The Cliffs Pavilion is preparing for a varied run of entertainment in early March, with music, comedy and large‑scale theatre all scheduled across a busy few weeks.

While the venue has a broader programme on offer, five productions stand out for their mix of nostalgia, big‑name performers and popular returning titles.

Music fans begin the month with "The Very Best of Frankie Valli – Starring Peter Andre" on Wednesday, March 4.

The show charts the rise of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, tracing their journey from street‑corner singers in New Jersey to global success and a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Featuring hits such as Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry and Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, the production brings together West End performers and includes a VIP meet‑and‑greet option for those attending ahead of the main performance.

Comedy follows on Thursday, March 5, with "Judi Love: All About The Love".

The stand‑up returns with a new show centred on the realities of adult life, drawing on themes of parenting, work and personal resilience.

Known for her candid style, she reflects on the pressures of modern living with humour shaped by her own experiences.

The performance is restricted to those aged 14 and over due to expected strong language and adult themes.

Live music returns on Monday, March 9, as Scouting For Girls bring their anniversary tour to the venue.

Marking 15 years since the release of Everybody Wants To Be On TV, the show mixes material from the album with the band’s biggest hits.

Both seated and standing options are in place, with age rules varying accordingly.

A full theatrical production arrives the following week with "Legally Blonde The Musical", running from Tuesday, March 17 to Saturday, March 21.

The new staging features Amber Davies in the lead role of Elle Woods, following the character’s shift from fashion devotee to aspiring lawyer.

Presented by the creative team behind Kinky Boots, the musical promises a lively retelling of the well‑known story.

Rounding off the period is "My! My! ABBA Dinner Dance" on Friday, March 20, an 18‑plus evening that pairs a three‑course meal with a tribute performance by West End‑trained singers.

Designed as a social night out, it offers diners a blend of live music and hospitality within the Maritime Room setting.

Together, the five events mark a notably varied spell for the venue’s early spring season.
