Blackpool Opera House Theatre – Happy Go Lucky – 1951 Vera Lynn
An original theatre programme for Happy Go Lucky at the Opera House Theatre, Blackpool, in 1951. The cast includes Vera Lynn, Harry Secombe, George Bernard, the John Tiller Girls, Erica Yorke and Jack Radcliffe.
Blackpool’s summer shows drew huge holiday crowds, and this bill teams the Forces’ Sweetheart with a young Harry Secombe, who was about to become famous on radio.
A lovely piece of seaside theatre memorabilia and a great example of old theatre programmes from 1950s variety.
