The Watermill Theatre production opens at Malvern Festival Theatre on 15 June 2021
Jodie Prenger is set to reprise the role of Emma in a UK national tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s classic musical Tell Me On A Sunday. This iconic musical features Andrew Lloyd Webber’s wonderful score, accompanied live by West End musicians, including the chart-topping Take That Look Off Your Face, and title track Tell Me On A Sunday.
The show 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.
“Tell Me On A Sunday, with its cast of just one actress, is probably the most naturally socially distanced musical in the world! We are delighted that Jodie Prenger is able to return to this role to reprise her incredible performance.”
Jamie Wilson, Producer
Originally conceived for television, Tell Me On A Sunday has been performed by many legendary musical theatre stars including Marti Webb, Bernadette Peters and Sarah Brightman. This new production for 2021, directed by Paul Foster, will include an intimate chat with Jodie and Musical Director Francis Goodhand about life, love and playing the role of Emma.
Jodie Prenger most recently starred in the National Theatre’s West End production of A Taste of Honey. Recent theatre work includes the national tours of Abigail’s Party, Shirley Valentine, Annie, Fat Friends The Musical, Tell Me On A Sunday and Calamity Jane.
