Three broken hearts, one Soho hang-out, and the only man who could ever help them…
Welcome to the Preacher Man, the swinging 1960s Soho joint where the
kids danced the night away to the latest crazes and dared to dream of
love, while the legendary owner, The Preacher Man himself, dispensed
advice to cure the loneliest of hearts.
Only, that was a long time ago and all that remains are the
memories, the stories and the myths. Until now, that is, when three
random strangers, generations apart but all in need of help with their
hopeless love lives, are inexplicably drawn to the site of the original
venue. The Preacher Man is long gone, but his son, with help from the
wonderful Cappuccino Sisters, might just find it in himself to channel
the spirit of The Preacher Man and once more give these three lovesick
strangers the look of love.
Featuring the greatest hits of Dusty Springfield, including The Look Of Love, I Only Want To Be With You, Spooky and of course, the classic Son Of A Preacher Man,
this sparklingly funny and sweetly touching new musical play by
internationally-renowned writer Warner Brown will have you laughing,
crying and singing your heart out to some of the greatest songs ever
written.
Directed and choreographed by Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood, Son of a Preacher Man comes to Theatre Royal Plymouth for one week only.
