⭐ STEVEN WEBB TO STAR IN UK PREMIERE OF NEW DOLLY PARTON MUSICAL – HERE YOU COME AGAIN ⭐
Further casting has been announced for the UK premiere of new Dolly Parton musical HERE YOU COME AGAIN.
West End star Steven Webb (Book of Mormon), will join the company as Kevin, a 40-year-old, has-been-who-never-was comedian in the new musical, alongside previously announced star and co-writer Tricia Paoluccio, who will reprise her celebrated role as Dolly, following US acclaim.
Steven Webb began his career 30 years ago as the titular character in Sam Mendes’ production of Oliver! (London Palladium). Since then, he has appeared in a wide range of film, television and theatre. He has just finished a long stint starring as Elder McKinley in the West End run of The Book of Mormon. Prior to that he was perhaps best known as Posner in the second casting of The History Boys. He also has many television credits, having previously played roles in the much beloved BBC series Miranda and E4’s The Inbetweeners.
For the first time ever, all of Dolly Parton’s biggest hits are brought together in a rollicking and joyful new musical, fully authorised by Dolly herself. Packed with iconic songs like Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, I Will Always Love You, Here You Come Again and more, this lively and touching new musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose imagined version of international icon Dolly Parton gets him through trying times.
Additional dates have also been confirmed for the previously announced tour, which now includes weeks in Cambridge, Malvern, Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Bath, Blackpool and Liverpool.
HERE YOU COME AGAIN was originally written by multi-Emmy award-winning comedy and songwriter Bruce Vilanch with Gabriel Barre (who also directs) and writer and actor Tricia Paoluccio (who co-writes and stars as Dolly). Acclaimed British TV and theatre writer Jonathan Harvey (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and Coronation Street) provides additional material.
HERE YOU COME AGAIN will open at Leeds Playhouse, playing from 11th May – 8th June 2024, before heading out across the UK.
