Once Upon A Time At The Adelphi

1930’s Liverpool, and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood pour off the luxury liners for their first taste of England; a night in the city’s most fashionable hotel.

Amidst the chaos and decadence, no-nonsense Alice from Reception has fallen for the dashing Thompson from accounts – but fate, Hollywood, World War Two and a dizzying array of staff and guests intervene in an epic Liverpool love story spanning sixty years.

Writer/Director Phil Willmott is well known for his imaginative musical productions such as Around the World in Eighty Days and Dick Barton-Special Agent. With a toe-tapping score and a host of exuberant characters this romantic musical journey is a joyful celebration of one of Britain’s most renowned hotels.
