The Menier Chocolate Factory will stage the UK premiere of What's It All About? Bacharach Reimagined this Summer.

Conceived by David Lane Seltzer and singer Kyle Riabko, who also stars, the show pays tribute to the songwriter in a "dynamic 90-minute non-stop musical journey".

The production, which is directed by Steven Hoggett, premiered in 2013 at New York Theatre Workshop, where it became the venue's longest running show.

The score features a plethora of Bacharach hits, including "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", "Alfie", "I Say a Little Prayer", "Close to You", "The Look of Love" and "Magic Moments".

What's It All About? Bacharach Reimagined opens at the Menier Chocolate Factory on 15 July 2015 (previews from 3 July), and runs until 5 September.

Tickets go on sale on 22 April at 9am.
