For the first time, the songs of Dolly Parton have been brought together in a joyful new musical. Here You Come Again is at The Lowry, Salford Quays next week as part of its first UK tour. It tells the story of Kevin, recently dumped and in quarantine is his childhood home.
Surrounded by precious belongings from his youth, he is reunited with a much-loved old record player and his cherished Dolly albums and turns to them to get him through the hard times.

I think every audience member, no matter who they are, will find something very relatable in the character of Kevin (brilliantly portrayed by Stevie Webb).

I’ve always loved Dolly and been able to sing like her.
