⭐ ACORN ANTIQUES – THE MUSICAL – IN CONCERT ANNOUNCED BY HOPE MILL THEATRE ⭐
ACORN ANTIQUES – THE MUSICAL will return for one-night-only, in a special concert production, it has been announced.
From the genius of Victoria Wood and based on the iconic sketch from her show Victoria Wood As Seen On TV, Hope Mill Theatre are delighted to announce that ACORN ANTIQUES – THE MUSICAL will return to the stage for one night only at Manchester Opera House on Sunday 2nd November 2025 for a special fundraising concert.
Come along to Manchesterford, a place full of quaint, old-fashioned shops such as “Acorn Antiques” run by sisters Miss Babs and Miss Berta. They are assisted by business partner Mr Clifford, elderly tea lady Mrs Overall, and two ‘pitiful adolescents’. But before long their cosy world faces a threat from developers, who want to turn their high street into a collection of coffee bars and sexy underwear shops. As the plot unfolds, Miss Babs and Miss Berta are faced with financial woes and family secrets, including a lost triplet sister. Will the innocent antique dealers fight off the developers and a sinister loan shark? Can they find the missing will of their father? And will Miss Berta ever find true love?
This laugh out loud musical parody will be sure to have you rolling in the aisles and toe tapping along…so grab yourself a macaroon and don’t miss this special one-off performance.
The concert will celebrate 10 years of Hope Mill Theatre, with all box office money going towards their Outreach programme, which includes Hope Mill Theatre School, as well as funding a brand-new community space within Hope Mill.
The concert will be directed by Hope Mill’s own Joseph Houston and William Whelton, with musical direction and supervision by Nigel Lilley and choreography by Sammy Murray.
ACORN ANTIQUES – THE MUSICAL will play Manchester Opera House on Sunday 2nd November 2025, with tickets on sale from Tuesday 6th May 2025 – 10am.
Another cracking production from Hope Mill Theatre – Looks like I’ll be heading to Manchester this November! ! !
