UPDATED: Jodie Prenger to star in 2016 UK tour of Tell Me on a Sunday

Jodie Prenger is set to star in a UK tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s one-woman musical Tell Me on a Sunday in 2016.

The tour opens at the Watermill Theatre on 28th January and is currently booking until 10th April at the Brighton Theatre Royal. Check out full tour dates below.

Directed by Paul Foster, the new 2016 production will include an intimate post-show chat with Prenger about life, love and playing the role of Emma.

But as she weaves her way through the maze of the city and her own anxieties, frustrations and heartaches she begins to wonder whether she's been looking for love in all the wrong places.
