TOM is the title of a new musical in Bradford showcasing the story of legendary singer Tom Jones.

Subtitled A Story Of Tom Jones, the show at the Alhambra Theatre from April 19-23 portrays the entertainer’s rise to fame.

Audience are invited to step back in time to the dance halls, working men’s clubs and recording studios of the 60s where the legend of Tom Jones was born.

He was a boy from the Welsh valleys with a heart-stopping voice who dreamed of making the big time, no matter what it took.

This inspirational story of self-belief and determination is performed live on stage by a cast of actors and musicians, celebrating an ordinary man with an extraordinary talent who became a superstar on a world stage.

The show stars West End performer Kit Orton as a young Tom Jones and features hits of the era including Ghost Riders In The Sky, Spanish Harlem and Lucille, tracking Tom’s climb to stardom.

It ends with some the hits that made him one of the most charismatic stars of the day, like It’s Not Unusual, Delilah, Green, Green Grass Of Home and What’s New Pussycat.

Director Geinor Styles said: “Just very occasionally an opportunity comes along that has the words ’perfect fit’ written all the way through it like a stick of rock.

“In this case it’s rock and roll and the compelling story of the early days of this county’s most famous son – the living legend that is Sir Tom Jones.”
