delighted that the tour is visiting my hometown. As a child I performed at the
Civic Theatre many times; it's a lovely theatre and it'll be absolutely amazing
to perform there again. I am particularly excited that my exceptionally
supportive family will be able to see the show on their doorstep. I’ve always
expressed that the North East is the friendliest place in England so I'm sure
we'll have a fantastic audience. Get your dancing shoes
on and thank you for having me back!'

audiences to dance and sing and immerse themselves in the summer of ’63,
