Stunned to discover they have inherited the Bijou cinema, two innocent newly-weds have their hopes dashed when they discover it is a total fl ea-pit. To restore it to its former glory and stop the wrecking ball, they need to get the eccentric manageress, Mrs Fazackalee (Goddard) and Mr Quill (Capron), the unreliable projectionist, to help them with their ambitious plans. Will they manage to make it a Blockbuster or will the whole venture Fade to Black? The musical is inspired by the hilarious 1950's film starring Peter Sellers, featuring classic songs by Irving Berlin including; "Blue Skies", "Shakin' the Blues Away" and "Steppin' Out With My Baby".T1896447269Presented byMercury Theatre Colchester.
