Phoenix Nights actor Ted Robbins is recovering well in hospital after collapsing on stage at the Manchester arena on opening night.
A performance of Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights which was cancelled when comic actor Ted Robbins collapsed on stage has been re-scheduled.
Robbins, 59, slumped during the opening night of a revival of the show at the Manchester Arena on Saturday night.
The curtain was closed immediately as staff rushed to the stage with medical equipment before the event was cancelled.
All ticket holders are now invited to attend a matinee performance which will take place on Sunday, February 15th.
Robbins' wife Judy has said he is improving and will be "fit and healthy soon".
It was a very distressing night for all the people involved in the show and indeed the audience. The cast and crew would like to thank them for their patience whilst these arrangements have been made.
Most importantly Ted is on the mend and the whole team send their best wishes to him and his family.
