Kylie Minogue 'to appear' in 'I Should Be So Lucky: The Stock, Aitken, Waterman Musical' in Manchester

Kylie Minogue is ‘to appear’ in a major new musical coming to Manchester.

I Should Be So Lucky: The Stock, Aitken, Waterman Musical, opens at the Manchester Opera house on November 2 before embarking on a UK tour.

Announcing the full cast on Tuesday, it was revealed the Aussie star would “digitally appear throughout the show as a specially created character unique to the musical”.

Using the amazing Stock, Aitken, Waterman back catalogue - including hits from Minogue, Rick Astley, Jason Donovan and Bananarama - the musical follows Ella and Nathan, a young couple, hopelessly in love and about to take the biggest step of their lives – marriage. Until it doesn’t go quite to plan. Will they be together forever, or will he make her cry and say goodbye? The show is written and directed by Debbie Isitt of the hit NATIVITY! Franchise.

Minogue said: “I’m thrilled to announce that I will be joining Stock Aitken Waterman in presenting the new musical, 'I Should Be So Lucky'! It is the music that inspired a generation (plus my first five albums!) so to have all the SAW hits in this original story will make for a compelling, funny and heartfelt show. Let’s enjoy the magic all over again!”

Stock, Aitken, Waterman said: "To see our songs take on a new life in the world of musical theatre and working on a collaboration with Debbie Isitt and her talented team is so exciting and very special."
