“Today we also announce a fabulous cast who will join us at the start of the show’s journey with us in our home county of Buckinghamshire. My dream to combine my world of music with the production of the show has seen the coming together of a hugely talented company including some fresh, exciting upcoming musicians alongside some amazing West End performers.  Make sure you book to join us, it will be one hell of a ride!”
