Musical by Richard Stirling that tells the story of Britain's first international film star.

In the 1920s and '30s Jessie Matthews high-kicked her way out of the back streets of Soho onto the cinema screens of the world in films like Evergreen and It's Love Again. Later, she became a household name all over again in the famous radio series Mrs Dale's Diary. But behind the glamour, her ghosts never ceased to haunt her.

Anne Rodgers stars as 'Jessie Matthews'. Anne is the original star of The Boy Friend and performed in the first ever USA tour of My Fair Lady. Young Jessie is played by Jo Gibb, who has performed in Chicago, and returns to Over My Shoulder following her performances in The Rat Pack.

Over My Shoulder features all of Jessie's best-loved hits: Dancing on the Ceiling, Let's Do It, Gangway and, ofcourse, Over My Shoulder
