A TRIO of former pop stars brought a high-energy production to the region last night.

New musical Love Shack, starring Faye Tozer, of Steps, S Club's Jon Lee and ex-Hear'Say singer Noel Sullivan, opened at Darlington Civic Theatre. It runs until Saturday.

The show tells the story of Sam and Joanne, a couple about to be married, heading off on their hen and stag nights.

It features songs such as It's Raining Men, (I've Had) The Time of My Life and Don't Go Breaking My Heart.

Tickets cost from £20 to £26.50 and are available from the box office on (01325) 486555.
