“This is where I used to come for holidays for days out.
“It’s a big theatre, it’s a fantastic place to perform, even if there are a lot of steps to the dressing rooms!”
For Suzanne, the show is as big an attraction as the venue, a chance to perform with an all female lead cast.
“It’s the story of five young women trying to find themselves and what the about through an agony aunt.

“They’ll be dancing in the aisles,” added Niki.
“There’s so many great songs.
“I was surprised how many I knew when we looked down the list and heard them.
“And the cast is fantastic.
“We’ve only met this week and already we’ve just clicked.
“It’s going to be fantastic - really one for the girls - to celebrate women in the sixties.
“Sometimes it’s a gamble with a new musical but not this one, everyone knows the tunes, literally every song is a hit.”
For Amelia Lily, 21, the show is a dream come true.
