As well as the famous Unchained Melody track which features in the film’s iconic pottery wheel scene, the musical features music by Sunderland’s Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame and Glenn Ballad.

The current tour stars Niall Sheehy as Sam, Rebekah Lowings as Molly and Jacqui DuBois as Oda Mae Brown.

Speaking about what appealed to them about the roles, Rebekah said: “When I first saw the show it took my breath away. The storyline is iconic. The songs are just stunning, the orchestration is beautiful.”

Niall added: “It’s so full of heart and it deals with loss, which is a really important issue. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a job or anything important, it resonates with us as actors and as audience members.”
