Pixie Lott stars in Breakfast At Tiffany’s on 4^th-9^th April. It will be very interesting to see popstar Pixie perform as her voice is truly stunning. It will also be amazing to see Alexandra Burke star in The Bodyguard on 10^th-21^st May.

Other musicals include Guys and Dolls on 24^th-28^th May – who’s humming along to Luck be a Lady? Sister Act (22^nd-27^th August) has been directed by Craig Revel Horwood, so will surely also be a spectacular show.

A slightly more intense yet just as captivating musical, Blood Brothers, will come to Leeds on 28^th March – 2^nd April.
