Su Pollard – Still Fully Charged
Su Pollard: Still Fully Charged celebrates Su’s 50 years in show business in a one-woman variety show packed with fabulous songs, hilarious stories, and much-loved characters. In a flurry of costumes, props, and live musical accompaniment, Su takes the audience through her career from the earliest days of auditions, through her many acclaimed musical theatre appearances, to her international TV successes.
Still Fully Charged shows why Su has become the national treasure she is today, with audiences describing her as "a powerhouse of a woman … just brilliant!”, "absolutely hilarious”, "fabulous, entertaining and nostalgic”, and "A-MA-ZING!”.
Speaking about the tour, Su said: “I am thrilled to be going back on the road, celebrating my 50 years in the business with audiences all across the country. The new show is an evening of hilarious stories from throughout my career, songs that have been important to me, and maybe even the appearance of one or two familiar characters! I can't wait to have some fun in my favourite places with fabulous people. See you soon! Oh ‘eck!”
From humble beginnings on TV’s Opportunity Knocks (where she came second to a singing dog), through her years as Maplin’s chalet maid Peggy in the hit BBC series Hi-de-Hi!, to her West End and national touring roles in Godspell, Annie, and Little Shop of Horrors, and her more recent scene-stealing TV appearances on Celebrity Masterchef, Gimme Gimme Gimme, and Would I Lie To You? – it’s been an action-packed half-century of sheer entertainment. And Su’s only getting started!
Su Pollard: Still Fully Charged is written by Su Pollard and Paul Boyd, directed by Paul Boyd, with musical direction by Steve Edis. The show is produced by Peter Frosdick and Classical Events.
