“We know that the Burnley public love to come and listen to a varied selection of musical numbers both old and new.”

Audiences will be wowed by spectacular renditions of modern tracks from the likes of Hamilton, Kinky Boots, Dreamgirls, Nine to Five, Parade, Company and Gypsy.

There will also be a selection of old favourites from shows like Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Sister Act, Mack and Mabel, and Finian’s Rainbow.

Audiences will be entertained by solos, duets, quintets and full company numbers.

Anthony Williams will direct and choreograph the entire production and the five-piece orchestra will be under the musical direction of Steven Mercer.

Next month, Les Musicals brings X Factor stars Jonathan Ansell (frontman of G4) and Jai McDowall to town.

The singing sensations have joined forces to deliver another round of dramatic and spine-tingling concerts after enjoying sell-out success last year.
