Previously playing Tuesday through Sunday, ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR will now play Monday through Saturday, according to the production. The show will play Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday at 3pm. All the Fun of the Fair previewed from 20 April at London's Garrick Theatre, with press night on 28 April and is running until 5 September 2010.
All the Fun of the Fair features music from David Essex's extensive catalogue, with book written by Jon Conway and is directed by David Gilmore. New set and costume designs are by Ian Westbrook with lighting by Ben Cracknell and sound by Steve Jonas. All the Fun of the Fair is produced in the West End by Alan Darlow, Jon Conway and Lee Dean, following a hugely successful nationwide tour.
The full cast is David Essex (Levi), Christopher Timothy (Harvey), Louise English (Rosa), Michael Pickering (Jack), Nicola Brazil (Alice), Cameron Jack (Druid), Susan Hallam-Wright (Mary), Chris Holland (Kipper), Kieran Jae (Scotty), Tom Kanavan (Spiv), Tim Newman (Slow Jonny), Robert Rees (Chris), Emily Tierney (Sally), Tricia Adele Turner (Laura), Shona White (Rita) and Danielle York (Maisy).
Inspired by one of his most successful albums, All the Fun of the Fair, David Essex plays Levi Lee, recently widowed and father of a rebellious teenage son. Danger and mysticism lurk in the future as predicted by the gypsy fortune teller who is in love with Levi. Dodgems and motorbikes, crafty cons and candy floss, fairground horses and fights, along with unrequited love, romance and rock and roll bring out the carnival atmosphere in this underbelly world of fairground life.
