Van Buren - Lilly Savage - Coronation Street For the third year running Andrew Van Buren & his company appeared alongside the BAFTA winning cast of Coronation Street in a grand variety show for the Variety Club of Great Britain. The big question was after last years success of making comedy star Peter Kay magically appear who would Van Buren make appear this year. The rumours were Paul O Grady (Lilly Savage) who made a guest appearance in the show, however William Roache (Ken Barlow) magically materialised on stage to a great audience reaction.
Fellow Coronation Street celebrity Julia Haworth (Claire Casey) once again joined the Van Buren company, this year not to be levitated, but instead taking part in Van Burens dramatic Fluorescent Lights Penetration Illusion. During the second half of the show Van Buren added more variety with his juggling, trick cycling & heart stopping plate spinning act.
Alongside the Coronation Street company, Lilly Savage & Van Buren were comedy star Bernie Clifton, tv comedian Johnny Casson, the Tiller Girls, Eira Lynn Jones & the Showstoppers. The show was held at Manchester Opera House on 18th April 2004.
