Music by Steve Brown
Based on the book by Viv Nicholson and Stephen Smith

This musical celebrates the rags-to-riches and back-to-rags story of Viv Nicholson, the working-class Yorkshire lass who, in 1961, won a fortune on the Football Pools. The story includes everything from comedy to tragedy. A musical score full of memorable tunes and sharp, witty lyrics. This, together with the modern lesson in morality, that money does not necessarily always bring you either love or happiness, makes for a warm, nostalgic musical with Yorkshire directness and grit, that follows the northern musical tradition of shows like “Billy Elliot” and “Blood Brothers”.

The production will feature a cast of forty, live band and in true Tempo tradition, innovative staging, choreography and technology of the highest standard. Please come and support us in this venture! We rely on you, our audience, to allow us to achieve our standards and keep prices as low as possible.
