ISLANDS In The Stream is a tribute show to the king and queen of country coming to Bradford next month.

The show dedicated to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers will be at St George’s Hall on March 18.

The show is stacked with million-selling country music hits like Jolene, Ruby, 9 to 5, Lucille, I Will Always Love You and Here You Come Again.

Fans can also hear The Gambler, Coward of the County, Love Is Like A Butterfly and Lady, in a show recreating the “awesome vocals and gentle humour” of Dolly and Kenny’s legendary live spectaculars.

Show producer Michael Taylor said: “Bring-the-house-down performances, a superb score and supreme musicianship tell the story of the simple Smoky Mountains farm girl’s rise to country music’s biggest superstar."

Underlining the cast’s dedication to mastering the sound of the original artistes, the performers and band have recorded an album of original songs in the style of Dolly Parton.

Islands In The Stream even features the lead track from the release, the song slotting in seamlessly between all the million-selling Dolly and Kenny favourites featured in the production’s hit-packed score.

The performance is quite literally tightly stitched together – three of the outfits worn by the night’s female lead are exact replicas of Dolly’s iconic outfits, custom-made for the show.

Michael said: “The star of the show is a master of stage craft. Dolly's unmistakable phrasing is closely reproduced, bringing Miss Parton’s distinctive vocals and loveable personality to life.”

“Both leads revel in Dolly and Kenny’s famed warmth and humour making Islands In The Stream a delightful evening of song and audience interaction."

The performers have played the country icons as far afield as Orkney, the Isle of Wight, Dubai and St Lucia.
