The Playhouse, Weston, 2013 preview

THE Playhouse Theatre in Weston-super-Mare has secured a host of talented acts to appear on stage in Weston-super-Mare throughout 2013.

Acts confirmed to appear include the Circus Of Horrors which stormed in to the finals of Britain's Got Talent, the spectacular Moscow State Circus, The Burlesque Show, Stars Of Strictly Come Dancing and pop sensation Elkie Brooks.

For comedy fans Madness frontman Suggs will visit April with a hilarious journey through his childhood on the tough streets of 1970s Soho to his first appearance on Top Of The Pops and the success that followed.

Funny man Lee Hurst continues the laughter later in the month followed by hilarious summer performances from Jethro and Joe Pasquale.

Young dancers from across North Somerset will also showcase their talents after being picked from auditions to work with the English Youth Ballet production of the classic ballet The Sleeping Beauty.

Join this full length ballet for a magical experience not to be missed plus many more exciting shows.

Mr Undery said: "We have been busy working away to produce an action packed schedule for next year to ensure our audiences our kept highly entertained.
