Hollywood Proms Spectacular Planned For Festival Starring Michael Ball And Sheridan Smith

Musical theatre royalty will headline a spectacular Hollywood Proms night at Lytham Festival 2019.

The Lancashire seaside festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2019 with its biggest line-up ever from Wednesday July 10 to Sunday 14.

The festival will close on Sunday 14 with a glittering and dazzling Hollywood Proms finale featuring a host of stars celebrating music from the movies.

Two-time Olivier Award winning musical theatre star Michael Ball and Olivier and BAFTA award winner Sheridan Smith are already confirmed headliners with more names to follow.

General tickets go on sale at 9am Friday November 30 from www.lythamfestival.com

Hollywood Proms follows the festival's successful West End Proms in 2017 and is the brainchild of festival director Peter Taylor.

West End Proms was produced exclusively for Lytham Festival with a string of stars including Lea Salonga, Ruthie Henshall, Collabro, Claire Sweeney and Jodie Prenger.

Hollywood Proms will see stars of both stage and screen perform an array of hits with a full orchestra. The evening will end with a traditional Last Night of the Proms finale - an event when families and live music lovers are encouraged to pack up their candelabras and picnic hampers for an evening of musical celebration.

Speaking about the event Peter Said: "We are so excited to be creating Hollywood Proms exclusively for Lytham Festival.

"West End Proms was a massive hit so for 2019 we want to create something even bigger.

"It is very exciting to already have Sheridan and Michael confirmed and I can promise we have more spectacular names to add to the bill. It's our 10th anniversary so it's a very special year anyway, and we are determined to make Hollywood Proms the most glittering night of the year."
