Dusty, the new musical about the life of Dusty Springfield, will play at The Lowry from July 24 to 28.
It features many of the singer’s soulful pop hits, and draws on the memories of her close friend, manager and authorised biographer Vicki Wickham, her lifelong personal assistant Pat Rhodes and friend and record company executive Tris Penna.
In the title role will be Katherine Kingsley (Piaf, Singin’ in the Rain), actor, comedian and presenter Rufus Hound (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Wind in the Willows) will play Dusty’s manager Billings and Roberta Taylor (The Bill, EastEnders) takes on the role of Dusty’s mother Kay.
