CILLA - THE MUSICAL in UK Tour
Bill Kenwright and
Laurie Mansfield present the new musical about the life and legend of Cilla
Black, which will open in her hometown at the Liverpool Empire from Thursday 7th
– 16th September before embarking on a nationwide tour. Cilla’s son,
Robert Willis, will be the Executive Producer.
Cilla - The
Musical, is a spectacular and
heart-warming musical adaptation of the critically acclaimed ITV mini-series based
on the early life of Cilla Black, by BAFTA award winner, Jeff Pope (The Moorside, Philomena, From The Cradle To The Grave, Mrs Biggs).
The
story follows the extraordinary life of the ordinary teenage girl from
Liverpool, Priscilla White, and her rocky, yet incredible, rise to fame. By the
age of just 25 she was recognized as international singing star Cilla Black. By
the age of 30 she had become Britain’s favorite television entertainer headlining
series’ of Blind Date, Surprise Surprise and many more.
The
musical score will be the ultimate soundtrack to the 60’s including Cilla’s
greatest hits
Anyone Who Had a Heart, Alfie and Something Tells Me, alongside a backdrop of the legendary “Liverpool
Sound” including the Beatles’ Twist and
Shout, and American influences like California
Dreamin by The Mamas and The Papas
and many more.
The
producers of Cilla The Musical will
hold national open auditions in the
hunt to discover their ‘Cilla’ in the same way the star herself was plucked
from obscurity before becoming the iconic Liverpudlian songbird.
