G4 frontman Jonathan Ansell is teaming up with fellow star of London’s West End and Britain’s Got Talent winner Jai McDowall to bring the glittering lights of Broadway to Bury St Edmunds next month.

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.

“Ansell’s Les Musicals is the ultimate celebration of musical theatre and we can’t wait to perform it for fans in Bury St Edmunds,” said Jonathan Ansell, who shot to fame with pop-opera group G4 when they finished second on the first series of The X Factor back in 2004 and has since sold over two million albums worldwide.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to perform for large audiences and we are incredibly excited to perform at The Apex.”
