20 – 24 April
Swing into spring with this toe-tapping musical comedy gem.
Spike Milligan’s celebrated war memoirs take to the road in this gloriously absurd and exuberant hit comedy drama, which has had both audiences and critics in stitches.
High comedy and tragedy collide, as we follow Gunner Milligan and his jazz quartet, adrift on the tide of great historic events, discovering how humour, music and comradeship enabled a hapless bunch of young men to prevail against the might of the Nazi War machine.
Songs include the jazz greats Chattanooga Choo Choo, Ain’t Misbehavin’, In the Mood, Honeysuckle Rose, Kalamazoo and many more.

Join us in the cafe bar after the show for a free post-show party. One of Southampton's most unique DJ performances heads to The Nuffield with a 1950’s twist! Expect to hear a repertoire ranging from Bill Haley and the Comets to Ella Fitzgerald to Bo Diddley in this unique and lively show combining DJ sets and live percussion hand-in-hand with the era. Having a few tricks up their sleeves along the way, each tune will be carefully selected with the infectious persuasion to move your feet! … so put on your dancing shoes, grab the nearest guy or gal and head to the dance floor!
