Friday 18 September: Sing the Musicals with Massaoke
If your idea of a great evening involves singing along rather than simply sitting back and listening, Sing the Musicals could be the perfect choice.
Massaoke's live-band sing-along spectacular arrives at Venue Cymru on Friday 18 September 2026, starting at 7:30 pm.
The concept is simple: a live band performs songs from some of the biggest musicals, while giant screens provide the lyrics so the audience can join in.
The Llandudno performance is scheduled for 7:30 pm–10:00 pm.
Expect songs from favourites including:
Mamma Mia!
Wicked
Les Misérables
Dirty Dancing
Hamilton
The Lion King
Oliver!
Rocky Horror
The Greatest Showman
We Will Rock You
Massaoke describes the production as a live-band sing-along experience, with songs from stage and screen accompanied by on-screen lyrics.
It's a particularly good option for groups of friends, families and anyone who enjoys a lively atmosphere.
Things to Do in Llandudno Evening: Make a Full Night of It
One of the advantages of seeing a show at Venue Cymru is that you don't have to make the concert the entire evening.
Llandudno's promenade and town centre provide plenty of opportunities to turn a theatre visit into a proper night out.
Start with dinner
Arriving in Llandudno earlier gives you time to enjoy dinner before the curtain goes up.
A few local options worth considering include:
Y Review Restaurant — a seafront option on Vaughan Street.
Dylan's Llandudno — a popular choice for seafood and coastal dining.
Wildwood Llandudno Italian Restaurant | Pizza, Pasta & Grill — useful if Italian food suits your pre-show plans.
Carlo's Restaurant — an Italian restaurant in Pleasant Street.
Cottage Loaf — a relaxed gastropub option in the town centre.
For a 7:30 pm performance, it is sensible to allow enough time for your meal, walking to Venue Cymru and finding your seats without rushing. Restaurant opening times can change, so check directly with the restaurant and consider booking ahead.
Enjoy the promenade
Venue Cymru's seafront location makes it easy to build in a short pre-show walk.
September is particularly attractive for an evening stroll. The busiest summer period is beginning to ease, while the promenade, Victorian architecture and views across Llandudno Bay still provide plenty of atmosphere.
If you have arrived early, enjoy the sea air before heading inside for the performance.
After the Show: Keep the Evening Relaxed
One of the pleasures of staying overnight in Llandudno is not having to rush home immediately after the final encore.
Instead, you can return to your accommodation, make a drink, settle down and enjoy the rest of the evening at your own pace.
For larger groups staying at Curzon Villa, there is an especially appealing way to finish the night: a relaxing soak in the luxury outdoor hot tub.
After an energetic evening of singing along to musical favourites or enjoying the rhythms of Graceland, stepping outside for some quiet time in the hot tub can be the perfect contrast.
It turns an evening at Venue Cymru into part of a much more complete North Wales escape.
Where to Stay for Venue Cymru Llandudno September 2026
