THEATRE Severn has announced that soap star and Dancing On Ice finalist Roxanne Pallett will lead the cast when Rock Around The Clock comes to Shrewsbury in late August.
Best known for playing Jo Stiles in Emmerdale, a role which made her one of the nation’s best-loved soap stars, Roxanne has showcased her vocal talent on ITV’s ‘Soapstar Superstar’ and was a winner of ‘Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes’, singing as Gloria Estefan.
After starring memorably on ITV1’s ‘Dancing on Ice’, she also accompanied Torvill and Dean on their 25th anniversary ‘Bolero Tour’.
Rock Around The Clock sees her join a phenomenal cast of singers, dancers and musicians to perform a non-stop hit parade of Rock and Roll classics. The show is an American jukebox of 50s favourites including ‘Great Balls Of Fire’, ‘Good Golly Miss Molly’ and ‘Johnny B. Goode’, which will take the audience back to the time of Teddy Boys, quiffs, Brylcreem, poodle skirts and blue suede shoes.
Theatre Severn’s marketing manager, Jackson Cummings said: “Roxanne is a fantastic performer and an exciting addition to the cast. Rock Around The Clock is sure to bring a real party atmosphere to Theatre Severn”

Tickets can be booked through the Box Office at Theatre Severn (01743 281281) or at the Old Market Hall in The Square, Shrewsbury or online at www.theatresevern.co.uk, where you can choose and book seats.
