Carnaby Street is a stunning new musical, set against the backdrop of London’s West End in the Sixties, its famous clubs, trendy fashions and eccentric characters, at a time full of hope and freedom, when the world is changing and anything seems possible.
Directed by Bob Thomson (Blood Brothers, Dreamboats and Petticoats) and designed by Matthew Wright (Evita, La Cage Aux Folles), Carnaby Street tells the story of Jude, a working class boy from Liverpool, new in town and armed with nothing but his guitar and his dreams of fame and fortune. This joyous production - packed with over 30 classic hits of the time, including Roll Over Beethoven, Go Now, Keep On Running, You Really Got Me, Let’s Spend The Night Together and many more - follows the highs and lows, the passion and heartbreak, of his journey in pursuit of stardom.

Following 15 years as fashion and celebrity stylist Zoe Lem has created a collection of dresses celebrating the classic vintage styles from the 1920s to the 1960s along with the ideal body shapes for each era.

Starting with a vintage body shape consultation Zoe will identify the bride’s body shape (Hour glass, Pear Shaped or Straight up and Down) then look at the most flattering shape/silhouette to maximise the bride’s body shape, height and colouring.
