Look whos starring at me at the top of the stairs!! — at Lyceum Theatre (Crewe)

A familiar face greets anybody attending a show at the Crewe Lyceum Theatre.

The framed photograph above of popular entertainer Jimmy Cricket can be seen on one of the walls at the theatre, which is Edwardian and more than 100 years old.

The theatre was one of the places where Jimmy performed during his 2013 National Music Hall Tour.

Other theatres during the tour included the Swansea Grand Theatre, Shrewsbury Theatre Severn and Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre.

Jimmy posted the photo on social media, saying: “Look who’s staring at me at the top of the stairs!! — at Lyceum Theatre (Crewe).”

A poster (right) promoting the tour says the shows feature “a full supporting cast and wonderful live band with songs to get you singing along and comedy to leave you rolling in the aisles”.

The first leg included venues such as the Swansea Grand Theatre, Shrewsbury Theatre Severn, and Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre to name a few.

And the autumn leg has dates at the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall, Harlow Playhouse and the Crewe Lyceum Theatre, among others.

A full list of dates and details for each show can be found within the tour dates section of this website.
