Eastenders star coming to Leeds Grand Theatre in Cabaret - how to book tickets

Eastenders star John Patridge is coming to Leeds to star in iconic musical Cabaret.

The award-winning show returns to Leeds Grand Theatre in March, with Partridge, best known as Christian Clarke in the BBC One soap, taking the lead as Emcee.

Cabaret's last visit to Leeds saw pop star Will Young take on the coveted role.

The Eastenders favourite, who triumphed in Celebrity Masterchef 2018, has previously starred in West End shows including A Chorus Line, Chicago and La Cage Aux Folles.

He will be joined on stage at the Grand by Kara Lily Hayworth, who won praise for her portrayal of Cilla Black in Cilla the Musical, as Sally Bowles, with screen icon Anita Harris taking the role of Fraulein Schneider.

Cabaret tells the tale of young American writer Cliff Bradshaw and his rollercoaster relationship with cabaret star Sally Bowles, with iconic numbers performed at Kit Kat Club in pre-war Berlin.

The haze of gin and cigarettes offer refuge from the political reality of 1931 Germany - but for how long?

Cabaret is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Tuesday 3 to Saturday 7 March 2020.
