IT'S TIME to start packing for an unforgettable trip to Benidorm next month.
Derren Litten's critically acclaimed ITV comedy Benidorm will celebrate a decade of sun-baked mishaps with its first foray onto the stage and a six night stay of all-inclusive hilarity in Venue Cymru from Monday, April 8 until Saturday 13.
All of the fan favourite Solana hotel stalwarts will be heading to Llandudno, including Jake Canuso’s Mateo, Janine Duvitski’s Jacqueline, Sherrie Hewson’s Joyce Temple-Savage, Shelley Longworth’s Sam, Tony Maudsley’s Kenneth and even the Neptune bar’s very own cabaret singer Asa Elliott.
The stars will swap the sangria for their eagerly awaited stage debut next year - after a quick spruce at the Blow ‘n’ Go, of course – for a brand new set of Alicante adventures penned by Litten especially for the tour.
Litten, a former professional magician, said: “I’ve loved ten years of writing my TV show Benidorm but despite a successful writing career I’m first and foremost a performer so have always been secretly frustrated I couldn't hear the audience’s laughter.
“This national tour of Benidorm Live will not only make a long lasting dream come true but will also mean I no longer have to stand in strangers gardens listening at their windows at 9 o’clock on cold winter evenings.”
Critically acclaimed, Benidorm has become something of a national treasure, with die-hard fans having followed the cast on holiday and Solana staff for ten series since it first broadcast in.
Over its ten series. Benidorm has received two National Television Awards a TV Quick Award and nominations at the British Comedy Awards and BAFTAs.
Join the much-loved ensemble cast for a night at the Solana when the Benidorm Live holiday makers hit Llandudno at 7.30pm from Monday, April 8 until Saturday 13 2019.
Tickets start at £23.50, available from venuecymru.co.uk or by calling the box office on 01492 872000.
