Now that the car park next door to The REP is closed, roads and car parks around The REP get very busy in the evenings, especially when there are big events at the NIA and Symphony Hall. We advise you to check their websites before your visit, and to allow extra time for your journey.

Tammy, the alter-ego of undertaker Sue Graves, has to make a life-changing decision and so enlists the help of her most trusted friends – Judy Garland, Dolly Parton, Billie Holiday, Dusty Springfield and Patsy Cline.

In a choice between love and fame, will she make the right decision or live to regret the path she takes?

Signs Of A Star Shaped Diva takes us on an emotional rollercoaster with stories and songs that have touched a generation of music lovers…but it is Sue’s story that will touch your heart.

Featuring captioned dialogue, signed songs and audio description at every performance, Signs Of A Star Shaped Diva was originally conceived by Graeae’s Artistic Director, Jenny Sealey and stars Caroline Parker.

Robert Gibb from Stratford, East London

Have just been to Theatre Royal Stratford to watch this production. It is simply FANTASTIC, funny, sad, and inspiring. I left feeling fantastically warm inside, I had travelled Tammy's journey with her...and what a GREAT conclusion. I loved the production and highly recommend the show...especially Caroline Parker...What a performance!!!!!!!!

Juliet Kaur Pandaal from Pool Hayes Youth club

I'm the senior youth worker for Pool Hayes and I was wondering whether you still honour the "night less ordinary" tickets? I would like to bring 10 young people + 2 adults (all under 26) to a show. The young people's ages differ from 13-16. Awaiting your reply. Kind regards Juliet

Steph from The REP

Hi Juliet - thank you for your message - we generally only offer 'A Night Less Ordinary' tickets on Friday evenings (and sadly there's no Friday evening performance for this show) however I'm sure there will be a concession which will be of use to you and I have asked my colleague to telephone you on the numebr you've provided, to discuss these with you in full.
