By Matthew Pells

The Legendary Dionne Warwick will be rehearsing her brand-new show ‘Don't Make Me Over’ in Scarborough later this year.

The six time Grammy award winner will perform a special one-off preview concert at the Grand Hall on Saturday 4th May before embarking on her UK tour.

This will be the very first time that Dionne will perform her brand-new show in front of a live audience. Taking excerpts from her critically acclaimed Documentary ‘Don't Make Me Over’, her new show of the same name will take you on a musical journey from her humble beginnings as a gospel singer in New Jersey, USA to superstardom making her one of the most recognisable and successful female voices of our time.

A recent recipient of a Kennedy Center Honour, Dionne Warwick said:

“I’m so thrilled to be coming back to the UK and bringing a brand-new show to my fans.  I’ll be sharing stories & personal anecdotes from my life along with footage from my recent documentary, ‘Don’t Make Me Over.’ And of course, I’ll be singing some of my favourite songs from my career.”

The UK tour will preview at Scarborough Spa, Grand Hall on Saturday 4th May before heading to  Gateshead on Sunday 5th May 2024 and then travel across the UK visiting Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, Salford, Bristol, Southend, and the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Tuesday 14th May 2024.

The evening will feature live performance of many of hits and a salute to her unimpeachable catalogue of music including a selection of classic Warwick/Burt Bacharach/Hal David songs such as ‘I Say A Little Prayer’, ‘Do You Know The Way To San Jose’ and ‘Walk On By.’

Dionne will be joined on stage with interviewer Dave Wooley, her band plus a multimedia set up with screen which will show highlights from Dionne’s Award-Winning documentary ‘Don’t Make Me Over’ by Dave Wooley.
