The sad but compelling story of Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan - a young couple very much in love, yet unable to find the words to tell each other how they feel. 

Julie loves Billy so much that she chooses to stand by him, even when he resorts to violence to express his frustrations at being out of work. However, tragedy strikes when an attempted robbery goes wrong and Billy dies, leaving Julie to bring up their unborn baby alone.  Fifteen years later he is granted one day back on earth to try to redeem himself.  Will he find a way of expressing what he truly feels for Julie and their daughter, Louise?

 Rogers and Hammerstein’s beautiful score for this musical includes the numbers “If I Loved You”, “June is Bustin’ Out All Over” and the comforting anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.

Tickets: £10 - £14 (Concessions £12)
