With CATS opening at the Opera House & Winter Gardens we caught up with Jane McDonald to find out why she loves working in Blackpool.
What do you love most about working in Blackpool?
So many reasons! The people are the main reason but the Opera House is one of the best venues in the UK to perform in without doubt.
What three words sum up Blackpool to you?
Vibrant, exciting and welcoming.
Have you ever been to the top of Tower or ridden the BIG One at the Pleasure Beach ?
I have done both! I have been to the top of Blackpool Tower several times and had a ride on the Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Did you come to Blackpool as a child? Are there any particular ‘Memories’ you’d like to share?
I came to Blackpool as a child, teenager and adult. I remember the first time I saw the Illuminations when I was a child, it was truly magical and something I will never forget. My mum and I always saw the shows in Blackpool, it was so exciting and spectacular. I remember ballroom dancing with my father in the Tower Ballroom, he was a lovely dancer. How lucky am I to have such wonderful memories.
CATS is at the Blackpool Winter Gardens from 9 July - 5 September. Tickets start from £20, with half price children’s tickets Tues-Wed.
