PRESS RELEASE Mon 5thAug M&M Associate Productions presents GARETH GATES JOINS 'AN EVENING OF MOVIES AND MUSICALS’ALONGSIDE JOHN OWEN-JONES & LOUISE DEARMAN
Gareth Gates joins the sell out hit show at Apollo Victoria Theatre, hosted by Christopher Biggins. After four sell out concerts across the UK, M&M Associate Productions Ltd are delighted to announce that Gareth Gates is joining John Owen-Jones and Louise Dearman for An Evening of Movies and Musicals in the West End in December 2013, for a one off spectacular at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. The evening is to be hosted by the much-loved actor and presenter, Christopher Biggins. An Evening of Movies and Musicals has become a sensation since it debuted in early 2012 with a sell out concert at St David’s Hall in Cardiff. Featuring the music of John Williams, Hans Zimmer, James Horner and many more, the show has sold out every date thus far and received glowing acclaim from press and public alike. The likes of Ruthie Henshall, Peter Karrie and Nathan James have all appeared, with the Edinburgh Evening News describing it as ‘sensational, engrossing, engaging and affecting…the ensemble received a well-deserved standing ovation’. Gareth Gates is renowned for being one of the top-selling UK artists in history having sold over three million singles in the UK. Having started his musical career as head chorister for Bradford Cathedral Choir, in recent years he has carved out a successful niche for himself as a lead musical theatre artist. His coveted starring roles include Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Marius in the 25th anniversary tour of Les Miserables. Sir Cameron Mackintosh then asked Gareth to resume the role in the show's West End production. Last year Gareth played the role of Warner in the 2012 tour of Legally Blonde as well as originating the role of Eddy in Loserville at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. He recently starred alongside The Osmonds in a UK concert tour of the hit musical Boogie Nights. Gareth, West End legend John Owen-Jones and current star of Wicked Louise Dearman will all be joined by the West End Gospel Choir and Welsh musical theatre actress Sarah Lark, guiding the audience through hits from the best-loved musicals. This show will be the ideal way to begin Christmas celebrations, with a specially themed Christmas section for the festive period. John Owen-Jones is an award winning West End and Broadway performer, best known for his performances as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera. At the age of 26 he became the youngest actor ever to play the role of Jean Valjean in the West End, going on to play the same role on Broadway.He has also released two critically acclaimed albums, Unmaskedin 2012 and John Owen Jonesin 2009 on Sain Records.

Louise Dearman is the first performer in the history of the musical Wicked to have played both the lead roles of Glinda and Elphaba when she returned to the West End production in Oct 2012. Other notable performances: include Sarah Brown in the national tour of Guys andDolls; Lucy Harris in the UK national tour ofJekyll and Hyde and; the coveted role of Eva Peron in the UK touring production of Evita An accomplished recording artist, Louise released her debut album in 2005 and released her second album Here Comes The Sun to great acclaim.
