Merry Christmas from everyone at the Corrie album!

Ho ho ho! it's been an exciting couple of months. After several years' work the musical has finally come together in the form of the album Coronation Street: Rogues, Angels, Heroes and Fools, to heaps of praise from Corrie fans and in the press.

Watch this space in the New Year because we're hoping to have news of the exciting stage musical.

Until then, we'd like to wish you a happy Corrie Christmas!

A message for fans outside the UK

Coronation Street has fans all over the world and we've had lots of queries from people in Canada, Republic of Ireland, New Zealand and elsewhere asking how they can get hold of the album.
 
Coronation Street: Rogues, Angels, Heroes and Fools is being exclusively distributed through Tesco Entertainment and at present is only available in the UK.
