John Barrowman brings Broadway to Nottinghamshire in My Life In Musicals
From the wings of the West End to the bright lights of Broadway, John Barrowman has spent more than three decades commanding stages and screens with his mix of charm and show-stopping vocals.
Now, he is bringing his celebration concert show My Life In Musicals tto theatrical to audiences around the UK.
And the tour includes a date at the Palace Theatre in Newark on May 8.
Over the course of one electrifying evening, audiences are invited to step inside the stories behind his 23 leading roles across the West End and Broadway, relived with warmth, wit, and unapologetic sparkle.
He said: “From descending the staircase in Sunset Boulevard to sailing high in Anything Goes, from the passion and heartbreak of Miss Saigon to the razor-sharp brilliance of Company and the razzle-dazzle of Chicago, my life has been one glorious, glitter-dusted adventure.
"This tour is my love letter to every stage, every song, and every one of you who’ve cheered, cried, laughed and believed right along with me.
"The spotlight may shine on me but the magic, that’s always been ours.
"I can’t wait to bring you my life in musicals”
From La Cage Aux Folles to The Phantom of the Opera and more, Barrowman revisits the productions that defined eras — and in many cases, defined him.
Each number is threaded together with candid anecdotes, quick-fire humour, and moments of genuine reflection that reveal the person behind the showman.
There is laughter, nostalgia and anthems that remind you exactly why Barrowman remains one of musical theatre’s most magnetic leading men.
