The show also packs in Elvis, the Beach Boys, Tina Turner, ABBA and Wham, rounding off in style with Prince and 1999 before winding up as the clock strikes midnight and the curtain falls on the 20th Century.

Katie said: “The show re-winds clock to the midnight hour on December 31, 1899.

“We open with Clair de Lune then pick up the pace with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang before time-travelling through ballet classics such as Coppelia, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.”
