All The Fun of The Fair
DAVID Essex, together with Boogie Nights creator Jon Conway, invite you onto a roller coaster ride of romance and rock 'n' roll, underscored by a helter-skelter of David Essex hits and album favourites.
New musical All The Fun of The Fair comes to the Mayflower next spring.
The show is set around a travelling funfair, providing the focal point for a musical merry-go-round of love, loss, laughter and loyalty, all played out against a stunning score courtesy of the hits of David Essex which powerfully underpin the events as they unfold.
David Essex stars in the role of funfair owner Levi Lee, who is coming to terms with the death of his wife and the attentions of another woman while struggling to deal with his rebellious teenage son's tangled love life and ambitions. Danger and mysticism lurk in the future, as predicted by a gypsy fortune-teller if Levi changes his path. This moving story with a heartbreaking twist reaches out to every parent and anyone ever torn in love.
The production is inspired by David Essex's debut album All The Fun of the Fair and features songs including Me and My Girl, Nightclubbing, Silver Dream Machine and Rock On.
All The Fun of the Fair comes to Southampton from April 6 to 11 2009. Box office: 023 8071 1811 or online at mayflower.org.uk.
2:51pm Friday 11th July 2008
