Horrible Histories – The Concert
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]For the very first time, your favourite songs and characters from the award-winning CBBC TV series appear live (and dead) on stage in a truly Horrible show.
When William Shakespeare is asked to create the greatest show on earth, he’s already facing a tough challenge (he knows he’s good but is he that good?!), but he has no idea how much trouble he’ll get from monstrous monarchs like Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria!
Things hot up when Death appears – and now Boudica, Napoleon and Cleopatra all want to take over. Can things get any worse? Of course they can!
Featuring a live band, led by the Horrible Histories song master Richie Webb himself, and starring amazing TV actors singing the sensational TV songs, including ‘Charles II’ and ‘Dick Turpin’ (and a bunch of Vikings that we couldn’t stop barging through the stage door), this is one show you won’t want to miss.
Presented by Birmingham Stage Company and Lion Television.
