X Factor's Niki Evans returns to the role of Mrs Johnstone for the Autumn tour, following her current spell in the role in the West End. The superb score for Blood Brothers includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True. Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as the multi-award winning Blood Brothers, and Bill Kenwright’s production, having recently celebrated its 21st phenomenal year in London, continues to enjoy standing ovations at every devastating performance. No wonder Blood Brothers is now ‘The musical for all time’.

Sinatra Live At The Sands
John Bishop: Live The Sunshine Tour
Stephen Triffitt offers a glimpse of the genius that was Frank Sinatra in the most famous and hard-swinging live performance of his career, when he joined forces with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra at the Sands Hotel, Las Vegas.
The multi-award-winning comedian and star of Live At The Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow, Skins, Mock The Week and 8 Out of 10 Cats, returns to Wycombe Swan to perform his brand-new show.
Backed by a full size 17-piece Big Band Orchestra, Stephen Triffitt recreates all this with warmth, style, good humour and above all, an exquisite transformation into Sinatra.

Their previous three world tours (Sleeping Beauty on Ice, Swan Lake on Ice, Cinderella on Ice) have earned The Imperial Ice Stars an unrivalled reputation for pushing the boundaries in the genre of ice dance with their skill and athleticism on the ice, their creative and powerful story-telling, their sumptuous sets, spectacular special effects and opulent costumes. The Imperial Ice Stars have won five star praise from audiences and critics alike, and performed at some of the world’s most prestigious venues – London’s Royal Albert Hall and Sadler’s Wells, Singapore’s Esplanade Theatre, Montreal’s Place des Arts and Cape Town’s Artscape.
