Cilla And The Shades Of The 60s was the smash hit musical stage show of 2017 and is proving to be just as popular in 2018!

Cilla and the Shades of the 60s stars the effervescent Victoria Jones as Cilla and Leanne Kyte, Rebecca Lauren, and Jazmin Patey-Ford as vocal trio the Shades.  Together Cilla and the Shades take the audience on a pop-tastic musical journey starting with the discovery of the teenage singer, Cilla Black, 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. Cilla was Britain’s No. 1 female singer during the 1960s; she became the most popular television presenter with her own show Cilla which ran 1966-1978 and Blind Date which ran for a record breaking 18 years.

Says star Victoria Jones, “Growing up in Liverpool I knew Cilla as a television presenter but when I discovered her music I was amazed by her vocal range and her emotional depth.  I find her ballads so beautiful and she portrays heartbreak in a truly moving way.  Her passion has always inspired me – in fact I think I was born in the wrong decade!

I love performing in this show – we always have a great time onstage and hope that the audience just has a fab evening – I guarantee lots of great music and a lorra lorra laughs!  We even have a ‘Blind Date’ section involving a member of the audience!”
