Corrie: The Musical album

Rachel Leskovac, who plays Natasha Blakeman on Coronation Street, has revealed that there's going to be a Corrie: The Musical album. Rachel will be singing a number of tracks on the forthcoming album, including an homage to iconic Rovers landlady Bet Lynch.

The all-singing, all-dancing production of Corrie: The Musical is expected to launch in Manchester before heading to London for a further run. Composer Trisha Ward has been working on the songs.

Rachel said: "Corrie: The Musical isn't happening until next year, but they are recording the album with some Corrie stars and other people to tie in the with 50th. There's a duet with Elsie Tanner, saying He's My Man, so they're fighting over a man. It's all brand new material from the musical. There are quite a few Corrie stars involved," she added.
