The production opens at the Manchester Opera House on Friday 5th June 2015. Paris released her debut album So Good in 1988 whilst her theatre credits include The Vagina Monologues and Sweet Lorraine.
Producer Adam Spiegel said: "I'm a huge fan of Mica Paris and as soon as I heard her audition I knew she was perfect for the role of Sylvia. Her incredible, powerful voice and presence does true justice to the greatest hits of the one and only King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley."
The show premiered on Broadway in 2005 under the title All Shook Up. However, the "romantic musical comedy" has been retitled Love Me Tender for its UK premiere. The show is inspired by and features the music of Elvis Presley.
Love Me Tender is Written by Tony Award Winner Joe DiPietro (Memphis) and Directed and Choreographed by Olivier Award Winner Karen Bruce (Saturday Night Fever, Dance ’Til Dawn, Pacific Overtures) with Set Design by award nominated Morgan Large (Flashdance, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof), Lighting Design by James Whiteside (Never Forget, Footloose) Costume Design by Vicky Gill (Dance ‘Til Dawn, Strictly Come Dancing) and Casting by James Orange (The Producers, Sweeney Todd).
Further casting is yet to be announced.
