Musical tribute to Cilla Black in which Sandy Smith and her dancers sing her 1960s hits and other pop songs of the decade.
Cilla and the Swinging 60s comes to Preston Playhouse on Saturday 7 November, a musical tribute to Cilla Black. Sandy Smith carries the evening, taking the audience through many of the greatest pop songs of the sixties, with dancers on stage alongside her.
Cilla's own chart-toppers are at the centre of the set: Anyone Who Had A Heart, Alfie and You're My World. Around those, the show brings in other hits of the decade, including Dancing in the Street, Shout, Do You Love Me and Proud Mary. It's a good cross-section of the era, so you'll hear the big ballads and the dancefloor numbers in the same evening.
The production also works its way through a handpicked selection of Cilla's well-known contemporaries, with Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Petula Clark and The Beatles all getting their moment. It's a broad look at the pop music of the sixties, rather than just one voice.
