WHEN YOU’RE SMILING is a feel-good feast of entertainment, specially produced to lift your spirits, put a spring in your step and fill your heart with happiness. Leave your cares at the theatre door and join us for a joyful trip down Memory Lane, packed with over 60 of the greatest songs from the Fabulous 40s, Rocking 50s, Swinging 60s and Sensational 70s – everything from Vera Lynn to ABBA!
