Mr Lucky’s Party

Birmingham Hippodrome Piazza
1pm & 4pm
Avanti Display

During a tea party a couple begin a celebration. Party hats and a cake appear. However, with each course the weather worsens, the downpour increases and their mood blackens. Performed to an evocative soundtrack without words, this show is meticulous in character and detail. In typical Avanti style it concludes with a bizarre, spectacular and unexpected twist.
