A local theatre will be hosting West End and TV greats in a new show.
The Little Theatre - which is in Leicester in Leicestershire - will be showing 'The Great American Songbook' which stars Glyn Kerslake and Elaine Glover.
Glyn has stared in many West End musicals, such as The Phantom of the Opera.
His wife, Elaine, starred as Katie Jones in the hit TV show Footballer's Wives.
The show will feature the songs of Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and George Gershwin.
Glyn and Elaine have created it in collaboration with former radio presenter John Florance and his wife, Jennifer.
'The Great American Songbook' will be hosted by John and feature classics such as 'Cheek to Cheek' and 'Someone To Watch Over Me'.
John said: "All of us love these songs and it's a thrill to be presenting them live on stage.
"Glyn and Elaine have fabulous voices just right for this sort of melodic and sophisticated music."
The show will take place on Friday, March 25.
It will then go on tour in small venues all over Nottinghamshire and the midlands.
Elaine said: "I’m probably best known as an actor, but there’s nothing I love more than singing with Glyn.
"Our voices complement each other so well."
Glyn said: "There is nothing like the sense of performing well-known songs that communicate and lift an audience."
