SHE’S BACK!
‘Step inside love…I
want you to stay!”
(Lennon-McCartney)
Yes
she’s back! The irrepressible, fabulous
Victoria Jones will reprise her starring role as Cilla Black in the UK’s top
touring show, Cilla and the Shades of the 60s, as it rolls into the autumn with
extra dates to match public demand for tickets.
This
perfect musical stage show for families, Cilla fans and pop music fans of all
ages, was a smash hit on its debut tour last year and repeated box office
business earlier this year. ‘Cilla and
the Shades of the 60s’ stars the effervescent Victoria Jones as Cilla (left)
and Eloise Tasker, Joanna Walters and Chanelle Nicole as The Shades. Together, through music, song, dance, and
witty comedy, they take the audience on a poptastic musical journey starting
with the discovery of the teenage Cilla at Liverpool’s famous Cavern Club and
presents many of the biggest hits by artists who changed the world of popular
entertainment in the 1960s including Cilla, Dusty, Lulu, Tina Turner, the
Beatles and more.
The
show features highlights of Cilla’s stellar career: by the time Cilla was 21
she was working with Beatles’ producer George Martin and was at No. 1 with
‘You’re My World’ and ‘Anyone Who Had A Heart’.
She was Britain’s No. 1 female singer during the 1960s and subsequently
became the most popular TV presenter with her own TV show ‘Cilla’ which ran
1966-1978 and ‘Blind Date’ which ran for a record breaking 18 years.
Says
Victoria Jones: “When I was growing up in Liverpool I loved watching Cilla on
TV but it wasn’t till later that I discovered her music – and wow, I was
hooked! I was thrilled by her vocal
range; her ballads are beautiful and she gave every song an emotional depth
that was completely new to me as a budding singer. She really inspired me to develop my voice
and my performance.
“I
love performing in this show and I feel so lucky and proud to be associated
with Cilla. Cilla became a huge star at
an incredibly new and exciting time for popular music; she was a trailblazer -
she became the first woman to have her own television show and she remained
relevant to generations of people. This
show gives me the opportunity of celebrating the sound and fashion of a
generation of amazing women. We always
have a great time onstage - I guarantee lots of great music and a lorra lorra
laughs! We even have a ‘Blind Date’
section involving a member of the audience!”
