Kay Mellor’s smash stage hit Fat Friends The Musical will make its Irish premiere next May at Dublin’s Bord Gais Energy Theatre.
Starring stage star Lee Mead, former Hollyoaks star Jessica Ellis, and stage and the legendary Les Dennis, the show is based on the hit ITV show Fat Friends.
This time, the foodie friends are put through their Zumba paces at their local slimming club, while Kelly fantasises about fitting into the wedding dress of her dreams.
"I am thrilled with the amazing star cast we have assembled for our second outing of Fat Friends The Musical," says Kay Mellor.
"Lee Mead and Jessica Ellis are fantastic performers and will be wonderful as Kevin and Kelly, and it’s great to be welcoming two iconic actors, Sherrie Hewson and Les Dennis who first worked together 40 years ago and are now reunited on stage."
Fat Friends The Musical will run from Monday May 16 until Saturday May 21.
Meanwhile, it’s been announced that world-renowned singer Russell Watson will play the iconic role of Billy Flynn in the international smash hit musical Chicago, which will razzle and dazzle its way back to Dublin next April.
The show will return to Bord Gáis Energy Theatre next year from April 5-16. Tickets from €21, are on sale now through Ticketmaster.
