In the Spring of 2012, Sir Bruce Forsyth will have been working in show business for 70 years. To celebrate the occasion, he returns to the London stage for the first time in more than a decade in a spectacular one-off performance of comedy and music at THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL
Says Bruce “I can’t believe it’s been such a long time since I last did what I love best – working to a live theatre audience. It’s how I started and what I did for so many, many years. Television is great but for me as a performer nothing compares to a live theatre show.”
Bruce will be accompanied by an orchestra under the direction of Strictly Come Dancing’s Dave Arch and the show will feature songs from his critically acclaimed EMI album, “These Are My Favourites”.
Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster priced from £30 - £65 (subject to booking fee)

In 1998 he was awarded the O.B.E., in 2006, the C.B.E. and in 2011 a Knighthood for his services to the entertainment industry. In 2008, as well as celebrating his 80th birthday, Bruce was awarded a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest accolade the Academy can bestow. In 2011 he presents Series 9 of Strictly Come Dancing and returns to his musical roots with the release of his album “(These are) My Favourites” on EMI.
