SCOTSMAN:

BRITAIN'S Got Talent star Susan Boyle received the homecoming of her dreams last night as she took to the stage of Glasgow's SECC to rapturous applause.

Dressed in a full-length, silver sequined dress, she sang both Memory from the musical Cats and I Dreamed a Dream. She gave an assured performance, receiving standing ovations throughout both songs, and departed the stage blowing kisses to her thousands of fans. Her performance came after a day of doubts over whether she would perform, having already failed to appear at two performances in Manchester on Sunday. But following last night's performance, members of the audience expressed their delight at the show.

Sales of tickets for the long-running musical have increased by 46 per cent since Boyle performed the song in the first round of the talent show.

I Dreamed a Dream is a solo sung by character Fantine in Act 1 in the stage production of the Victor Hugo novel. Boyle's version attracted more hits than any other You Tube clip.

Mark Bower, head of lifestyle products for lastminute.com who discovered the rise said: " There has been a clear knock-on effect from Susan Boyle singing 'I dreamed a dream'.
