Marisha last appeared in the resort at last year’s Royal Variety Performance which was filmed at Blackpool Opera House as well as her stand-out performance during Lytham Festival 2019.

Ben Hatton, director of touring theatre for Cuffe and Taylor said: “Both Marisha and Elesha are incredible performers, and we’re delighted to be working with them this autumn as theatres reopen across the country.

“Marisha has been blowing audiences away with her performances at the enormous London Coliseum, so to see her in an intimate venue like the Lowther Pavilion is an experience not to be missed.

“Elesha has the fantastic dual skill of recreating the stunning voice of Whitney Houston and the power-packed rock energy of Tina Turner in these two very different shows.

"Whichever artist you’re a fan of the Opera House is the perfect venue to celebrate these much-loved musical legends.”

Cuffe and Taylor director Peter Taylor added: “On the back of our live events in Scarborough through the summer and WonderHall at Lytham, we’re so excited to be bringing live theatre back across the country.

“Tours like these are the perfect antidote to the challenging times so many people have had; they’re a chance to get family and friends together and to celebrate the very best music in great venues.”

Elesha Paul Moses

While fans of The X Factor and The Voice will recognise Elesha from her appearances on the reality TV talent shows, Elesha now tours extensively across the UK starring as both Tina Turner and Whitney Houston.
