Fans turned out to show their support to home-grown star of the screen and stage Samantha Barks.
Her sell-out homecoming concert at the Gaiety Theatre on Saturday evening saw her showcasing the immense power and range of her voice for which she has become famous.
Earlier that day, fans queued up outside HMV in Strand Street to get a selfie with the 25-year-old along with a signed copy of her solo album, which was released on Friday.
After her performance, Sam also took the time to meet members of the audience, again signing copies of her eponymous album.
In a video message posted on Twitter on Saturday, she thanked her island supporters for their loyal backing saying: ‘I am so excited to be coming home to the Isle of Man.
‘Thank you so much to everyone who is going to come down and see me perform.’
The Gaiety concert was the second date on Sam’s 13-venue tour of the British Isles to promote the album.
It started at Theatre Royal in Norwich last week and will see her performing at locations including London’s Shoreditch town hall and Leeds City Varieties.
The album features 12 tracks such as Troublemaker, On My Own and As Long As He Needs Me.
The final track, as a nod to her Manx roots, is Ellan Vannin.
Sam first came to the public’s attention as a contestant in the 2008 BBC reality singing competition I’d Do Anything.
Her portrayal of Eponine in Hollywood blockbuster Les Misérables earned her an international reputation.
She also has lauded touring productions of Oliver! and Cabaret under her belt.
And she won acclaim on the US stage for her performance in the title role in the world premiere of musical Amélie at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, in California.
