LOUISE Redknapp is joining the cast of hit musical Cabaret as it returns to the Grand Theatre in Leeds.

Internationally renowned singer/songwriter Will Young will reprise his Olivier Award-nominated performance as the enigmatic Emcee alongside musician and presenter Louise.

The former chart pop singer, and Strictly Come Dancing contestant, makes her stage debut as Sally Bowles in the multi-award winning production.

Cabaret boasts show-stopping choreography, dazzling costumes and some of the most iconic songs in musical theatre including Money Makes The World Go Round, Two Ladies, Maybe This Time and the title song.

The production turns Weimar Berlin of 1931 into a sassy, sizzling haven of decadence, and at its dark heart is the legendary and notorious Emcee, who performs nightly at the infamous Kit Kat Klub.

Since its Broadway premiere in 1966 - and the famous movie version with Liza Minnelli and Oscar winner Joel Grey - Cabaret has won a large number of stage and screen awards including eight Oscars, seven BAFTAs and 13 Tonys.

Louise Redknapp rose to fame as a member of the girl group Eternal. She left the band to carve out a successful solo career, and last year was a runner-up in BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Cabaret is at Leeds Grand Theatre from October 24 to 28.
