FROM OUR TWEEPLE

Competition

Topsy Turvy

Win: 1 of 6 double tickets to watch Topsy Turvy live at The Theatre on the Bay on 13 June!

Multi-award winner Jonathan Roxmouth (The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, HATS OFF!, A Handful of Keys) is to lay siege to Theatre on the Bay in June with a regiment of ridiculous characters in his new one-man show, TOPSY TURVY. In it, Roxmouth revisits the song and verse of British duo Gilbert & Sullivan, who were responsible for such evergreen comic operas as H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado to name a few. But be warned - this is no "traditional" recital.

To win:

Like The Big Issue's Facebook page, copy the link once you have liked it and paste the link in the below tab.

We will announce the winner on 6 June.
6 sets of two tickets each on Wednesday 13 June 8pm (date not transferrable) – total of 12 tix.)
