West End stars headline Kirklees concert

Jun 17 2009 Huddersfield Daily Examiner

TALENTED stars from the West End are coming to Kirklees.

The sell-out musical theatre show Beyond the Barricade will be performed at the free Songs in the Park event in Crow Nest Park, Dewsbury on Saturday, August 22.

The show has been added as a special date of the Beyond the Barricade’s 10th anniversary tour which is visiting prestigious venues around the UK. Songs in the Park will feature numbers from the world’s most popular musicals, including Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King and Les Miserables, bringing a modern twist to previous years’ Saturday night concerts which have hosted a more traditional classical Prom.

Beyond the Barricade has been performed throughout the UK and Europe for the past decade, but this is the only tour date in West Yorkshire this year.

It’s a great free evening for families, after the success of last year’s classical concert in Greenhead Park.

The weekend event will also feature Party In The Park, with top pop acts and those are expected to be confirmed within weeks.
