Entertainer Tommy Steele is to star as Glenn Miller in a new musical which is being directed and produced by Bill Kenwright. The Glenn Miller Story will be choreographed by Bill Deamer.with further cast and creatives yet to be announced.
The production will feature a 16 piece bandand tour the UK from next summer before a planned run in the West End . The show will explore the “life, fame and vanishing” of Miller, who disappeared on a flight over the English Channel when he was on his way to entertain troops during the Second World War.:Bill Kenwright said “When I was a youngster it was always Elvis and Tommy Steele for me. Nothing much has changed since then. When I found out that Glenn Miller means to Tommy what Elvis did for me in those early years, I was determined to talk him into starring in a musical that would depict the story of the legendary musician’s life.“More than anything we want this to be a great night out – what we both call one of those ‘Palladium’ musicals – great acting, singing, dancing, choreography, music and lights.”
