Celebrating his 65th year in showbusiness Sooty, the nation’s favourite bear, will be coming to the Connaught Theatre, Worthing with his canine chum Sweep, panda friend Soo and host Richard Cadell in his fantastic family show, The Sooty Show Live on Saturday August 30th at 11.00am and 2.30pm.
The Sooty show is the longest running children’s programme in the world. Harry Corbett originally bought Sooty for his son Matthew Corbett whilst on holiday in Blackpool in 1948 and Sooty first appeared on our TV screens in 1952. Following Harry Corbett’s retirement in 1976, Sooty was operated by Corbett’s son Matthew, and enjoyed a new wave of popularity on stage and TV. Matthew Corbett retired in 1998, giving Sooty to then co-star Richard Cadell who presented the show through another five series and he continues to be Sooty’s friend for the live tour.
Direct from Citv, Sooty heads into Worthing in a fabulous new show to delight the whole family. Joining the nation’s favourite bear will be Sweep, Soo and, as mentioned above, Sooty’s TV Partner Richard Cadell – who will be attempting to keep Sooty from getting up to mischief but boy will he have his hands full!
It’s Sooty’s Birthday party and things aren’t going to plan. Sooty and Sweep get messy baking the Birthday cake and will Soo ever decide which dress to wear? Special party guests include legendary Sooty favourites Butch the bulldog and Ramsbottom the snake so head along to join in with all the fun and games at Sooty’s Birthday Party!
There’s also a chance to meet Richard and Sooty after the show, which is a spectacular mix of magic, music and mess – with guaranteed giggles for Sooty fans old and new! Don’t miss it!
