Manchester is to get another world premiere production - with the announcement that a new Stock Aitken and Waterman musical will start its run here in the city. I Should Be So Lucky will premiere at Manchester Opera House in November before heading out on a UK tour.
The music producer trio of Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman were behind some of the biggest pop hits of the 1980s and 90s. They launched the music careers of the likes of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Rick Astley.
Their smash hits include Kylie's I Should Be So Lucky, Jason's Too Many Broken Hearts and Rick's Never Gonna Give You Up. Fans can expect many of the songs from the Hit Factory (as they became known) to appear in the brand new jukebox musical.
