Carol! It's Christmas: Brand-New Festive Show comes to Sheffield

Carol! It's Christmas is full of surprises and is told via The Glitterbomb Dancers’ signature high energy dance, sugar high pop, drag and comedy.

Just when you thought Christmas couldn’t get any camper, The Glitterbomb Dancers return to Sheffield to unveil their second remake of a Christmas classic, presented by Theatre Deli.

This time, the Leeds-based queer cabaret dance troupe are messing with the Dickensian staple: A Christmas Carol. An 80s Christmas party. A boss named Carol who thinks the holiday season has gotten too silly. And the Cher’s of Christmas Past, Present and Future, who teach her just how fun and outrageous the holidays can be in this adult festive show. 

Full of surprises and told through The Glitterbomb Dancers’ signature high energy dance, sugar high pop, drag and comedy, Carol! It’s Christmas will run at Theatre Deli’s venue near to Bramall Lane Stadium from Thursday 14th December - Sunday 31st December, with matinee and evening performances. The run will include BSL and audio-described showings, and all performances will be relaxed with the option to use Theatre Deli’s dedicated calm room.

Carol! It’s Christmas will be Theatre Deli’s first Christmas show and first original production since the organisation opened its Arley Street venue in March 2023. The Glitterbomb Dancers will continue to spread their brand of camp Christmas joy across Sheffield this festive season as they perform their show Cracked Nuts at Sheffield Drama Studio.

Best enjoyed with a drink and a good laugh, bag yourself an early bird ticket from just £17! Or if you want to treat yourself or someone special to a VIP ticket with pre-show entertainment and a bottle for the ultimate Christmas party, go for it! 

You will never watch A Christmas Carol in quite the same way again!

Dr Joseph Mercia, Producer and Co-Director for Glitterbomb Dancers for the Glitterbomb Dancers said: “We are very excited to be working with Theatre Deli on this project, who share our passion for making interesting, fun and accessible art happen around Yorkshire!“

Daljnder Singh, Executive Producer for Theatre Deli Sheffield said: “We're thrilled to be working with the fabulous Glitterbomb Dancers to present our festive co-production 'Carol! It's Christmas”

Carol, Its Christmas will run from 14th - 31st December 2023 at Theatre Deli, Cuthbert House, Arley Street, S2 4QP. Early bird tickets are available until 30th September. Tickets can be booked at https://www.theatredeli.co.uk.

Fisherman's Friend Original Extra Strong Britain’s Christmas carol season is in crisis as record numbers of Britons battle to keep mid-winter coughs, colds and flu at bay.

 

But Fisherman’s Friend is here to rescue our carol singers, and ensure Christmas songs will be heard all over the country.

 

The company is offering a FREE packet of Fisherman’s Friend Extra Strong Original lozenges to carol singers across the UK. It is well known in the singing community that sucking on a Fisherman’s Friend lozenge can help to keep voices in tune. In fact, even tenor Pavarotti used them to help keep his airwaves clear.

By regularly sucking on a Fisherman’s Friend, the strong menthol and eucalyptus will help keep the symptoms away, and with more menthol than many of its rivals, it really is the strongest there is! In fact, Fisherman’s Friend has been invigorating Britain since 1865.

With 1.3 million carols singers set hit the streets in the run up to the Christmas festivities to spread seasonal cheer and raise funds for charities the folk at Fisherman’s Friend are determined to help spread a bit of festive cheer.

If your vocal cords are in need of some help simply call the dedicated SOS (save our singers) telephone helpline on 020 7554 4496 or email at saveoursingers@rt-com.com clearly leaving your name and address. Fisherman’s Friend will despatch a free pack immediately, while stocks last, to help get you back in tune on time for your carol singing.

Fisherman’s Friend retail at 69p for a 25g pack (approx. 20 lozenges) and are available from all leading independent and multiple grocers, pharmacies, newsagents, convenience stores and forecourts.
