About this show

Part musical, part thriller, part drama, Blackpool brings the glitz of Vegas to the English seaside town in a gripping and witty whodunit. David Morrisey stars as Ripley Holden, a charismatic family man with a dark past, who is now poised to make top dollar. But he soon finds himself under suspicion and out of control when a young man is found dead in his showpiece arcade. David Tennant appears as investigating officer Carlisle who is determined to get to the truth, no matter what it takes.
