Cilla & The Shades of the 60s
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.
