Susan Boyle’s life to be immortalised in a musical
June 17th, 2011 - 3:21 pm ICT by IANSLondon, June 17 (IANS) Scottish singer Susan Boyle’s life is set to be immortalised in a musical titled “I Dreamed A Dream”.
“I am happy that the musical is being produced, I never thought my life story would end up on the stage, but a lot has happened in two years and it is a very exciting prospect. I hope everyone enjoys the show and I promise there will be a few surprises along the way,” contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.
The 50-year-old shot to fame with music mogul Simon Cowell’s talent show “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2009. Susan’s character will be portrayed by “Rab C. Nesbitt” actress Elaine C Smith.
Michael Harrison, producer of the musical, claims it will have all the qualities of a real-life “fairytale”.
“She is an inspiring woman and her story is an excellent one to tell - someone with a raw talent who surprises the world and overturns all the odds to make a new life for herself. It’s got all the qualities of a fairytale, but with the added bonus of being absolutely true. I am looking forward to the tour very much,” he said.
The musical will open next year at Newcastle’s Theatre Royal.
