Cromer Pier Christmas Show 2019 |
Christmas is in full swing at the end of
Cromer Pier - the extra-special, family-fun, super-entertaining, dancing-singing-magical
Christmas Show! Starting with Santa and taking a journey through places as diverse as the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia (Laurel and Hardy) and south-east London (Only Fools and Horses), with dance styles from classical ballet to tap and a heck of a lot of acrobatic high kicks and jumps, and card tricks and illusion and fun and a whole load of laughter, the show is a magical machine that transports you, for a couple of hours, out of the mundane day-to-day world into a special place that exists only at the end of the pier, in
Cromer's Pavilion theatre.

Saturday night, and the 500-seater theatre was full: second show of the day for the talented crew. Compere and local funny man
Olly Day knows this venue well - back for the eleventh time! The
Modern Magician Mark James returns too and has some great tricks up his sleeve (or in his pocket, or even inside an egg, which he then makes into an omlette): vocalists
Harvey James and
Fiona Jessica Wilson (who also plays a mean electric cello - beautiful sound); young dancers from Cromer's
Marlene's School of Dancing, and the wonderful Cromer Pier Show dancers who make the stage feel as big as a ballroom. Light and sound are just perfect for the venue and the whole show flows through rapid scenery and costume changes from beginning to end.

The Twelve Days of Christmas are novel... and hilarious!

I love the ballet; I want to photograph more ballet. Pretty please.

The
Cromer Pier Christmas Show is pure entertainment - you won't find anything like it at the end of a pier anywhere else in the world. Grab the opportunity and a ticket for the family: the show runs until the end of December, and you can
book tickets here or at the box office on the pier.

this year's Christmas Show here!

Cromer Pier Shows are here, too.
