Tony Christie to join Dreamboats and Petticoats cast
Dreamboats and Petticoats will welcome Tony Christie to its West End cast next month.
Friday, 25 June 2010
Veteran crooner Tony Christie is set to make his West End debut by appearing in Dreamboats and Petticoats at the Playhouse Theatre this summer.
According to a report from Official London Theatre, the singer will join the cast of the popular 1960s jukebox musical from July 5th.
Fans of Christie - known for hits such as Is This the Way to Amarillo and Avenues and Alleyways - will no doubt be booking London theatre tickets to see him in action.
Explaining his reasons for joining the show, the 67-year-old told the website: "I saw the show's original opening night in London almost a year ago and just loved the story.
"As soon as I saw it I've been searching for a gap in my diary to join."
Dreamboats and Petticoats, which features a host of classic retro hits such as C'Mon Everybody and Let's Twist Again, opened at the Savoy Theatre in 2009 before moving to the Playhouse.
