ACORN ANTIQUES THE MUSICAL adds West End performance and additional Manchester show

Hope Mill Theatre has announced that the special fundraising concert of ACORN ANTIQUES THE MUSICAL will play for one night at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre on 9 November and due to popular demand, a second performance at Manchester Opera House has been added on 16 November.

This news follows the previously announced performance on 2 November in Manchester.

The concert will be directed by Hope Mill’s own Joseph Houston and William Whelton, with musical direction and supervision by Nigel Lilley, and choreography by Sammy Murray.

Come along to Manchesterford, a place full of quaint, old-fashioned shops such as "Acorn Antiques" run by sisters Miss Babs and Miss Berta. They are assisted by business partner Mr Clifford, elderly tea lady Mrs Overall, and two 'pitiful adolescents’. But before long their cosy world faces a threat from developers, who want to turn their high street into a collection of coffee bars and sexy underwear shops. As the plot unfolds, Miss Babs and Miss Berta are faced with financial woes and family secrets, including a lost triplet sister. Will the innocent antique dealers fight off the developers and a sinister loan shark? Can they find the missing will of their father? And will Miss Berta ever find true love?

This laugh out loud musical parody will be sure to have you rolling in the aisles and toe tapping along…so grab yourself a macaroon and don’t miss this special one-off performance.

Star casting and further creative team members are to be announced.
