The Floral Pavilion has announced that Anton du Beke and Giovanni Pernice will be performing their touring show ‘Him & Me’ at New Brighton on Monday 5 July.

This show has been two years in the making, with the ‘Stricly Come Dancing’ duo looking forward to the show at the Floral Pavilion, “There’ll be dancing, singing, and general repartee – and I for one can’t wait!”, Anton said.

Joined by a world-class cast of dancers and singers, Anton and Giovanni have come together to put on “the show to end all shows – the ultimate entertaining night out!”

Giovanni said that he was “really looking forward to performing there [the Floral Pavilion] again!”, but Anton said, “I’ve never played at that theatre before. I’m so delighted we are bringing our new show there!”

On how the idea come around to do a tour together, Giovanni said, “I had an idea that I would love to do a tour with my idol!! I know Anton is such a busy man, so we have been back and forth for a couple of years. We finally got the dates to line up and we now get do the most phenomenal, beautiful and fun show touring around the country.”

The duo have been busy during the COVID-19 pandemic, “It’s actually still been fun as we have had a load of great zoom calls putting it all together. In ‘normal’ times, there isn’t actually much time, so we have taken our time to put it together.”, Anton said. “Alan, our director, has some brilliant ideas”

After nearly a year and a half with no live theatre during lockdown, the boys are looking forward to getting on-stage and performing in front of their fans, “It will be amazing and special.”, Giovanni said. Anton added, “Just being in the room for the auditions has been great, so much energy, and so much talent. The cast are all excited.”
