Stars in Their Eyes

Local performers transform into familiar music stars for a charity show at Newport’s Riverside Centre on Saturday 17 October.

Presented by Stars in Their Eyes Isle of Wight

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.
