About the show

Join us for a dazzling night of vintage charm with a bold new twist!

Take a seat in our studio audience to witness the magic (and mishaps) of a live television variety show with BRIGHT AND BOLD - A Golden Age Winter Special. Our performers will enchant you on stage while revealing some of the behind-the-scenes antics that keep this show alive! Come see us recreate the golden age of television with star-studded performers that represent the beauty and diversity of our communities today. We're not just recreating history, we're rewriting it, in technicolour!
