Few downs as Carousel hits heights

"...not to mention an opportunity to enjoy the magnificent voice of Lesley Garrett, worth the price of admission alone..."

"...Costumes, lighting and staging – particularly the carousel itself – were impeccable but, without doubt, the highlight of the show was soprano, Lesley Garrett.

Lesley was very sorry to announce that she had to withdraw from last week's performances of 'Carousel' in Manchester.

She is very mindful that many people had come to see her in the show and would like to apologise most sincerely for any disappointment this has caused.
