Claire Sweeney stars in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s masterpiece of musical theatre, TELL ME ON A SUNDAY. Opening at the Royal & Derngate Theatre, Northampton on Monday 30th August 2010, TELL ME ON A SUNDAY then embarks on a major national tour (National Press Night: Thursday 2nd September).

Originally conceived for television starring Marti Webb, TELL ME ON A SUNDAY has been performed by legendary musical theatre stars Elaine Paige, Sarah Brightman and Denise Van Outen. Now Claire Sweeney takes on this celebrated role which features a wonderful score and the chart-topping hit 'Take That Look Off Your Face', 'Unexpected Song' and the title track 'Tell Me on a Sunday'.

This production has been remodelled for Claire by the masters of musical theatre, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black, with an exclusive new song 'I Still Believe in Love' - this is the definitive version of the classic musical for 2010.

TELL ME ON A SUNDAY charts the romantic misadventures of a young English girl newly arrived in New York. Brimming with optimism, she seeks success, companionship and, of course, love. But as she weaves her way through the maze of the city and her own anxieties, frustrations and heartaches she begins to wonder whether - in fact - she's been looking for love in all the wrong places.

CLAIRE SWEENEY is one of the UK’s best-loved personalities with a string of credits to her name on stage and screen, in a career which takes her from Prime Time Saturday Night Television to star roles in London’s West End Theatre.

Television programmes include Brookside, 60 Minute Makeover, Loose Women, My Big Fat Diet and Challenge of a Lifetime. West End roles include Roxie Hart in Chicago and Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls.

ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’s numerous awards include 7 Tonys, 3 Grammys, 7 Olivier’s, a Golden Globe, an Oscar, 2 Emmys and the Richard Rodgers Award for Excellence in Musical Theatre. Don Black is an Oscar winning lyrist (Born Free) and penned numerous James Bond theme tunes as well as chart hits Michael Jackson’s Ben and Lulu’s ‘To Sir With Love’.
