Grammy Award-Winning Artist Sheena Easton To Make West End Debut In 42nd Street

For many, singer Sheena Easton will either be remembered for her shiny jumpsuits, singing a Bond theme, some decidedly dodgy 80s pop videos (one featuring her dressed as Blanche from Golden Girls on a steam train), or being the subject of Esther Rantzen’s 70s reality TV show, The Big Time.

Of course, there is much more to Sheena Easton than all that. In 1987, Easton appeared with Prince in his movie, Sign o’ The Times, which spawned the terrific duet single, ‘U Got The Look’. Helped by the suggestive, ‘Sugar Walls’ from 1984 (which Prince also penned), Easton’s image went from girl-next-door to seductive diva temptress.

Easton’s last album, Fabulous was released in 2000. Since then, she’s appeared in movies and done the odd voiceover job, but last year saw her touring Australia with her Greatest Hits show. 2017 will see her treading the boards in the West End production of 42nd Street. 

Here’s the official press release blurb:

42nd-streetSheena Easton – the Grammy Award winning artist who has sold over 20 million records around the world – is to make her West End debut in the forthcoming production of 42nd Street.

Easton, who remains the only artist in history to have top five records on five major Billboard charts, will perform the iconic role of ‘Dorothy Brock’ in this new production of 42nd Street, the dazzling and romantic homage to the world of musical theatre.

The role of ‘Julian Marsh’ will be performed by Tom Lister, who played ‘Carl King’ in Emmerdale for 8 years and has recently been starring as ‘Wild Bill Hickok’ in the UK Tour of Calamity Jane. Clare Halse, who most recently appeared in the acclaimed production of Gypsy as ‘Marjorie May’ at the Savoy Theatre, will play ‘Peggy Sawyer’.

The production will be directed by the show’s co-author Mark Bramble (whose other hit shows include Barnum, Treasure Island, The Three Musketeers The Grand Tour) and director of many award-winning previous productions of 42nd Street on Broadway and around the world.

42nd Street is the song and dance, American dream fable of Broadway and includes songs such as ‘We’re In The Money’, ‘Lullaby of Broadway’, ‘Shuffle Off To Buffalo’, ‘Dames’, ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’, and ‘42nd Street’.

42nd Street arrives in London with an all-singing, high-kicking cast of over 50, ready to explode on to the West End’s biggest stage. The confirmed cast are:

Jasna Ivir, who will play ‘Maggie Jones’, Norman Bowman as ‘Pat Denning’, Stuart Neal as ‘Billy Lawlor’, Graeme Henderson as ‘Andy Lee’, Christopher Howell as ‘Bert Barry’, Bruce Montague as ‘Abner Dillon’, Mark McKerracher as ‘Mac/Doc/Thug’ and Emma Caffrey as ‘Annie’.

The ensemble comprise Clare Rickard, Victoria Hay, Leah Harris, Jasmine Kerr, Millie O’Connell, Katy Riches, Gabrielle Lewis Dodson, Daisy Steere, Karli Vale, Sophie Camble, Christina Shand, Courtney George, Zoe Rogers, Jessica Keable, Sara Bispham, Lisa Dent, Katharine Pearson, Kirsty Fuller, Rebecca Herszenhorn, Charlene Ford, Dylan Mason, Philip Bertioli, Luke George, Ronan Burns, Eddie Myles, Ryan Gover, Sam Murphy, Freddie Clements, Zac Watts, Greg Bernstein, Kristen Gaetz, Charlotte Anne Steen, Gabrielle Cocca, Kate Ivory Jordan, Josh Andrews, Martin McCarthy.

42nd Street is presented in London by Michael Linnit and Michael Grade together with The Global Group of Companies for Gate Ventures with Executive Producer Johnny Hon. 

• 42nd Street will play the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London from Monday 20 March 2017
