There's a cracking selection of egg-cellent shows for all the family at Blackpool's Grand Theatre this Easter. The Grand is delighted to welcome back legendary entertainer Joe Longthorne this Easter Weekend from Friday 21st March to Monday 24th March. And for the April Easter holidays there are fabulous family musicals Fiddler On The Roof and Oliver! along with a brand new skating spectacular Variety on Ice.
Joe Longthorne's repertoire of voices is endless and includes hundreds of the world's top singers. However, he is perhaps best known for his impersonation of Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey – Shirley herself said: "Joe can do me better than I can do myself!"
During his career, Joe has also received gold and platinum discs for his albums, enjoyed sell-out concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and toured Australia several times.
Tickets for Joe Longthorne at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool from Good Friday March 21st to Easter Monday March 24th are priced from only ?16.
