A joyful, nostalgic journey through music and culture of a golden era

A much-loved tribute of rock ‘n’ pop hits of the ‘50s through to the ‘80s comes to Peterborough as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations this month.

That’ll Be The Day will take a city audience on a joyful, nostalgic journey through the music and culture of a golden era at New Theatre on April 26.

Trevor Payne and his wonderful ensemble pay homage to the legendary performers of the past decades, with more than 60 iconic hits from the likes of The Beatles, Whitney Houston, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner and Cliff Richard.

Alongside the timeless music, the show’s trademark comedy sketches and impressions keep audiences laughing throughout.

That’ll Be The Day has raised over £1million for Childline, Make A Wish, Help for Heroes, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, and numerous appeals, including the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal, through post-show bucket collections.

Trevor Payne, director, producer and vocalist for That’ll Be The Day comments: "One of the secrets behind our success is the dedication and hard work of the entire company. I’m especially proud that what began as performances in clubs and holiday camps has evolved into the UK’s number one touring rock and roll theatre show. Unlike any other act I know, That’ll Be The Day refreshes its content annually and strives to improve production year on year. It is unique in many ways and continues to captivate and delight our loyal army of fans across the country.”

There is a 12+ age guidance as the show, which runs for three hours, contains adult humour.
