Stars in Their Eyes runs at Riverside Centre in Newport on Saturday 17 October. It begins at 19:30 and is scheduled to finish at 23:00.
The format borrows the familiar transformation-and-performance idea, with local entertainment at the centre of the night. The event also has a charity purpose, so your ticket supports a community occasion as well as an evening of music and stage performances. The television-inspired format lets each act build a reveal as well as a performance. Because the evening supports charity, the audience backs a local cause while cheering the transformations on stage. A town-centre event can become part of the day instead of demanding a separate expedition. Newport’s mix of shops, venues and riverside routes gives you options on either side of the advertised time.
Tickets start at £11.55 and need to be booked. The show runs indoors from 19:30 to 23:00, so expect a full Saturday evening rather than a short concert. The published material does not name the performers or songs, leaving the reveals for the night. Browse other live music if you prefer a billed artist. This event suits groups who enjoy local talent, costume and a playful format, with the charity purpose giving the applause somewhere useful to go after the curtain closes.
