Acorn Antiques - The Musical

Acorn Antiques the Musical! is the all-singing all-dancing fully overalled stage version of the beloved TV spoof. This triumphant West End production brought together Julie Walters (Mrs Overall), Celia Imrie (Miss Babs) and Duncan Preston (Mr Clifford) - the original cast of the series. It was directed by Sir Trevor Nunn (Les Miserables, Woman in White, Starlight Express) and was written by Julie's understudy, the award-winning, Victoria Wood. This DVD, filmed during the sell-out run at the beautiful Haymarket Theatre, features an all-star supporting cast of Josie Lawrence, Neil Morrissey & Sally Ann Triplett.
