I thought I'd start a new thread for this! Francesca will be playing Lucy in the new Barry Manilow musical:

CAN’T SMILE WITHOUT YOU

THE NEW BARRY MANILOW MUSICAL

Bill Kenwright’s brand new musical love story CAN’T SMILE WITHOUT YOU will be produced out of the Churchill theatre Bromley (from 28 August 2008), and then embark on a national tour (starting at the Liverpool Empire on 15th September) prior to the West End.

The story centres around an aspiring young band who, on a visit to New York, come across an opportunity not to be missed - auditions for the latest reality TV show to find the next pop music sensation. When the TV company offers lead singer Tony a chance to appear on the show, the other band members give him their unconditional blessing. But before Tony can realise his dream, he is caught up in a tragic sequence of events which leaves him fighting for his life.

Left with no memory his dreams are all but shattered. His only hope lies in the power of the music he loves and his feelings for a girl he once knew called Mandy…

BOOK by TIM PRAGER
DIRECTED by KEITH STRACHAN and BILL KENWRIGHT
CHOREOGRAPHY by CAROLE TODD

Even though I'm not sure if I'll get to see it ( ) I'm super excited for Fran! She left the competition waaaay too early and it's exciting to see her in a new role! Best of luck to Fran, I'm sure she'll be amazing

The only place I could go to is Manchester, on the 4th.
And that's the same night as Sam!
It's deeply upsetting
But, she's gonna be mint. Well done Fran
