Mills, who worked with Hastie in Hamlet at the National Theatre, said she “can’t wait” to reunite with the director.<\/p>\n
“My first show I ever did at the National was in the Dorfman Theatre so to be returning to that beautiful space over Christmas followed by a tour around England \u2013 I’m truly over the moon,” she added.<\/p>\n
The production is said to be a “joyful, tender and bittersweet celebration of music, ambition and the courage it takes to be heard”.<\/p>\n
It will feature music from the likes of Judy Garland and Dame Shirley Bassey.<\/p>\n
Halfpenny said she was “so excited” to play Mari Hoff in the “beloved Northern play”.<\/p>\n
She added: “I have long admired Jim’s work and to get the opportunity to play this role at the National Theatre and at theatres across England this winter is very special.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mills, who worked with Hastie in Hamlet at the National Theatre, said she “can’t wait” to reunite with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581986,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-581985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
