As The Congress is closed for refurbishment the company have selected a more intimate show but one, that will still deliver what is expected of the group – packed with great songs and dancing.

The show is a tender, poignant and funny look at the adventures or rather the misadventures, in the ways of love encountered by the gullible and guileless lady known as Charity Hope Valentine, a dance hall hostess who always gives her heart and her earnings to the wrong man.
