Preview - SOME MOTHERS DO 'AVE 'EM - DARLINGTON HIPPODROME


QUITE FRANKLY… IT’S NOT TO BE MISSED


This is a public health warning: Joe Pasquale is on his way to Darlington to star as Frank Spencer in the current UK tour of Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em which runs at Darlington Hippodrome from Tuesday 3 to Saturday 7 July.

People of a certain age will instantly recognise the quirky theme tune – the title of the show played out in Morse Code on a piccolo. They will also remember the amazing stunts – that roller-skating scene, the angel Gabriel ruining the nativity play and the stage set collapsing, missing Frank by inches. Memories of watching the most successful TV sitcom of the 1970s have been embedded in the minds of a generation.

Now you can re-live those evenings huddled around the television with the family as Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em comes to Darlington Hippodrome starring Joe Pasquale as the loveable but accident-prone Frank Spencer. Starring alongside Joe is Sarah Earnshaw (Casualty, Spamalot, Wicked) as Frank’s long-suffering wife Betty and Susie Blake (The Victoria Wood Show, Coronation Street, Wicked) as Frank’s disapproving mother-in-law, Mrs Fisher.

This new stage production of the much-loved family comedy classic has everything you would expect to see in one of the episodes on TV. It is quite simply two hours of quick-fire comedy, misunderstandings, physical stunts, too much prune wine and a whole host of belly-laughs.

Hilarious mishaps and DIY disasters bring the house down, quite literally. Betty has some exciting news for Frank, but he’s preoccupied by possible new-found fame as a magician. With guests arriving for dinner and crossed wires all round, priceless misunderstandings are on the menu.

Some Mothers Do ’Ave ’Em is the ultimate feel-good family night out. The show runs at Darlington Hippodrome from Tuesday 3 to Saturday 7 July.
