And much, much more...
Grand Theatre Manager and Chief Executive, Neil Thomson, said of the exciting new programme: "A change of fortune is upon us having successfully adapted our programming of the summer period. We have again brought you an eclectic mix of productions for 2007 and 2008. The future is bright; Blackpool’s rapidly improving townscape is set to attract many 'lost' visitors to the area and therefore to your Grand Theatre. We already work in partnership with many local businesses and we look forward to working with new partners in the near future.
"I hope many of you have seen the amazing transformations of the auditorium back to the original Utrecht blue of 1894. Those patrons who haven't; please join us for one of our fabulous upcoming productions when you will marvel at the newly restored interior." -- www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk
