Britain's Got Talent winner teaming up with boyband frontman for spectacular Dundee gig

Two major singing stars are joining forces to bring the songs of Broadway to a Dundee stage.

Britain’s Got Talent winner Jai McDowall is teaming up with G4 singer Jonathan Ansell for the exciting show later this year.

The smash-hit live concert - called Ansell’s Les Musicals - opens as part of a UK tour at Whitehall Theatre on Thursday, March 24, for one night only.

The pair are set to deliver sensational performances from some of the most beloved film and musical productions of all time.

The concert will feature numbers from a wide range of hit musicals including The Greatest Showman, Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You and Dear Evan Hansen.

The family-friendly show has already toured the UK in 2018 and 2019, selling out across the country and receiving rave reviews from critics and audience members alike.

A third tour was planned for 2020, but had to be postponed due to the pandemic.

Ayrshire -born Jai won the fifth season of Britain’s Got Talent and released his debut album Believe to widespread acclaim in 2011.

He said: “I can’t believe it’s finally time for us to hit the road again.

“Performing alongside Jonathan is always a joy — we were both discovered on reality TV shows, have starred in the West End and have worked in the music industry for years.

“Most importantly, though, we share a love of musical theatre and have a great camaraderie.

“It’s going to be a great tour and I can’t wait to take to the stage in Dundee!”

While Jonathan added: “Ansell’s Les Musicals is the ultimate celebration of musical theatre and we can’t wait to perform it for fans in Scotland.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to perform for large audiences and we are incredibly excited to play at Whitehall Theatre in Dundee.”
