Stand by Me
is the phenomenal musical history of a group that helped to define Atlantic
Records, inspired early rock and roll and was a forerunner to both the black
music movement in 1950’s America and even early Motown.
Michael says
“We are delighted to be returning to this wonderful venue in our new rolls and
to be appearing alongside such a talented cast including local girl Sarah
Martin from Gateshead”. Sarah a recent graduate from the
Academy of Contemporary Music has landed a roll in the new production and is
hoping that she will make her way to the West End next year. Playing the parts
