Sunset's Barrowman to Perform Holiday Concert with BBC Orchestra

By Andrew Gans
12 Jun 2006

John Barrowman, the U.K. stage star who has also performed on Broadway in Sunset Boulevard and Putting It Together, will perform a holiday concert in London in December.

On Dec. 18, Barrowman will perform at Queen Elizabeth Hall at 7:30 PM. Backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra under the direction of Michael Reed, the singing actor is expected to perform a mix of his favorite Christmas songs as well as tunes from his musical theatre career.

John Barrowman recently reprised his role as Billy Crocker in the National Theatre's production of Anything Goes at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. He originally played the role opposite Elaine Paige in 1989. On Broadway, the actor starred in the Stephen Sondheim revue Putting It Together and also made a guest appearance in the New York company of Sunset Boulevard, repeating his London role as Joe Gillis. Barrowman's other London theatrical credits include Grease!, The Phantom of the Opera, The Fix, Miss Saigon and Beauty and the Beast. He made his London pantomime debut in a production of Cinderella last December and was also seen in the film of "The Producers."

Tickets are priced £10. For more information visit www.rfh.org.uk.
