A Spectacular Line-up at Liverpool Olympia: Theatre, Music, and Nostalgia Galore
Liverpool Olympia promises a vibrant mix of theatre, music, and cultural nostalgia with its upcoming events. From the rib-tickling antics of 'Rita, Sue & Bob Too!' to the compelling drama of 'Singin’ I’m no a Billy, He’s a Tim,' and the reggae vibes of 'Toots and the Maytals,' there's something for everyone. Audiences can also look forward to the lively tunes of 'Irish Annie’s,' the rock rhythms of 'Supergrass,' and the iconic sounds of 'From the Jam + Ruts DC.' Each event offers a unique experience, ensuring memorable moments for attendees.
Regal Entertainments proudly presents the return of the record breaking hilarious 1987 cult classic Rita, Sue & Bob Too! The play tells the story of Rita and Sue, two working class girls from a rundown council estate who are about to finish their final year at school. In their spare time, they earn money babysitting for married couple Bob and Michelle. Behind Michelle’s back, Bob embarks on an affair with both Rita and Sue, who take it in turns with him in his car in the countryside. Michelle eventually finds out and leaves lothario Bob. When Bob later develops a preference for Rita, the two girls fall out but when Sue ends up in an abusive relationship, the trio are reunited.
Written by Des Dillon and Directed by Stephen Cafferty. With Scott Kyle (Outlander, Angels Share, Kajaki and Winner of Stage Award for Acting Excellence), Colin Little (River City, Fried, Gasping, The Secret Agent) and James Miller.
The Maytals formed in the 1960’s and updated their name to Toots and the Maytals for their debut album ’Sweet And Dandy’ in 1969. One of the best known ska and rocksteady groups, they also are known for the first use of the word ‘reggae’ in a song on their 1968 single ‘Do The Reggay’.
Meet landlady Annie and her regular madcap customers for a fun night out of comedy and music, featuring original songs written for the show by Asa Murphy, along with your all-time favourite Irish tunes including Galway Shawl, Tell Me Ma, Dirty Old Town, Danny Boy and many more. The show has audiences laughing, singing, and dancing the night away.
From the Jam will tour the UK celebrating the 45th Anniversary of The Jam’s fourth studio album Setting Sons. The critically acclaimed album reached #4 in the UK and was the band’s first album to enter the US charts. Succeeding All Mod Cons, the album became a commercial success, earning them their first top ten hit single The Eton Rifles. ”It seems that even the obscure album tracks like Little Boy Soldiers and Thick As Thieves are as popular when we play them live as the hit singles.” says Russell Hastings.
Liverpool Olympia's line-up is a testament to the power of live performance to entertain, challenge, and connect people. From the laughter-filled 'Rita, Sue & Bob Too!' to the thought-provoking 'Singin’ I’m no a Billy, He’s a Tim,' and the vibrant beats of 'Toots and the Maytals,' each event encapsulates a unique facet of cultural expression. As audiences gather to enjoy these performances, they become part of a shared experience that transcends individual differences, celebrating the universal language of art and music.
