BLUE band member Duncan James is to star in the international smash hit musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert on a UK tour that visits Southampton this autumn.

Duncan, pictured above, will play Tick on the tour that comes to the Mayflower Theatre for one week only from Monday, September 14 to Saturday, September 19.

David Ian Productions and the Ambassador Theatre Group are producing this exciting production that is “back by popular demand”.

David Ian said: “I am absolutely thrilled that audiences have demanded more of Priscilla!

"The reaction the show gets at theatres everywhere is like something I’ve never witnessed before – it is truly a party not to be missed. Having Duncan James play Tick is just the icing on the cupcake!”

As one quarter of the pop band Blue, Duncan James has sold over 13 million records, had three number one albums and 40 number one singles worldwide.

His stage credits include playing Warner Huntington III in the West End production of Legally Blonde and Billy Flynn in Chicago.

He was also a finalist on ITV1’s Dancing on Ice.
