Blackpool Emmerdale star shares shocking video with co-star ahead of Bank of Dave The Musical
Fifteen inches in height between them, but Bank of Dave stars are relishing uniting on stage
Blackpool star Hayley Tamaddon has released a fun video ahead of starring in the world premiere of Bank of Dave The Musical in the North West next month.
The former Emmerdale actress plays Nicky, wife of Dave Fishwick, the businessman from Burnley who created a bank of his own to help out his local community.
Dave, whose real life story has already been the subject of two films, is portrayed in the stage version by Sam Lupton. Also featuring in the cast is Zachary Willis in the dual roles of Andy and Danny.
Zachary is 6ft 5in, while Hayley measures just 5ft 2in but the pair didn’t let the height difference get in the way as they took a break from rehearsals for an impromptu dance.
Written by WhatsOnStage Award winner Rob Madge, with music by Pippa Cleary (The Great British Bake Off Musical), and lyrics by the duo, it is based on the real-life story of self-made Burnley businessman Dave Fishwick.
