Shows for children have also been created for the Christmas season.

Each show means 42 Bluebell Girls and 16 Lido Boys on the stage and behind the curtains, and 24 dressing assistants facilitating the 20 to 30 costume changes, some of which must be completed in less than a minute. It also means 12 seamstresses to maintain the 600 costumes and 30 technicians who bustle about each day, not to mention the control room manager surveying both theatre and stage and ready to act on a moment’s notice.
