Artistic Director of the Show, Chris Cross, writes:
”It’s an absolute honour to have Mark on the bill, he truly is a gentleman and still very good at what he does!
Alongside Mark, there’s 14 more Variety Acts on the bill, I’ve got a troupe of acrobats, a guy who climbs inside a giant balloon and does his act in there, cann-cann dancers, showgirls, big illusions and magic, a girl performing aerial circus from the ceiling and all sorts of wonderful performers! I will be performing my trademark upside-down straitjacket escape as well as various other Magical stunts! This is my biggest show to date in the North East. I’ve waited 27 years for this one!
Only problem is, there’s over 1 Million people in the North-East of England and we only have 1,100 seats available!”
Billed as ”The Greatest Show on the Tyne”. It certainly look like it will be ”up there” and be a Brilliant night out for all ages to enjoy. A real throwback to the eccentricities of the old-fashioned music hall, it’s priced affordably to all at just £12 per ticket.
You’ll be taken on a Non-stop Entertainment Ride as Chris Cross the Magician is the Host of the Show with the Most! Cross has hand-picked 15 World-Class Acts from near and far to get-together in our Region for One Night Only!
