"Former Coronation Street star Kevin Kennedy has promised that the team behind the soap&amp;#039;s new musical project are planning &amp;quot;big surprises&amp;quot; for fans. As announced last month, Kennedy is reprising his role as Curly Watts for live stage show Street of Dreams, which has its premiere at Manchester&amp;#039;s M.E.N. Arena later this year. Bill Roache (Ken Barlow), Katy Cavanagh (Julie Carp), Julie Goodyear (Bet Lynch) and Brian Capron (Richard Hillman) have also signed up, while Paul O&amp;#039;Grady will be hosting. Kennedy told the Manchester Evening News: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s big, it&amp;#039;s spectacular - that&amp;#039;s why it&amp;#039;s got to be in an arena setting. It&amp;#039;s just a beautiful piece of work and very complimentary to what Coronation Street is all about.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s going to be a myriad of big surprises,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;This hasn&amp;#039;t just been flung together - it has been thought about and planned for years. I can guarantee you it will be quite, quite spectacular.&amp;quot; Kennedy added that he would love to make a Coronation Street comeback once he has finished work on Street of Dreams. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s no secret that I would love to come back to the Street, and it will probably happen at some point,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m lucky that fans seem to really like the character. But I&amp;#039;m just happy for now to be involved in this world premiere and bringing Curly back to Manchester.&amp;quot; Street of Dreams opens in March. &amp;gt; Coronation Street live musical stage show announced &amp;gt; Coronation Street musical is brilliant, says Paul O&amp;#039;Grady &amp;gt; Coronation Street musical is a ten-star show, says Julie Goodyear &amp;gt; Read the latest Coronation Street news and spoilers Watch a promo for Coronation Street&amp;#039;s Street of Dreams musical below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
