Deloris van Cartier is a dancing disco diva, who's life has an unexpected twist when she witnesses a murder.

The stars are joined on stage by Gavin and Stacey's Ruth Jones and Birds of a Feather's Lesley Joseph. Academy Award winner Alan Menken is the composer behind the Motown, soul and disco tracks for this show, he is best known for his work in Disney classics such as Hercules, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. The show includes songs such as: "Fabulous Baby", "Spread the Love Around" and "Raise Your Voice".
