The ‘Savs’ has been touring since its foundation in 1975
Our past productions
Every autumn, the ‘Savs’ go on tour to venues across the north of England and beyond. We have been performing every year since it was started in 1975. We tour with our own professional orchestra, scenery and costumes and create a high quality production, packed with energy, wit, beautiful music and quality entertainment. Pictured are the most recent tours with details of venues, director and musical director.
