Birmingham Repertory Theatre, West Yorkshire Playhouse

A thrilling new production of Jim Cartwright’s much-loved, Olivier Award-winning play about the painfully shy but hugely talented Little Voice and her faultless impersonations of the greatest divas.

Little Voice spends day after day alone in her bedroom finding escape in the records that were left behind after the death of her father. The extraordinary voices of Judy Garland, Billie Holiday and Marilyn Monroe fill the rooms and Little Voice is transported. As her blowsy mother Mari shrieks and shouts her way around the house, Little Voice hears the musical heroines, and matching them note for note, sings... and her world is transformed.

When local talent agent Ray Say, Mari's latest boyfriend, overhears he sees a way out of this town; this is his chance for the high-life, his road to the showbiz big-time. All he has to do is find a way to take Little Voice with him.

Persuaded by the tacky talent scout, pushed by an overbearing mother, a nervous Little Voice blasts out Bassey - but will she have the courage to find her own voice...?

Directed by James Brining, Artistic Director of West Yorkshire Playhouse, and starring Vicky Entwistle, Chris Gascoyne and Nancy Sullivan.
