Hammond student secures role in Hit Musical.
Hammond Musical Theatre student, Joel
Harper-Jackson, last seen as Ubaldo Piangi in The
Hammond's recent production of The Phantom of The
Opera, will soon be performing in in the 'Rent
20th Anniversary Concert Tour' with JP productions. Celebrating 20
years since its first staged performance, West End and Broadway
leading lady Kerry Ellis stars with runner up of ITV's Superstar
Rory Taylor in this iconic concert of the smash-hit musical
Rent.
Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent is about falling in
love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony
Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this
musical has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock
and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. Based
loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, the show follows a year in
the life of a group of friends struggling to make it in the big
city under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
The tour will begin for one night only at Manchester Opera House on 25th of April before moving on to The Liverpool Echo Arena on 27th April and other Theatres around the UK.
