Rufus Hound and Roberta Taylor are to star in Dusty, the Dusty Springfield musical.

They join Katherine Kingsley, previously announced in the title role at The Lowry in Salford from June 24 to 29.

With a script from BAFTA- and Olivier-nominated writer Jonathan Harvey (Beautiful Thing, Coronation Street), Dusty is directed by Olivier Award-winner Maria Friedman (Merrily We Roll Along, Stepping Out) and features many of the singer’s soulful pop hits, including "I Only Want to Be with You", "Son of a Preacher Man" and "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me".

The show 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.
