Uplifting evening promised

10 March 2010

AUDIENCES are being guaranteed a hilarious, touching and uplifting evening of music and comedy in Bristol next month.

MGM star Debbie Reynolds will be performing at The Colston Hall on April 14.

For more than six decades audiences have been delighted by the talents of the singer, dancer and actress

When she was 16 and her talent show entry was lip-syncing to a record of Betty Hutton's I'm a Square in the Social Circle, two of the judges of the pageant were talent scouts from Warner Bros and MGM.

The Warner Bros scout won a coin toss which gave him first chance to offer Mary Frances a screen test.

In 1949 she then started working with MGM and appeared her in Three Little Words with Fred Astaire and Red Skelton.

By the mid-1950s Debbie Reynolds was one of Hollywood's most sought after female stars.

She has gone on to appear in famous films like Singing In The Rain, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, The Bodyguard and That's Entertainment.

In the Bristol show Debbie will show original MGM footage and salute her glittering career as she shares stories of her incredible life in song and dance.

Tickets, priced £22-27, are available from the box office on 0117 922 3686.
