Press officer Laura Chadwick said: “We are once again privileged to be working with Lynn McCheyne’s dancers.

Tickets always sell very well so we would like to urge people to get their tickets sooner rather than later.

“We would also like to express our thanks to our new president Hazel Hodder for all her years of hard work as our chairman. We hope she can now sit back and enjoy the fabulous society she created.”

The show will open at the Burnley Mechanics Theatre on Friday, January 13th, at 7pm, with performances also taking place on Saturday, 14th at 2pm and 7pm and Sunday, 15th at noon and 4-30pm.
