IZZY WIZZY, let’s get busy preparing for a little bear’s big birthday … and he doesn’t look a day over five.
Sooty will mark 75 years in showbusiness next year, and with his friends Sweep and Sue, he’s heading to The Hexagon for a party to remember. But, well, this is The Sooty Show and the best laid plans can often go astray.
The show will include Sooty’s messy baking, Soo’s perfect party clothes, and Sweep’s dance moves, including the most amusing game of musical statues ever planned.
There will be special guests too: Butch the bulldog and Ramsbottom the snake will be faimilar to viewers of the TV show, regardless of whether you watched when Sooty’s helper was Harry Corbett, Matthew Corbett or Richard Cadell. And circus superstar Michael Jordon will be swapping Blackpool’s Tower Circus for The Hexagon as he presents his jaw-dropping juggling.
Sooty will be bringing his magic wand and is going to attempt his biggest magic trick ever – making a member of the audience float in the air.
Trying to ensure everyone gets to celebrate Sooty’s birthday will be Richard Cadell, who has been given some time away from Mr Slatter’s amusement park for the show. But Sooty has a new water pistol – it’s been turbochared to reach the back of the theatre and he’s not afraid to use it.
Well, good luck Richard.
The show is coming to The Hexagon on Sunday, February 11 next year, starting at the family-friendly time of 2.30pm. Afterwards, before he says bye bye everybody, bye bye, Sooty and Richard will host a meet and greet for his fans … of all ages.
Tickets are on sale, and cost £21, or £18.50 for under 16s.
