From the producers that brought audiences Rita, Sue and Bob Too! and The Salon, Regal Entertainments are back with brand-new comedy, Achy Breaky Bride this June.
This hilarious jukebox country musical, written by Emma Culshaw and David Paul and directed by Sylvie Gatrill, comes to St Helens Theatre Royal from Tuesday 4 – Saturday 8 June.
The shows stellar cast has today been announced and includes: Radio City’s Leanne Campbell, Blood Brothers’ Daniel Taylor, Benidorm’s Crissy Rock and BBC All Together Now’s Divina De Campo. The Ruby Slippers’ Emma Vaudrey and Rita, Sue and Bob Too! star Olivia Sloyan complete the line-up. It’s never a dull day in Dolly’s Dream Dresses, St Helens’ boutique Bridal shop run by A Boy Named Sue (Taylor) and his sister Jolene (Campbell).
Radio City breakfast host Leanne Campbell is always an audience favourite. She is well-known to audiences through her many panto appearances and other stage roles, including Carol in The Salon at St Helens Theatre Royal in 2016 and The Epstein Theatre in 2017.
