News Release

Star-studded West End show comes to Maidstone

Loose Woman, Brookside actress and West End theatre star Claire Sweeney will be the leading lady when a Broadway hit comes to Maidstone’s Hazlitt Theatre.

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s West End and Broadway Hit Tell Me on a Sunday will be coming to the Earl Street theatre on Saturday, September 11, with two performances, one at 5pm and another at 8pm.

The show, which is on a major national tour, was originally developed for television starring Marti Webb, but Tell Me on a Sunday has been performed by legendary musical theatre stars Sarah Brightman, Denise Van Outen and Lulu. 

Now Claire Sweeney takes on this celebrated role which features a wonderful score and the chart-topping hit Take That Look off your Face, Unexpected Song and the title track Tell Me on a Sunday.

This production has been remodelled for Claire by the masters of musical theatre, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black, with an exclusive new song I Still Believe in Love - this is the definitive version of the classic musical for 2010.

Tell Me on a Sunday charts the romantic misadventures of a young English girl newly arrived in New York. Brimming with optimism, she seeks success, companionship and, of course, love. But as she weaves her way through the maze of the city and her own anxieties, frustrations and heartaches she begins to wonder whether she's been looking for love in all the wrong places.

Claire Sweeney is one of the UK’s best-loved personalities with a string of credits to her name on stage and screen, in a career which takes her from Prime Time Saturday night TV to star roles in London’s West End theatres. Claire Sweeney has starred in Brookside, 60-Minute Makeover, Loose Women, My Big Fat Diet and Challenge of a Lifetime, as well as West End roles including Roxie Hart in Chicago and Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls.
