AUGUST AT LEEDS HERITAGE THEATRES

August is the time for our ‘dark weeks’ at Leeds Heritage Theatres where essential maintenance work takes place to keep our iconic venues looking their best. Despite our doors being closed for a few weeks, we still have a range of exciting shows for you to look forward to. From golden age musicals to feel-good live music, take a look at what’s to come this month.

An evening of 60s classics performed by the Sounds of the 60s All Star Band and Singers, hosted by Radio 2’s legendary DJ, Tony Blackburn OBE.

Direct from a sell-out season in London’s West End, Helen George (Call the Midwife, The King and I) leads the cast as glamorous socialite Tracy Lord, joined by stage and screen favourites Freddie Fox (Slow Horses), Nigel Lindsay (Kiss Me, Kate), Julian Ovenden (South Pacific) and Malcolm Sinclair (Pie in the Sky). As plans for the society wedding of the year descend into chaos, old and new flames vie for attention while a sharp-eyed tabloid reporter hunts for a scandal at a waterfront estate.

Sir David Jason takes to the stage with a brand-new show, joined by presenter Mike Bushell (BBC Breakfast), for an unforgettable evening of fun, laughter, and never-before-heard stories. This is your chance to hear from a true national treasure – don’t miss it!

A musical journey honouring the enduring magic and legacy of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. For over seven decades, the voices of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle shaped the soul of Bollywood music, giving life to the purane gaane that continues to live in our hearts.

The show with the ultimate feel-good factor will transport you all the way, hand clapping, swinging and singing, back to that magical golden decade that was the 1960s. Whether you come to relive your childhood memories or you just simply want to see what your parents have been raving about for all these years, this is the number one live show to see.
