Lily Allen to Star in West End Play
Posted by Adam
Lily Allen is set to make her stage debut in a West End play.
The Smile singer admitted she’s sick of music as she rounded off the festival season at Bestival on Saturday.
“I’m not going to record and tour again for quite a while,” she said. “I finish up my gig dates in March and I’ll be ready to do something else.
“I’ve been on the road for four years and I’ve given my voice a real run for its money.
“I’m struggling, so I’m going to try something new.”
Lily has landed the lead role in Neil LaBute play Reasons To Be Pretty, which is the sequel to hit shows The Shape Of Things and Fat Pig.
“The play is about themes close to my heart, things I touch on in my track The Fear, about the really damaging cult of beauty among young girls,” Lily added.
“They want me to play the lead, which is amazing and terrifying.
“There’s a lady from RADA coming round to my house to train me up a bit. I’m always up for a new challenge.”
