Once Upon a Time at the Adelphi is a dazzling new musical with a toe-tapping score, a host of exuberant characters and some great show-stopping songs.

It’s 1930’s Liverpool and the glamorous Hollywood elite pour off the luxury liners for their taste of England; a night in the city’s most fashionable hotel.

Amidst the diamonds and the decadence, no-nonsense Alice from Reception has fallen for the dashing Thompson from Accounts – But fate, Hollywood, World War Two and a dizzying array of staff and guests intervene in a timeless Liverpool love story spanning sixty years.

Writer/Director Phil Willmott is well known for his imaginative musical productions such as Around the World in Eighty Days and Dick Barton – Special Agent. He has also directed Much Ado About Nothing, Billy Liar and Master Harold…and the Boys at the Playhouse.
