THE stage show of a classic comedy arrives at St Helens Theatre Royal next week.
A remake of 1970s 'Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em' will run in the town from Tuesday, August 2 until Saturday, August 6.
With the highly-acclaimed show touring around the country, 'Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em' features a star-studded cast with comedian and actor Joe Pasquale at the helm.
Joe Pasquale will appear as the loveable but accident-prone Frank Spencer, while Sarah Earnshaw will play his long-suffering wife Betty.
Susie Blake returns as Frank’s disapproving mother-in-law Mrs Fisher; Moray Treadwell as Mr Luscombe/Mr Worthington; James Paterson as Father O’Hara; and Ben Watson as Desmond/Constable. The cast also features Nick Wray and Alice Osmanski.
The show begins with Betty having exciting news for Frank, who is preoccupied by possible new-found fame as a magician.
With guests arriving for dinner and crossed wires all round, priceless misunderstandings are on the menu.
Based on the 1970s classic TV comedy by Ray Allen and directed by the award-winning Guy Unsworth, 'Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em' is described as the "ultimate feel-good night out", washed down with lashings of nostalgia and Mother’s prune wine.
A TV and stage favourite, Joe Pasquale has delighted audiences with his stand-up tours for more than 30 years, continuing to win legions of fans during his entertainment outings in New Faces, Spamalot and The Producers.
He was also crowned King Of The Jungle in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here in 2004.
Speaking about the incoming show, St Helens Theatre Royal Manager Chantelle Nolan said:
“Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em is such a classic, innocent comedy from the golden age of TV, when sitcoms and programmes were the ultimate in entertainment.
"We are really excited to welcome the highly anticipated stage show to St Helens Theatre Royal as part of its UK Tour, and with such a wonderful cast it’s sure to be a Summer highlight for our audiences.”
Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em runs with seven shows at St Helens Theatre Royal, including two matinee shows.
Tickets are on sale here, starting from £31.
