Haunted Harmonies

Haunted Harmonies comes to Daltons on Wednesday 28 October, a theatrical musical show that sits right in the thick of the Halloween season. The night is built around a coven of four vocalists performing some of musical theatre's most haunting numbers, and the organisers describe it as the stagiest night out this October.

That description gives you a good sense of where it's aiming. It's not a standard concert or a full-scale production, but something in between—a theatrical evening of song. The coven of four voices takes centre stage, and the set is drawn from the darker, more atmospheric side of the musical theatre songbook. The whole thing is billed as the West End meeting the weird, so expect the polished vocals of the theatre paired with a mood that leans into the eerie.

There's a bit of a dress code to get involved with, too. You're encouraged to turn up in your creepiest or stagiest costume, and there's a prize for the best one, so if you've got something in the wardrobe that fits the bill, this is a decent excuse to dust it off. It's a night that asks you to play along rather than just sit and watch.

Daltons is tucked under Brighton Zip on the Lower Promenade, and the show runs from 20:00 to 22:00, so it's a mid-week evening out that doesn't run too late. Tickets are £15, and with the date falling on the Wednesday before Halloween, it's a good way to get into the spirit of the month without having to wait for the weekend.
