With the whole country back in lockdown this month and theatres and music venues amongst the hardest hit from the current pandemic, the UK’s number one rock and roll variety show is back – helping to save Christmas one stream at a time, for Frome audiences.
That’ll Be The Day may not be able to tour right now and our theatres are unable to open their doors, but nothing can stop this popular show, now approaching its 35th anniversary year, from rocking and a rollin.’
Supported with funding from Arts Council England, the show has partnered with Frome Memorial Theatre to deliver the brand new Christmas show online direct into people’s homes on Friday 4th December, with up to £4.25 per stream going to help support Frome Memorial Theatre through these challenging times.
The pre-recorded show includes the best pop Christmas classics and traditional Christmas songs along with hilarious comedy routines. Plus, Trevor and some of the cast will be live online on the evening, pre-show, during the interval and after-show to answer questions, chat and share a virtual sherry online!
Trevor Payne, producer and director says, “We are very much looking forward to working on this exciting project. A lot of people find themselves stuck at home in the lead up to Christmas and these are very challenging times for everyone.
“We are asking fans to dress as if they’re going to the theatre and make an evening of it to help everyone get in the festive mood and we are hoping to bring a little bit of Christmas magic to them, in the only way that we can, for now!”
For many, the That’ll Be The Day Christmas Special is the essential start to their festive season. Let this year be no different! Join some of the cast online for a rollercoaster sleigh ride through the ‘golden’ age of Rock & Roll and Pop – a sparkling mix of Christmas hits, fun and nostalgia with that guaranteed ‘festive feel good’ factor.
