Live Theatre Is On Its Way Back Home
Come Back Home
Darlington Hippodrome
Thursday 24th
to Sunday 27th June 2021
A local north east theatre company will herald
the return of live theatre with a specially devised, socially distanced ‘Come
Back Home’ musical theatre concert at Darlington Hippodrome in June.
Following one of the most difficult periods for
theatres worldwide there are glimmers of hope for a return to normality just
around the corner.
Having been just five weeks away from opening
night of a show back in March 2020, Darlington Operatic Society are now poised
to be the first to bring live theatre back to Darlington Hippodrome with a specially
conceived concert they are calling their Come Back Home show.
Audiences are promised over two hours of
musical theatre hit after hit with a fusion of live performance and video
projection following all the social distancing guidelines for performance
currently in place. The show will feature songs from the likes of Les
Miserables, Cabaret, Dear Evan Hansen, The Book of Mormon, Six, The Bodyguard
and many, many more.
Spokesman Julian Cound said “We have been
working on this production since September of 2020 – we originally hoped we
could present it in December last year but the third lockdown put a halt to
that. We are in a great position to be one of the first companies to bring the
thrill and joy of live theatre to Darlington audiences in a safe atmosphere.”
Julian continued “Come Back Home will run for just six performances from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 June to a socially distanced auditorium. Almost a quarter of the tickets have already been snapped up and we have only been on sale for a couple of weeks so it would be advisable to book early. We are so grateful to Creative Darlington and Darlington For Culture for their financial assistance with this production.”
Tickets:
Come Back Home runs
at Darlington Hippodrome from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 June with matinee
performances on the Saturday and Sunday.
