Visiting Production The Dolly Show Date range Tickets £24 - £26 Age guidance ​ Venue Main House Trigger warning Find out more Book now Running time 1 hour 50 minutes (inc. interval) Group bookings Find out more Accessibility Find out more As seen on BBC ONE and voted the U.K’s No 1. Dolly Parton tribute by the Agents Association of Great Britain! Undeniably one of the BEST Dolly impersonators you will ever see, West End star Kelly O’Brien performs the beloved hits of country legend Dolly Parton, brilliantly recreating the vitality and voice of the little lady from Tennessee. Kelly is the best in the business; she sounds like Dolly Parton, she looks like Dolly and she’s as witty and entertaining as Dolly. The show includes up-tempo numbers like 9 to 5, Baby I’m Burning and Islands in the Stream, as well as powerful ballads such as I will Always Love You, Jolene and Coat of Many Colours. Kelly is no stranger to the stage and has been performing all over the world for 20 years and is the only Dolly Parton impersonator to have been invited to sing with Dolly Parton’s band in Nashville, Tennessee. Visiting Production Book Tickets Wed 15 Oct 00:00 Show more times Trailer Reviews One of the world’s best tribute artists. BBC ONE She is sensational as Dolly. Paddy McGuiness A true professional. An incredible tribute to the Queen of country music. Bobby Davro Wow. Kelly is ferocious as Dolly! Michael Bublé You rock bigtime. Thank you for being so kind and generous with your time and attention. You were brilliant! Jo Wiley (Radio one) You’re such an amazing singer and I loved how you paid tribute to what a generous and admirable woman she is. Your performance of Coat of many colours bought my friend to tears. You totally won my heart. Thank you for a great evening. Tom Holland (Author & Historian) Well that was just incredible!! The Dolly Show @LiveatZedel is a masterclass in charisma and magnetism, warmth and how to handle any crowd with style! Far beyond a tribute act. This is a star homage by someone who is a natural star themselves! Bunny Galore (London) Oh my god, seriously AMAZING!!! Powerhouse voice on this pocket rocket of a woman!!! I grew up watching 'The Dolly Parton Show' on TV with my family. This is a huge childhood memory for me - back in the days of The Donnie & Marie Osmond Show, Fat Cat - the good old days. Kelly absolutely nails Dolly - her persona, humour, voice, mannerisms, the way she holds herself, every little detail. It's quite amazing to see. Of course I cried. Talent on this level always gives me goose bumps and tears. Add to that - when the whole crowd is singing along...outta control. I love it. I look at you all and feel so overwhelmed with genuine emotion. You get it and we love you for that. We hope Kelly comes back next time she's in Australia. What an absolute honour for us. Forever grateful mate. The Pepper tree (music venue, Adelaide) My wife and I attended the Dolly tribute night and what a fantastic night it was. ‘Dolly’ was outstanding, from the moment she arrived she engaged with us all, amusing and entertaining, her voice, annerisms and rendition was as if Dolly was in the room. We had been to the Savoy Theatre the previous week to see 9to5 the musical but the performance by Kelly was far better and we cannot recommend her enough. Her final rendition of ‘Little sparrow’ without music brought the house down. Incredible.” Nigel Lea (Kent) Gallery Friends of the Garrick Become a Friend of the Garrick!

Garrick Production All the little Lights Date range Tickets £12 - £14 Age guidance 14+ Venue Studio Trigger warning Find out more Book now Running time TBC Group bookings Find out more Accessibility Find out more “I know you want what everyone else wants. A family. A home. But you’ll never have it. Cos of what’s inside you.” In a world where nobody wants you, what would you do to survive? Joanne and Lisa were like sisters. Then Lisa left. Now they're back together for one last birthday party by the railway tracks. But can they salvage their friendship, or will ghosts from the past haunt them forever? Poignant, moving and darkly funny, All the Little Lights is the searing story of young girls slipping through the cracks in society, desperately searching for friendship, family and themselves. Garrick Production Book Tickets Wed 15 Oct 00:00 Show more times Trailer Reviews Rick Bowen from StageStruck - 4 Stars THE first thing I have to say about this play, the emotional equivalent of being hit by a train, is don’t be fooled by its cosy sounding title, with images of suburban cosiness. It couldn’t be further from the truth in Jane Upton’s remarkable piece of writing that’s both funny and painfully evocative. Joanne and Lisa, who had an almost sisterly bond until they separated, ache for a better life even though the spectre of sexual exxploitation lurks in the background and threatens to crush their dreams. Amy, described as being like a baby by the formidable and feisty Joanne is simply looking for somewhere to belong.. As the three girls there’s an unsettling authenticity to their performances with Georgina Brame, Natalia Leaper and Isabel Stuart-Cole deserving a far bigger audience than the one that trickled into the Lauriston on opening night. While Upton’s play is a very difficult watch in places, theatre is at its best when it gives a voice to the voiceless and humanises issues like child abuse. Director Meg Brassington, so, so funny in the lead role in the Garrick’s production of the Vicar of Dibley, proves she’s equally at home with the serious stuff and I also liked her very convincing litter strewn set which formed the girls’ hillside sanctuary. It was a brave decision for the Garrick to stage such a challenging play which deserves to do very brisk business at its box office.
