A celebration of the glory days of variety.
Audiences are invited to step back into the heyday of British music hall and variety when Twice Nightly comes to The Georgian Theatre Royal on Friday 10 and Saturday 11 July at 7.30pm.
Performed by Dominic Goodwin, a familiar and much-loved face to Richmond audiences, the show follows Freddie Francis, a seasoned second-spot comic who has spent 30 years touring the country on every variety bill going. Set in 1956, Freddie looks back on a life spent on the road, recalling the ups and downs of life in showbusiness, from the riotous and fantastic to the downright silly.
Dominic is no stranger to The Georgian Theatre Royal stage. Having delighted audiences as the Theatre's beloved pantomime dame for a number of years, he has remained a regular and popular performer in Richmond, earning a loyal following with his warmth, comic timing and engaging stage presence.
Twice Nightly celebrates the rich tradition of variety entertainment with routines made famous by legendary performers including Max Miller, Rob Wilton, Jimmy James and Norman Evans. The show also features a host of much-loved songs from the era, including The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, Happy Days Are Here Again and Goodnight Sweetheart.
Full of laughter, nostalgia and classic entertainment, Twice Nightly offers a charming glimpse into a bygone age and is sure to delight anyone who remembers — or simply wants to discover — the golden age of British variety.
