‘Get the dates in the diary’
Andrew Howard, Head of Audiences, Marketing and Sales at Blackpool Grand Theatre, said: “September is one of those months that captures everything a theatre can be. A child might see their very first live show with Peppa Pig, while somebody else comes to rediscover the music that has followed them for most of their life.
“In between, there is a brilliant thriller, Bollywood storytelling, breathtaking voices, laughter, nostalgia and the shared thrill of being in a room when something happens live. What I love most is that no two visits will feel remotely the same.
“Many of these shows are with us for one night only, so this really is a month to look ahead, choose the performances you don’t want to miss and get those dates into the diary.”
