"Susan Boyle will make a guest appearance in a musical based on her life. The singer will join the cast of I Dreamed A Dream when it embarks on an 11-week tour of the UK next March. Boyle will not be playing herself as that role will be performed by Elaine C Smith, who was announced to be playing Boyle earlier this year.  &amp;quot;I am thrilled to be a part of the musical about my life story and very much looking forward to stepping on stage and performing with the cast,&amp;quot; Boyle said. &amp;quot;It is an honest portrayal of my life and has been a cathartic process to be involved in.&amp;quot; The musical&amp;#039;s producer Michael Harrison explained: &amp;quot;Having Susan join the cast to perform the finale of her musical is amazing for both ourselves and audiences across the UK and Ireland.&amp;quot; Smith, who is currently starring in the West End show Calendar Girls, added: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a lot of pressure to get it accurate and to honour Susan&amp;#039;s life story but to do it in a way that is funny, moving and magical and, as the writers, producers and performers, we&amp;#039;re doing our best to achieve that.&amp;quot; I Dreamed A Dream will focus on the singer&amp;#039;s rise to fame, starting in her hometown of West Lothian and building up to her sensational worldwide success following the airing of her Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent audition. Meanwhile, Boyle is currently preparing to release her third studio album Someone To Watch Over Me in the US on November 1 and the UK on November 7.
