Milton Keynes Theatre offers top West End musical for £4.25 per family this Christmas

The theatre has currently suspended all live shows until January 17 due to the Covid pandemic.

But is is hoping to save Christmas by offering the UK’s number one rock and roll variety show That'll Be The Day for people to stream for themselves..

Supported with funding from Arts Council England, the show has partnered with Milton Keynes Theatre to deliver the brand new pre-recorded Christmas Special show online directly into people’s homes.

The 'ticket price' of £4.25 per stream will go towards going to help support MK Theatre through these challenging times. Showtimes will be Tuesday December 8 and Saturday 12 December, and only one ticket is needed per household.

The show will include the best pop Christmas classics and traditional Christmas songs along with hilarious comedy routines. Producer and director Trevor Payne and some of the cast will be live online during the pre-show, interval and after-show to answer questions, chat and share a virtual sherry and mince pie.

Trevor Payne said: “We are very much looking forward to working on this exciting project. A lot of people find themselves stuck at home in the lead up to

Christmas and these are very challenging times for everyone."

He added: " We are asking fans to dress as if they're going to the theatre and make an evening of it to help everyone get in the festive mood. We are hoping to bring a little bit of Christmas magic to them, in the only way that we can, for now.

"For many, the That’ll Be The Day Christmas Special is the essential start to their festive season. Let this year be no different! Join some of the cast online for a rollercoaster sleigh ride through the ‘golden’ age of Rock and Roll and Pop……It will be a sparkling mix of Christmas hits, fun and nostalgia with that guaranteed ‘festive feel good’ factor.
