An Evening With Ria Jones - HOMEground MCR

An Evening with Ria Jones
Join West End star Ria Jones (last seen in Manchester at the Royal Exchange in Gypsy) for an evening of song and laughter from her career that spans almost 40 years.

Her versatility as an actress has taken her from roles such as Eva Peron, Mama Rose, Norma Desmond, Grizabella, Fantine, to Mrs Overall in Acorn Antiques, to name but a few. A must see for any lovers of musical theatre and power ballads.

9th July tickets £15

Oooh I might have to go to that! I do love a good cruise ship singer ;-)
Seriously though, she was great in concert last night.

She was great in Gypsy too.

Barnaby off again! We get it mate - you don't like Ria Jones. Give it a bloody rest!

And she was an extraordinary Eva Peron at the age of 18.

Bit sneaky with their seating arrangements here. Wouldn't let me book a single seat so I've had to book two and drag the husband along.

Well that was a fun hour or so. Surprisingly few showtunes but lots of camp classics and definitely playing to her gay audience. The banter in between songs was pure Victoria Wood as Stacey Leanne Paige.
