What's it all about?

If she can dare to dream so can you.

Join Susan Boyle at the Palace Theatre as I Dreamed a Dream takes you on a musical journey of her life, with Elaine C Smith taking on the lead role. With creative support from the lady herself, her moving underdog story that led to multi-platinum records and sold-out concerts will make you laugh and cry, but most of all dream.

Who's in it?

Leading an outstanding cast and orchestra and taking on the lead role of Susan Boyle is Elaine C Smith, star of the hit West End stage play Calendar Girls, who is best known for playing Mary Doll in Rab C Nesbitt on BBC. But as well as Elaine's superb portrayal, you'll get to hear the lady herself singing, the first opportunity for people to watch this global singing sensation perform in the UK on stage since the Britain's Got Talent tour in 2009.

Other notable names joining Smith include Karen Mann (Sweeney Todd) as Susan's mother Bridie Boyle, Liz Ewing (Les Miserables, Grease, X Factor) as her teacher Mrs Johnstone and Ashleigh Gray (Wicked, Grease) as childhood friend Lorraine Campbell.
