The Camberley Theatre Bar is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink both before the show and during the interval. Don’t forget you can avoid the queue by pre-ordering your interval drinks on arrival. Hi, I’m Kayleigh and I look after our bar and hospitality services here at the theatre. There is always a great atmosphere in the bar area before a show and it’s a good chance to meet up with friends or wind down from the day before heading in to see one of our fantastic shows. We also have a great range of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks to suit all tastes! Beat the queues and save time by pre-paying your car parking at the bar! Just give us your reg number, pay the fee and drive out! My top tip: The bar opens an hour before the performance time but is usually busiest in the 15 minutes before the start. Arriving earlier means less time waiting and more time to relax in our dedicated lounge area! 12

The Quo Experience is, however, not just another Status Quo tribute band - it is an ‘experience’; an ongoing chance to ‘experience’ the sounds and looks of “Britain’s biggest singles chart band of all time”!

Thursday 15th February Illegal Eagles

Friday 16th February The Live Aid Experience

Saturday 17th February Wayne Wellington sings Nat King Cole

This phenomenal group of musicians have been touring for over two decades and remain true Eagles fanatics! Their longevity and continued international acclaim are due in no small part to their extraordinary mastery of the Eagles’ distinctive sound.

Join us for a celebration of a musical gathering so important, so poignant that it changed lives the world over and has stood the test of time. This is a concert where legends were born, where records were broken and where humanity listened as one!

Featuring the very best from the Eagles’ repertoire including ‘Hotel California’, ‘Take it to the Limit’, ‘Life in the Fast Lane’, ‘Take It Easy’, ‘Lyin’ Eyes’, ‘Desperado’ and plenty more!

With a genuine full live rock band and incredible singers and dancers, we pay homage to the greatest performances of the greatest songs from that historical concert. You won’t see a bad wig here, this isn’t a tribute act this is simply paying tribute, the best way we can to the legends that changed the world. This is the Live Aid Experience.

Nat King Cole was an original, selling in excess of 30 million records during his career. His voice was unmistakeable, loved the world over. Every generation since his death has fallen in love with the King’s voice and music; his late daughter Natalie Cole brought her father’s music to a new generation in the 90’s when her own newly recorded vocal track was added to her father’s 1961 stereo re-recording of his original 1951 ‘Unforgettable’.

Wednesday 28th February NT Live: Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

Thursday 1st March The Neil Diamond Story

Friday 2nd March Be Bop A Lula

Starring Sienna Miller, Tennessee Williams’ twentieth century masterpiece Cat on a Hot Tin Roof played a strictly limited season in London’s West End in 2017.

Bob Drury and his band celebrate the life and music of the legend that is Neil Diamond. The show tracks Neil’s remarkable journey from unknown and struggling New York songwriter to international mega star and includes music from every stage of a staggering and hit-filled music career spanning five decades. ‘Solitary Man’, ‘Cracklin’ Rosie’, ‘Sweet Caroline’, ‘Love on The Rocks’, ‘America’, ‘Hello Again’, ‘I Am I Said’ and more.

The West End smash hit comes to Camberley, starring five giants of rock’n’roll – Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Billy Fury, Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison.

On a steamy night in Mississippi, a Southern family gather at their cotton plantation to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday. The scorching heat is almost as oppressive as the lies they tell. Brick and Maggie dance round the secrets and sexual tensions that threaten to destroy their marriage. With the future of the family at stake, which version of the truth is real – and which will win out?

7.00 pm Tickets: Full £14, Theatre Club £12.50, Students £12

Bob most recently performed for the American Neil Diamond Fan Club in Nashville, Tennessee and in Las Vegas. He has been described as the UK’s ‘voice of Neil’ and is featured in the movie ‘Diamond Mountain’ due for release later this year.

In 1960 American rockers Eddie and Gene flew in from the States and were joined by Billy Fury for the first UK multi-artist rock’n’roll tour. Reviewers were appalled by the on stage antics. Audiences screamed their approval. British youth culture was born. From Cochran’s legendary guitar riffs, Vincent’s menacingly moody stage presence, Fury’s smouldering looks and soaring vocals, and Orbison’s perfect, lilting tones, Be Bop a Lula is a real doozer of a stage show.
