The shows that took place at the Bournemouth Pavilion have been truly exceptional. The venues that host these events are not only a hub for entertainment but also a testament to the power of live performance. The shows that made up this successful run of productions included The Rocky Horror Show, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Chicago, with a staggering 149 cast members, musicians and production team members making these shows possible.
Success and Recognition
The nearly 30 performances between these shows received rave reviews and standing ovations. The opening night of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang featured a replica of the famous Chitty car from the Beaulieu National Motor Museum. The show was a huge success, with five sold-out performances of Chicago described as “the sexiest musical ever.” Chicago was a star-studded production, featuring well-known performers such as Janette Manrara, a Strictly Come Dancing and It Takes Two star, and Pop icon Sinitta, alongside Djalenga Scott.
