The production is produced by the John Godber Company and comes on the back of its very successful national tour of Sunny Side Up.

Harrogate actress Millie Gaston, and Wakefield’s George Reid appear in this account of two lost souls who meet in a vintage vinyl store.

Their passion for all things retro takes them to places they could have never dreamed of.

This quirky love story will remind us that life can be wonderful, but to be careful what we wish for!

Double-BAFTA winner Godber said: “I’ve really enjoyed working with Elizabeth on this funny, touching new musical. Her characters are unique and fresh, and the songs are catchy and the singing is amazing.”

Elizabeth, who has written several musicals in her own right, said: “Ruby is such a feel good show, I’m sure people of all ages will enjoy a good night out; it’s kind of a love story, but not...”

Ruby Macintosh is an accomplished singer/songwriter from Wakefield, who had several mentoring sessions from Sir Paul McCartney when she was a student at LIPA.
