Marc is still very loved by a whole generation of fans and I really hope this piece will open up some of his greatest hitsto a whole new generation. With a remarkable new cast, including Sue Jenkins, Luke Bailey and Warren Sollars, we are celebrating with this number one national tour. I hope the UK are ready to don their feather boas, rock out in their 70's heels and Get It On!"
