The spectacular show will embark on a UK tour this autumn, enjoying a weeklong stay at Milton Keynes Theatre from Tuesday 31 October to Saturday 4 November.

Ever since winning the inaugural series of Pop Idol in 2001, Will Younghas been one of the UK’s most popular and successful music artists.

Louise Redknapp rose to fame as a member of the girl group Eternal. She left the band to carve out a successful solo career achieving an impressive twelve Top 20 singles, including the hits Naked and Stuck in the Middle and selling more than five million records with five albums.
