Shows

Desperate to be Doris

Desperate to be Doris – a new play with music featuring some of Doris Day’s greatest hits, including Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps, Que Sera Sera, The Deadwood Stage and Secret Love.

This show is produced in association with four venues: York Theatre Royal, Library Theatre, Manchester, New Wolsey, Ipswich and The Brindley in Runcorn. In each town we will recruit local singers to join a community choir to appear in the show. These local singers will meet for rehearsals once a week for a couple of months leading up to the production.

If you would like to be in a choir please e-mail us at info@lip-service.net

If you are interested in booking the show for your venue and would like to know more, please ring Maggie or Sue on 0161 881 0061 or e-mail us at info@lip-service.net
