The countdown is on to the world premiere of exciting new musical In Dreams, written by Emmy and Golden Globe-winning and Olivier Award-nominated David West Read (Writer and Executive Producer Schitt’s Creek, Author & Juliet), which opens at Leeds Playhouse from 3 July – 5 August.

The rehearsal picture above gives a first glimpse of joyful moments between cast members working to create this uplifting and gutsy musical theatre production directed by multi-award winning Luke Sheppard, featuring music legend Roy Orbison’s most iconic songs including ‘Oh! Pretty Woman’, ‘You Got It’ and, of course, the title track ‘In Dreams’.

This fantastic new show revolves around former lead singer of a country rock band Kenna, played by Broadway and Tony winning actor Lena Hall,  as she reaches a critical moment in her life. She throws a party in a family-run Mexican restaurant to reconnect with old friends, while keeping her deeper motivations a secret. Starring opposite Lena is the West End’s Oliver Tompsett as drummer Ramsey, with whom – as these new images reveal – Kenna shares passionate and loving moments full of energy and laughter.

Outside the rehearsal room, Set Designer Arnulfo Maldonado uses the inspiration of Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead,  to create a vibrant restaurant setting, full of colour, light and neon signs.
