It has been announced that Broadway star Felicia Boswell will make her West End debut in hit musical The Drifters Girl from 5 July, taking over the role of Faye Treadwell from Beverley Knight.

Boswell (Motown, Memphis) joins current stars Adam J Bernard, Tarinn Callender, Matt Henry and Tosh Wanogho-Maud in the production.

From the highs of hit records and sell out tours to the lows of legal battles and personal tragedy, The Drifters Girl charts the trailblazing efforts of the world’s first African American, female music manager and how she refused to ever give up on the group she loved. Thirty years, and hundreds of hit songs later, there is no doubt that Faye Treadwell was and always will be, The Drifters Girl.

The Drifters Girl has a book by Ed Curtis, based on an idea by Tina Treadwell, and which is co-created by Beverley Knight, Adam J Bernard, Tarinn Callender, Matt Henry and Tosh Wanogho-Maud. It is directed by Jonathan Church, with set design by Anthony Ward, choreography by Karen Bruce, costumes by Fay Fullerton, orchestrations and musical supervision by Chris Egan, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound by Tom Marshall and video by Andrzej Goulding.
