One of St Helens’ most successful stage shows has inspired a sequel which will premiere later in the year.
The Salon – The Sequel! was written by Drew Quayle and will star queen of the airways Leanne Campbell, both reprising their roles in the production of the new show following involvement in the original.
The follow-up to Salon, one of St Helens Theatre Royal’s most successful shows, was announced by Regal Entertainment, and will premiere at the aforementioned venue from Thursday October 3 to Sunday October 13 for a limited run of just 13 performances.
The Salon was a hugely popular production which originally played at St Helens Theatre Royal in 2009. It went on to play again 2011 and 2017 – it also transferred over to Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre in 2018.
The first of the cast to be announced is radio and stage star Leanne Campbell. Leanne reprises her role as Carol, manager at The Salon. Leanne has played the role of Carol in every mounting of the production and has made the role very much her own.
Leanne said: “I had so much fun performing in the original versions of The Salon, and I am really excited to be returning to St Helens, this time in person, following my digital appearance in Panto, in this hilarious brand-new sequel, it’s even funnier than the first.
“If you loved it before, come back and find out what mishaps happen next and if it’s your first time, come and join in the fun and have a brilliant night out.”
The Salon – The Sequel! has been created to work as a standalone show, which means you don’t need to have seen the first show to fully enjoy and follow the story.
Drew Quayle added: “I’m delighted to be returning to the Theatre Royal St Helens and their wonderful team, the place where it all began, and the perfect venue for the debut of the sequel to The Salon.”
