Bristol Hippodrome

BLOC’s 75th anniversary production!

Bill Snibson, a Lambeth costermonger, turns out to be the long-lost heir to the Earldom of Hareford β€” to the horror of his new aristocratic relations, who set about grooming him for the title and separating him from his cockney girlfriend Sally.

Noel Gay’s score includes The Lambeth Walk, The Sun Has Got His Hat On and Leaning on a Lamp Post.

How do I join?

Everyone who performs with BLOC has auditioned for their place. We look for strong singers, confident movers and actors who can hold a stage.

Auditions are held each spring for that year’s show. Tell us you are interested and you will be the first to hear when the details are announced.

There is as much to do off the stage as on it. Backstage crew, wardrobe, props and the production team behind a show of this scale are all volunteer roles, and we are looking for people all year round.
