The star takes on the role of The Narrator, with performances beginning Thursday 1 July and playing for a strictly limited season.

Burke’s credits include The Bodyguard, Sister Act, Chess and Chicago, after first rising to fame on The X Factor in 2008. She joins the previously announced Donovan as Pharaoh and Olivier Award-nominee Yarrow as Joseph.
