A tribute to Petula Clark will feature at Horsham Town Hall on Friday as part of Seniors Week celebrations.
Music-theatre star Melissa Langton, part of internationally renowned girl-group The Fabulous Singlettes, will bring the songs and story of one of Britain’s most cherished entertainers to life in ‘Downtown’.
Critics have described Downtown as a hand-clapping, toe-tapping tribute to the woman who at the height of Beatlemania wrestled the Fab Four for the number-one position on the music charts – and came out on top.
In the 1960s Clark repeatedly topped the charts around the world with hits such as Colour My World, I Know a Place, My Love, Happy Heart, Don’t Sleep in the Subway and Downtown.
