Ding Dong Merrily Diane
After her triumphant return to The National Theatre this summer, 80’s songstress Diane Chorley is getting musical mastermind Milky, doting partner Ron and legendary band The Buffet, back together.
For two magical, yuletide evenings she’ll be throwing a Christmas extravaganza, packed full of her show stopping hits, festive classics and jaw dropping stories from her time as the star at the top of the 80’s tree.
Expect dancing, laughter and a very special guest each night to join the Duchess in wishing you a Ding Dong Merrily Christmas.
