Allegra
Allegra is full of life, joy and an irresistible urge to sing. She bursts into song at home, in the street and even in the local shops and cafés. Sometimes the orchestra plays only in her imagination. Sometimes it spills gloriously into the real world, much to the delight, confusion and occasional horror of everyone around her. Her devoted brother Ronen (John Middleton of Emmerdale) and her carer Anna (Elizabeth Bower of Midsomer Murders) do their best to keep life steady, but how do you protect someone you love without dimming the light that makes them who they are?
Star of stage and screen, Dame Maureen Lipman takes centre stage as Allegra, beloved by millions for her role in Coronation Street and celebrated for her extraordinary career, in her eagerly anticipated first UK tour for 20 years.
Packed full of heart, humour and full iconic musical numbers performed by an extraordinary cast, including Singin’ in the Rain, Ain’t No Sunshine, Dream A Little Dream Of Me and Happy Days Are Here Again, Allegra is a tender, hilarious and life affirming story about family, love and holding on to joy for as long as possible.
