Blackpool Opera House – The Big Show – 1955 – Jimmy Jewel
A programme from the Blackpool Opera House from 1955 for The Big Show, starring Jimmy Jewel and Ben Warriss with Janet Grey and Odette Crystal.
Jewel and Warriss were one of Britain’s top double acts of the 1940s and 1950s, and a Blackpool summer season was the peak of the variety year. A great piece of seaside theatre memorabilia and a classic variety theatre programme.
