Claire Sweeney & Wendi Peters in White Christmas at Lowry

Claire Sweeney and Wendi Peters are playing Betty Haynes and Martha Watson in the musical based on the classic 1954 movie White Christmas at the Lowry Theatre in Manchester from 29th November- 5th January.
 
Claire is a seasoned musical theatre performer (Guys & Dolls, Shout, Fosse, Chicago, Tell Me On A Sunday) and television (Brookside, Clocking Off, Loose Women).  She is currently on a UK tour of Educating Rita with Matthew Kelly.

Wendi Peters is probably best known for her role as Cilla Battersby-Brown on Coronation Street but her stage credits include (Follies, The Vagina Monologues, Grumpy Old Women, The Mystery of Edwin Drood).

White Christmas has an ensemble of over thirty accompanied by a 17 piece orchestra. It is full of classic Irving Berlin hits including Blue Skies, How Deep Is The Ocean, Happy Holidays, Sisters and White Christmas.

Casting for the two male leads (played in the movie by Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) has yet to be announced.
