John Owen-Jones announces special solo concerts in London, Leeds and Lancashire

Award winning West End and Broadway star John Owen-Jones is to perform three very special shows this autumn.

The Les Misérables and The Phantom Of The Opera star will take to the stage at Her Majesty’s Theatre in the West End on 18 September.

There will also be shows in Lancashire at Lowther Pavilion, Lytham on 4 September and Leeds at City Varieties Hall on 11 September.

John Owen-Jones is famous for his portrayal of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables in the West End and on Broadway – and still holds claim to being the youngest actor in history to have played the role. He’s played The Phantom more than any other actor in the show’s West End history – meaning he’ll feel right at home at Her Majesty’s Theatre, where the show is based.

Fans will experience an intimate performance from John as he celebrates the songs of his career mixing personal favourites, new and old, alongside some of his most well-known performances from Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables.

Expect to hear classics including Bring Him Home (Les Misérables), Music of the Night (The Phantom Of The Opera), Anthem (Chess), Evermore (Beauty And The Beast) and many more.

Speaking about the shows, John said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be presenting my own shows this autumn. Not only will I get to perform in a theatre very special to me at Her Majesty’s but I will also be heading to Lancashire and Leeds.

“It is always an honour to walk out on stage and perform the songs that have been so present throughout my career so I will endeavour to make sure these three shows are very special for everyone.”
