Stars including Abi Titmuss and Lisa Riley are returning to a Kettering theatre after helping raise more than £3,000 for a county charity with the premiere of their show.
Before starting on the national tour of The Naked Truth, The Lighthouse theatre hosted the first showing of the play, which stars Lisa Riley, Julie Buckfield, Trudi Goodwin from The Bill, Emily Aston, Lorraine Hodgson and Abi Titmuss.
The play - which is set in a pole dancing class and brings together a group of women who conquer pole dancing for an event to raise awareness and money for breast cancer – received a standing ovation on its first outing.
It also helped raise £3,669 for the Crazy Hats breast cancer appeal, which raises money to improve breast cancer care at Kettering and Northampton general hospitals.
The cash came from takings on the night, a raffle and sales of Crazy Hats merchandise.
The show is now set to return to the Kettering theatre from Thursday, April 9, to Saturday, April 11, as part of its national tour.
The fundraisers from Crazy Hats will be there again each night with a raffle and an auction of items including a signed Westlife photograph and a variety of hats.
Sue Preston, from Theatre Productions Ltd, which is behind the show, said: "The preview night was a huge success and we have received some great feedback about the show – everyone thoroughly enjoyed a good girly night out and a good laugh, despite the serious side of the show.
"The atmosphere on the night was typically Crazy Hats, with a sea of pink boas and most of the audience knew each other through the charity, which was quite special."
She said many people had contacted them to say they would be telling their friends to go when the show returned to Kettering, but added there were still tickets available.
Tickets cost £15 on April 9 and £17.50 on April 10 and April 11, with £16 concessions available.
The show starts at 7.30pm.
