About the Show

An evening of musical magic waits as West End Gold returns to the Villa Marina!

After a sell out performance in March, the cast of West End Gold will once again bring you an unforgettable evening of songs from some of the world’s favourite musicals along with a sprinkling of festive classics. And for the first time, stars from the London stage will join together with the finest local talent to bring you a very special Christmas show.

The Isle of Man’s Stephen Palfreman will again be returning in the show and he is delighted to be bringing West End Gold back to the island. “When we were here in March we were overwhelmed with the reaction the show received” he said. “We had Samantha Barks as our special guest and both the audience and the performers had a fantastic night.”

Amongst the cast will be seasoned West End performers who have performed in shows including , Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, We Will Rock You, Phantom of The Opera, Blood Brothers and many more. Also flying in for the evening will be the West End Gold show band which will be lead by Andy Smith whose credits include The Lion King, Les Miserable, Cats, Thriller Live and Buddy.

Joining the cast for an Island first are The Manx Operatic Society and Douglas Choral Union who will be performing a preview of their forthcoming shows in 2012. Taylorian Productions will be giving us a taste of what to expect at Dick Whittington, this year’s pantomime at the Gaiety Theatre. And the cast of Rent which played to great acclaim at the Gaiety last month will perform “Seasons of Love” from the show.

Stephen said “We really wanted to involve some of the societies from the island and we’re really looking forward to working with them. It’s a great chance for our West End cast and local performers to work together and the evening will be a great celebration of the amazing standard of talent on the island.”

Stephen who is currently stars as Mickey in the Multi award winning West End production of Blood Brothers added “As always there’ll be songs from lots of the well known musicals but we really want to give the show a festive flavour so there’ll be plenty of music to really get you into the Christmas spirit. There’ll be something for everybody and we hope to have the audience on their feet again at the end of the show!”

West End Gold is brought to you in association with Manx Radio.
