  • Show Information

Have you ever wished you could hear music from all the greatest musicians on one stage? From Lizzo to Radiohead, Dua Lipa to Bruce Springsteen, there’s something for everyone coming to the Exeter Northcott stage, performed by the best a cappella talent in the country – no instruments required!

If you loved Pitch Perfect, then this show is ready to bring your love of riff-offs to a whole new level by bringing over 100 voices together as vocal harmony groups from UK universities compete in an exhilarating Quarterfinal in the hopes of becoming World Champions at the Grand Finals in New York. The US may have birthed the modern a cappella scene, but the UK is ready to take the crown this year as musical skill, showmanship, and creativity overflow from all corners of the UK.

The Varsity Vocals ICCA is a premiere tournament dedicated to showcasing the art of student a cappella singing and providing top-notch a cappella groups with valuable feedback from our highly qualified judges. Our young vocalists have the opportunity to share their talent with an international audience, develop relationships with each other, and cultivate the art of a cappella singing as well as a lifelong love of music.

Exeter Northcott Theatre and Le Navet Bete's Dick Whittington artwork. Background: a foggy panorama photo of the city of London, with iconic buildings such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and St Paul's Cathedral. The cityscape is washed over with a burgundy haze. Foreground: A black and white cat (black body, white neck collar, white paws) looks towards the cityscape and we see them in near silhouette. They are stood on a yellow-brick path, with green grassy hills either side of them. On the hills, grey rats with large red eyes. On the left hand side of the cat, a rat holds a stereotypical hobo sack on a stick. At the top of the artwork, gold text reads: 'Exeter Northcott Theatre and Le Navet Bete present Dick Whittington.' Another group of rats with large red eyes are playing around the letters in 'Dick Whittington'. A cat paw icon replaces the dot on top of the letter 'I' in 'Dick', and a block of cheese replaces the dot on top of the second letter 'I' in 'Whittington.
