Introducing Europe’s Premier Tribute Show to Shania Twain, starring Liza Rebecca.

Shania - Come on Over is Europe’s Premier Shania Twain tribute show, the exclusive touring theatre show in the UK and internationally, starring Liza Rebecca.

Liza is unbelievable in her recreation of the Queen of Country Pop and Icon Shania Twain; you will think you are watching Shania herself! This Shania Twain tribute show will bring all the sass and style of Shania to the Theatre, truly authentic in every way.

Liza has incredible vocals, audience interaction and fabulous costume changes, and has perfected Shania’s iconic choreography. She has studied every move and style along with Shania’s unique tone and phrasing, so you get the authenticity of the full Shania Twain experience.

The show includes songs from the biggest selling album by a female artist of all time Come On Over, plus other Shania hits from The Woman in Me, Up and recent album Queen of Me.

Relive all the greatest Country songs in one night - you will never forget ‘Man I Feel Like A Women’, ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’, ‘Don’t Be Stupid’, ‘You’re Still The One’, ‘Rock This Country’, as well as other huge Country classics, '9 to 5', 'Rhinestone Cowboy', 'Can’t Fight The Moonlight', 'Take it Easy', 'Walking in Memphis' and more.

Not suitable for young children. Contains moderate adult language and scenes of a violent nature.

Following sell-out seasons of Seussical and The Addams Family, Nayland College is delighted to bring Blood Brothers to the Theatre Royal stage.

The 5th longest running show on the West End, with over 10,000 performances, Blood Brothers tells the captivating and moving tale of twins separated at birth, who grow up on the opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with tragic consequences.

When Mrs Johnstone, a young mother, is deserted by her husband and left to her own devices to provide for seven hungry children, she takes a job as a housekeeper in order to make ends meet. It is not long before her brittle world crashes around her when she discovers herself to be pregnant yet again – this time with twins. In a moment of weakness and desperation, she enters a secret pact with her employer which leads inexorably to the show’s shattering climax.

Starring Helen Moulder
Directed by Jeff Kingsford-Brown

The magnificent Cynthia Fortitude is definitely in the twilight of her long career as operatic diva. Tonight, she has arrived to give a musical lecture for the inaugural meeting of the Nelson Tasman Opera Guild (NELTOG). Her longsuffering accompanist, Miss Gertrude Rallentando, is nowhere to be found, so Cynthia must battle on without her.

“I wanted to honour the character of Gertie,” Helen says. “My good friend, Rose Beauchamp, who played Gertie for thirty years with me in Hens’ Teeth, The Legend Returns and Cynthia & Gertie Go Baroque, sadly died in 2022, and I wanted the delicious character of Gertie to live on somehow.” Gertie does not appear in this show of course, but is very present in all sorts of ways!

“Helen Moulder’s determined, dotty and totally delightful Cynthia…. an unbeatable gem of a comic character.” – Laurie Atkinson, Dominion-Post

“A most enduring clown, an irreverent and fanciful diva.” – Thomas La Hood, Theatreview
