This brings back memories of when I lived in Cleveleys. It was around 1949 to 1951 when saw several shows at the Queens theatre for free because I attended in my St. John Ambulance uniform to provide first aid which I am glad to say was never called for. What reminded me to google the Queens was because tonight I have been to a live show of Oklahoma in Northampton which I am sure made a big impression on me aged 11 on the Queens stage. I never did see Happiness Ahead the Mildred Crossley shows because I helped out at the nearby rival entertainment – the outdoor Arena Follies starring Charlie Parsons, Eddie Stacey and Mabel Dare and troupes of pierrots. Most shows were cancelled due to rain! Whenever I return to Cleveleys I walk along the prom alone and burst into my old world of song doing poor impressions of Joseph Locke and others recalling those days of my youth on the now defunct arena.
