Dorothy Finalist Robinson to Appear in SMOKEY JOES CAFE, 8/20-22

"Over The Rainbow" contestant Jessica Robinson will take over from fellow Dorothy Stephanie Fearon in "Smokey Joe's Cafe" for just three nights from the 20th to 22nd of August to allow Stephanie to have an operation on her wrist.

The self-proclaimed "wacky" Dorothy, Jessica Robinson, 18, from Middlesbrough just missed out on a semi final place despite an energetic, umbrella-wielding performance of the tongue-twisting classic 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. Voting her off in the sing-off, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber  said: 'I say this with the heaviest heart in the entire world, Jessica you are so wonderful and quirky, you're a real star in the making.'
