the Liverpool Cavern, when Ringo first joined the band in August 1962, to their London rooftop finale in January 1969

REVIEW
✭✭✭✭✭ 5/5

‘A MAN OF TWO WORLDS TOUR’ Midge Ure

2nd June 2026 Southend Cliffs Pavilion Southend Theatres

"The show builds upon the retrospective of Midge’s catalogue and shows that there’s more to him than just the sound of minimalist synth-pop."
