THE BLONDIE EXPERIENCE is a celebration of the punk rock legend, Blondie. From its first hit, Heart of Glass in 1978, through the career highs of Atomic, Hangin' on the Telephone, One way or Another and The Tide is High, this iconic group, still performing now, creates a musical legacy spanning nearly 50 years!

The production, featuring Lucy Edge as Debbie Harry, brings Blondie to a new level with this electrifying show. This original production features trivia, unique stories, all the top hits and some special cover songs. This really is a show not to be missed.

The show takes you on a journey through Blondie's iconic career and you forget how many incredible hits it had, such as Maria, Sunday Girl and Call Me. The musicality is unreal, played by top class musicians who have toured all over the world and really bring this show to life.

9 to 5 The Musical

At: Bridlington Spa Theatre

Tue 11 to Sat 15 August

Tickets from £35

 

  • Due to popular demand, Landmark Theatres are delighted to announce that the Uk tour of 9 To 5 The Musical, the ultimate feel-good musical comedy, has been extended and heads to Bridlington Spa from Tue 11 to Sat 15 August.

    With a star cast set to be announced, tickets go on general sale on Fri 6 February and are now on sale exclusively to Bridlington Spa Membership Holders from Thu 5 Feb at 11.30am.

     

    With sass, style, and a whole lot of ‘Dolly’ sparkle the brand-new production features an irresistible score by country music legend Dolly Parton, the smash-hit show follows three office workers who’ve had enough of their overbearing, chauvinistic boss. When a wild idea turns into a daring plan for revenge - chaos, comedy, and sisterhood take centre stage.

    Inspired by the much-loved 1980s film, this is a joyful story about friendship, courage, and standing up for what’s right, all set to toe-tapping tunes you’ll be humming long after the curtain falls

    Produced by Landmark Theatres by arrangement with Music Theatre International, 9 to 5 The Musical marks a major milestone as Landmark’s first in house-production to tour nationally. It is Directed by Paul Jepson, with Musical Supervision by Mark Crossland and Set and Costume Design by Amanda Stoodley.

    Paul Jepson, CEO and Creative Director at Landmark Theatres said: “We’re thrilled to extend the tour of 9 to 5 The Musical following such an incredible response. This is Landmark Theatres’ biggest tour to date and represents a pivotal moment in our growth as a producing organisation. It reflects our ambition to create bold, popular musical theatre at scale, with exceptional acting, reaching audiences far beyond our own venues. We can’t wait to share this joyful, empowering production with communities across the country and continue building vibrant, inclusive theatre that truly connects.”

    Lively, empowering, and outrageously funny, 9 to 5 The Musical is one night at the theatre you won’t want to miss!
