Before rehearsals began, the West End cast of the new British musical Bend It Like Beckham took to the streets of Southall, West London where the musical is set to produce this song from the show.

Natalie Dew plays football crazy Jess with Lauren Samuels as Jules, a player with the Harriers, a local women’s football team, and Jamie Campbell Bower as their coach Joe. Ronni Ancona will play Paula, Jules’s Mum, with Jamal Andréas as Jess’ good friend Tony. Preeya Kalidas plays Pinky, Jess’ sister, with Tony Jayawardena and Natasha Jayetileke as her parents, Mr and Mrs Bhamra.

London previews for Bend It Like Beckham begin on May 15. Tickets are on sale now.
