Hello everyone!
At last a chance to update and let you all know how amazing the past few months have been for me! The Superstar tour was just incredible and I want to thank everyone involved for making it such a huge success. And that includes every person who came to see it! People keep asking me which was my favourite arena. Impossible question, because each one was different and each one was fabulous. And as you now know, we are doing a second UK tour throughout March, so looking forward to that and being with all of you again.
After Superstar, I really needed to recharge the batteries so went on a peaceful and beautiful holiday in Vietnam. Came back tanned and restored! Then straight into rehearsals for the 40th anniversary tour of The Rocky Horror Show. Well!!! You couldn’t get anything more different than Superstar and it’s been a blast!!! Such a fun show, the cast are fantastic, especially my gorgeous co-star Roxanne Pallett. We opened in Brighton, what a great town and the audiences nearly took the roof off the theatre every night! then moved onto Torquay (CRAZY CROWDS! at the weekend) and are just about to open in Bristol, but coming to seven other theatres before March. Check them out on www.rockyhorror.co.uk/tour_dates and maybe see you at a theatre near you????
In between there have been some other amazing experiences. I’ ve done lots of tv/radio interviews, been on the Jonathan Ross show, took part in the celebrity Christmas jumper campaign for Save The Children, met up with the Spice Girls at the Viva Forever premiere and managed to squeeze in some recording as well. It’s just been an incredible whirlwind ever since winning Superstar back in August. But now I’m going to take time to make sure this blog is updated regularly. And this is my opportunity to say Happy New Year to you all and a great big thank you for your endless support. Be back soon!!!
Love and luck from Ben
