Sheila is best known perhaps as the lead member of the most successful female group of the 1970s, The Three Degrees (hits include ‘Take Good Care of Yourself’, ‘Year of Decision’ and the Kenny Gamble/Leon Huff classic ‘When Will I See You Again’). She will join the cast of 26 including Ben Morris and Jessica Cervi who won the hearts of the nation with their incredible performances in the search for the stars of Fame The Musical. With sets and costumes from the West End, this production will be choreographed by Gary Lloyd (X Factor Live, American Idol Live, Thriller Live), with musical direction by David Hayes and directed by Bryan Flynn.

Fame The Musical is the inspirational story of a diverse group of talented students studying at the New York School of Performing Arts. The show explores issues of prejudice, identity, self-worth, literacy and perseverance. The highs and lows are too much for some, but the kids' determination to find greatness shines through.
