Lily Allen West End bound

Singer Lily Allen has said she is to take a break from music to star in a West End show.

Lily Allen is to star in a new play by Neil LaBute after admitting she has become worn down by life on the road. "I'm not going to record and tour again for quite a while. I finish up my gig dates in March and I'll be ready to do something else," Lily told The Sun before admitting she's been offered a role in LaBute's new play - Reasons To Be Pretty - a follow-up of hit shows The Shape Of Things and Fat Pig. "I've been on the road for four years and I've given my voice a real run for its money. I'm struggling, so I'm going to try something new. The play is about themes close to my heart, things I touch on in my track The Fear, about the really damaging cult of beauty among young girls. They want me to play the lead, which is amazing and terrifying. There's a lady from RADA coming round to my house to train me up a bit. I'm always up for a new challenge."
