"They were all absolutely lovely and really enjoyed their night with cocktails, pizza and karaoke.

"As you'd expect from a group of talented performers, the karaoke was top notch - with West End musical hits like All That Jazz.

"We're looking forward to welcoming back the cast soon as many of them are back in New Brighton for other shows in 2024."
