JODIE PRENGER to star in Tell Me on a Sunday in Edinburgh
The Watermill Theatre production of Andrew
Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s
classic musical Tell Me on a Sunday starring
Jodie Prenger will arrive at the Edinburgh Playhouse on Monday 9th
May.
Tell Me on a Sunday charts the romantic misadventures of a young English
girl in New York in the heady days of the 1980’s. Brimming with optimism, she
seeks success and love. But as she weaves her way through the maze of the city
and her own anxieties, frustrations and heartaches she begins to wonder whether
she's been looking for love in all the wrong places. This iconic
musical, with a wonderful original score, features the
chart-topping Take That Look Off Your Face and the title track Tell
Me on A Sunday.
Jodie Prenger is probably
best known for winning the role of ‘Nancy’ in Cameron Mackintosh’s West End
production of “Oliver!” through the BBC television series “I’d Do Anything”.
During her run in the show at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane she received both
critical and public acclaim for her portrayal of the role. Most recently Jodie
wowed audiences playing the title role in the national tour of the musical
“Calamity Jane”. She has also starred in the National Theatre’s hit production
of “One Man, Two Guvnors” both in the West End and on tour and as ‘Lady of the
Lake’ in “Spamalot”. Jodie is also a regular presenter on BBC Radio 2.
Originally conceived for television, Tell Me on a Sunday has been performed by many legendary musical
theatre stars including Marti Webb and Sarah Brightman. This new production for
2016 will include an intimate chat with Jodie about
life, love and playing the role of Emma.
