Star Rob Mills
Star Rob Mills as well as singers and dancers will perform in glittering costumes designed to take audiences on a nostalgia trip to the Golden Age of Hollywood — one writer has called it “a decadent visual treat”.

The show is produced by David King, one of the most successful theatrical producers ever to come out of the UK and the first producer from the Western world to have three consecutive tours in China.
