Melanie is thrilled to announce that she is to star as Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers at the West End's Phoenix Theatre! She is due to start rehearsals next month and will make her debut performance on October 26th.
Melanie says: "I'm a great believer in fate and when the opportunity came along to audition for 'Blood Brothers' I couldn't resist. It's such a well-loved show and has always been one of my favourites and the Liverpool connection just adds to the appeal. It's a real honour to be asked to take on the role of Mrs Johnstone especially following in such great footsteps. I love a challenge and I think the discipline of theatre combined with the inspiration of Willy Russell's writing will provide great preparation for my fifth solo album."
