A Touch of West End; described as an evening of musical mayhem and by UK press as “fabulous”, to it being the talk of HELLO magazine, is coming to Medina Theatre for one performance only, and stars Earl Carpenter, who brought the sell-out performance of Three Phantoms to the Isle of Wight last year. 

Starring Rachel Barrell (Phantom of the Opera); Ima Castro (Miss Saigon); Earl Carpenter (25th Anniversary production of Les Misérables); Chris Holland (Dirty Dancing); Annette Yeo (Love Never Dies) and Rohan Tickell (Phantom of the Opera) 

Earl is currently starring alongside Gareth Gates and Broadway star John Owen-Jones, as Inspector Javert in the new 25th Anniversary tour of Cameron Mackintosh’s ‘Les Misérables’.

Southampton born, resident of Ryde and a West End star of substantial critical acclaim, Earl Carpenter has performed many principal and title roles in prolific West End and UK musicals including over a thousand performances as the ‘Phantom of the Opera’ himself.  He will be joined by five other top musical theatre performers singing songs from the shows that have made them the toast of London’s glittering West End.

Earl will be joined by a former Christine Daaé from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Phantom of the Opera’ – Portsmouth’s very own West End star Rachel Barrell;  Rohan Tickell, who has performed in musicals all over the world including ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Cats’, ‘Les Misérables’ and is the current ‘Piangi’ in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End production of ‘Phantom of the Opera’; Ima Castro, who recreated the role of Kim for Sir Cameron Mackintosh on the last UK tour of ‘Miss Saigon’, and received the accolade of “a miracle from Manila” from Claude-Michel Schönberg (writer of ‘Miss Saigon’, ‘Les Misérables’, ‘Martin Guerre’ and ‘Marguerite’); Chris Holland of ‘We Will Rock You’ fame and recently the ‘voice’ in ‘Dirty Dancing’; and finally, Annette Yeo, original cast member of the critically acclaimed phenomenon ‘Mamma Mia’ and now of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Love Never Dies’.

With West End Musical Director and current Musical Supervisor on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new Phantom production ‘Love Never Dies’ James McKeon on Piano, and West End and classically renowned Cellist Yvonne Marie Parsons, ‘A Touch of West End’ is for one performance only at the Medina Theatre on Sunday 16th May and is guaranteed to yet again be an evening of true West End delight.
