Betty Blue Eyes is an utterly British musical, full of eccentric characters, such as odd couple Gilbert Chilvers – a humble chiropodist, and his wife Joyce, a nobody determined to be somebody; Inspector Wormold – an obsessive destroyer of illegal meat; Mother Dear – “She’s 74 and ravenous”; along with a weird assortment of bullies, spivs and snobs, and of course, Betty the pig.
Betty Blue Eyes has music by George Stiles and lyrics Anthony Drewe, with a book by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman. Adapted and expanded from Alan Bennett and Malcolm Mowbray’s film A Private Function.
The creative team includes director Sasha Regan, choreographer Kasper Cornish, designer Reuben Speed, with casting by Adam Braham. Produced by Sasha Regan & Stuart Simons.
Betty Blue Eyes will play the Union Theatre, running from 29th March – 22nd April 2023, with tickets on sale now.
