Last week the cast of our in-house summer production, "Bugsy Malone the Musical" met on stage to take part in a series of workshops with the creative team ahead of commencing rehearsals in August. Our fantastic cast is made up of 100 young people from across Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde with many from further afield across Lancashire and the North West! We can't wait to welcome them back to the theatre soon and begin to follow their exciting journey as we transform Blackpool Grand Theatre into "Fat Sam's Grand Slam Speakeasy" to create our brand new, exciting, and explosive production of "Bugsy Malone". 📅 Thurs 15th-Sat 17th Aug Tickets are available via our website 🎟️👇 bit.ly/3PoZxXM

I’m guilty of sending voice notes. I’m guilty of them sometimes being so long you could call them podcasts. But recently some friends have upgraded to sending full Audio Books and I truly cannot cope 😂 Just call me, damn it! #whatsapp #voicenotes #podcasts #audiobooks
