A TRIBUTE to the one and only Cilla Black will be coming to Worcester’s Swan Theatre.

The irrepressible, fabulous Victoria Jones will be reprising her starring role as Cilla Black in the UK’s top touring show, Cilla and the Shades of the 60s.

A spokesman said: “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 as Cilla 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 present many hits by artists who changed the world of popular entertainment in the 1960s including Cilla, Dusty, Lulu, Tina Turner, the Beatles and more.”

The spokesman added: “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.”

Victoria Jones has always been a Cilla fan.

She said: “When I was growing up in Liverpool I loved watching Cilla on TV but it wasn’t till later that I discovered her music – and wow, I was hooked! I was thrilled by her vocal range; her ballads are beautiful and she gave every song emotional depth.”

The date for the diary is October 3.
