Jose said: “After playing the King on Broadway and all over the USA this role has such a special place in my heart, so to be able to tour the beautiful UK and see so many of your incredible cities like Birmingham is really exciting for me.”

Annalene added: “I absolutely love playing Anna – she is a dream role for any actress.
