It’s just been announced that Steps’ Lee Latchford-Evans will now be joining the cast of the smash & Juliet on its current tour of the UK & Ireland. Steps are the UK’s most successful mixed gender pop group of all time along with being one of Britain’s queerest and camp bands ever. Taking on the role of Lance at select performances, Lee will be alternating across the country with Ranj Singh.

The musical has been a huge success in London’s West End putting a new spin on the classic Romeo & Juliet story, accompanied by some of the biggest songs of the Pop Mastermind Max Martin. The tour will see the cast travel across the UK & Ireland from January through to June. Tickets are onsale now via www.andjulietthemusical.co.uk

Last month we spoke with Jordan Broatch, who plays May in the show, who said, ‘The show is brilliant at allowing everyone to see themselves on stage, and also at educating people who may not know what certain things such as non-binary are and to show them that it’s not a ‘scary’ thing, we’re all just people living our lives.’
