It’s an homage to the Rat Pack but brought up to the modern day\, and it’s a fantastic night. We are just thrilled. We all share the same dressing room – we’re mates. We’ve known each other for so long now – and the show is about warmth and family – because we are. It’s great\, really great.” \n\n\n\nWalsh was joined by his three mates and the Barry Robinson Big Band for a one-off show at the Palladium in London in March\, and the idea was born for a full-on Prat Pack tour. \n\n\n\nFans can expect an evening packed with jokes that can only come from the chemistry of such seasoned entertainers. Walsh\, Conley\, and Richie were all Pontins Bluecoats earlier in their careers and Pasquale was a Warner’s Greencoat\, giving them all a grounding in variety before decades-long careers at the very top of entertainment. \n\n\n\nBradley WalshWalsh hosts the BBC’s smash-hit revamp of the epic Gladiators (with son Barney)\, ITV mega-quiz The Chase and the Great British television institution that is Blankety Blank. For most stars that would be all you need to know\, but this is an actor\, comedian and singer whose credits also include Coronation Street\, Doctor Who and Law & Order: UK. He has released two hit albums – oh\, and he signed as a professional footballer for Brentford aged 18. \n\n\n\nBrian ConleySitcoms\, stage\, soap opera\, hit albums\, Strictly Come Dancing and puppets (“It’s a puppet!”) – Brian Conley has done it all. Musical Theatre credits include Me and My Girl\, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang\, Hairspray and Oliver!. Having shot to fame with ITV’s The Brian Conley Show\, in recent years\, appearances on Strictly Come Dancing and EastEnders have ensured his place as one of the country’s great performers. \n\n\n\nShane RichieShane Richie is probably best known for his classic EastEnder character Alfie Moon but his showbiz career goes back much further. For many\, he shot to prominence as host of Saturday morning TV’s Run the Risk as part of Going Live! But at the same time he was making his name on the stage in the Grease revival. Since then\, his credits range from The National Lottery: Win Your Wish List to I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. \n\n\n\nJoe PasqualeUnforgettable from the moment his first TV performances hit the screens in the mid-90s\, Joe Pasquale’s place in the nation’s hearts was cemented with victory in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! In 2004. Since then stage credits have included starring roles in Spamalot and The Producers. The idiosyncratic comedian’s latest hit tour he named ‘The New Normal – 40 Years Of Cack!’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom £112.74 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices:From £112.74Tickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDate & time:Thursday 22 May 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.

Musical accompaniment will be from an array of some of the UK’s leading West End singers and musicians led by Musical Director Duncan Waugh. \n\n\n\nTim is associated with writing the lyrics for so many of the world’s much-loved hit musicals – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat\, Jesus Christ Superstar\, Evita\, Chess\, and the Disney productions The Lion King\, Aladdin\, and Beauty and the Beast. His work has not been limited to musical theatre alone with Evita transferring to the big screen and theme music for the James Bond movie Octopussy. \n\n\n\nWith the show packed full of songs including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina\, Any Dream Will Do\, A Whole New World\, Can You Feel The Love Tonight\, I Don’t Know How To Love Him\, Circle of Life\, Chess\, Hakuna Matata\, Another Suitcase in Another Hall\, I Know Him So Well\, All Time High\, Must Love Me\, One Night In Bangkok\, My Life In Musicals is an absolute must for fans of musical theatre and brilliant music. \n\n\n\nRegarded by many as one of the world’s greatest lyricists Tim Rice commented “My Life in Musicals is a show in which I reveal all (well\, nearly all) of the secrets behind the creation of some of the best-known songs featuring my lyrics. I have had the good fortune to work with some of the greatest composers of our time\, including Andrew Lloyd Webber\, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson\, Elton John\, and Alan Menken\, without whose wonderful melodies I’d be at home watching television. \n\n\n\nYou’ll probably know quite a few of the songs – and will therefore be relieved to hear I won’t be singing them. All musical aspects of the show I hand over to the outstanding Duncan Waugh Band and West End Singers. There will be plenty of stops in between the hits during which I’ll tell you how they happened and\, in some cases\, nearly didn’t.

It’s been fascinating and I have been amazed how well some songs work in a lower key\, or with a different arrangement. In 2025 there will be plenty of songs included that I haven’t done before: Army\, Dirty Water\, Don’t Waste My Time\, Roll Over Lay Down; and even Down Down – which I was very surprised to find worked this way\, but it’s fantastic. \n\n\n\nThese shows are a real treat for me\, they suit my voice really well\, and I don’t have to yell.

Musical accompaniment will be from an array of some of the UK’s leading West End singers and musicians led by Musical Director Duncan Waugh. \n\n\n\nTim is associated with writing the lyrics for so many of the world’s much-loved hit musicals – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat\, Jesus Christ Superstar\, Evita\, Chess\, and the Disney productions The Lion King\, Aladdin\, and Beauty and the Beast. His work has not been limited to musical theatre alone with Evita transferring to the big screen and theme music for the James Bond movie Octopussy. \n\n\n\nWith the show packed full of songs including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina\, Any Dream Will Do\, A Whole New World\, Can You Feel The Love Tonight\, I Don’t Know How To Love Him\, Circle of Life\, Chess\, Hakuna Matata\, Another Suitcase in Another Hall\, I Know Him So Well\, All Time High\, Must Love Me\, One Night In Bangkok\, My Life In Musicals is an absolute must for fans of musical theatre and brilliant music. \n\n\n\nRegarded by many as one of the world’s greatest lyricists Tim Rice commented: “My Life in Musicals is a show in which I reveal all (well\, nearly all) of the secrets behind the creation of some of the best-known songs featuring my lyrics. I have had the good fortune to work with some of the greatest composers of our time\, including Andrew Lloyd Webber\, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson\, Elton John\, and Alan Menken\, without whose wonderful melodies I’d be at home watching television. \n\n\n\nYou’ll probably know quite a few of the songs – and will therefore be relieved to hear I won’t be singing them. All musical aspects of the show I hand over to the outstanding Duncan Waugh Band and West End Singers. There will be plenty of stops in between the hits during which I’ll tell you how they happened and\, in some cases\, nearly didn’t. Actually\, I might sing a little – but not Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £32.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 08 May 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\nThis show has an interval \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nMain auditorium \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Aylesbury Waterside Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nAylesbury Waterside Theatre is a stunning modern venue at the heart of Buckinghamshire’s cultural scene. \n\n\n\nOpened in 2010\, its striking wooden interior takes inspiration from the rolling Chiltern Hills\, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
