With Strictly Come Dancing now in full swing, the Gala Theatre has lined up three fab-U-lous shows that will keep the party going long after the coveted glitter ball trophy is raised. The Durham City venue will welcome professional dancers and stars of the popular BBC One programme Ian Waite, Vincent Simone and Giovanni Pernice to the region next spring. Strictly favourite Giovanni is also set to dazzle audiences with his new show This is Me, which comes to the Gala Theatre on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 March at 7.30pm Featuring plenty of the Italian’s natural charm, combined with beautiful choreography and a fabulous soundtrack, This is Me pays homage to the music and dances that have inspired Giovanni’s career. Tickets cost £32, £30 for concessions and £65 for meet and greet. To book tickets, visit www. galadurham.co.uk or call 03000 266 600.
