A self-confessed Dolly Parton fanatic, Mandy’s calling as an international performer is firmly in her genes – her father was Ronnie Winters, Columbia Records’ famed “yodelling cowboy” who enjoyed many chart hits in the late Fifties and early Sixties. Her mother was one of this country’s leading sopranos. Here in the UK she has performed with the likes of Lonnie Donegan, Des O’Connor and Vince Hill.

The part of Kenny Rogers is played by John Warwick.

The West End performer is a talented operatic tenor who has appeared in many hit stage spectaculars. Highlights of John’s faithfully authentic depiction of the king of country are his renditions of The Gambler, Lucille and Coward of the County.
