Further casting for the new nationwide tour of Sunset Boulevard has been announced.

The cast of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's classic will include Adam Pearce (Les Miserables), Molly Lynch (Sweeney Todd), Dougie Carter (La Cage Aux Folles) and Carl Sanderson (Cats).

They will join the previously announced cast members; BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing finalist Danny Mac and Ria Jones whose credits include Cats, 42nd Street and Les Mis.

Directed by Nikolai Foster, the tour will open at Curve in Leicester on Saturday 16 September 2017.

Ria Jones performed as Norma for the first time at the London Coliseum last year when she was understudy for Glenn Close and the Hollywood actress fell ill.

Jones was among the performers who helped Lord Lloyd Webber develop Sunset Boulevard at a workshop for the Sydmonton Festival in 1991 but never performed the leading role until last year.

Sunset Boulevard opens at Curve in Leicester on 16 September 2017 and continues to tour from until 2 December 2017.
