It has been announced that John Owen-Jones and Ashleigh Gray have joined the line up for this years Momentous Musicals UK Tour. Openeing at the New Wimbledon Theatre on Wednesday 17th July, Momentous Musicals will then visit Torquay, Bradford and Manchester.
John Owen-Jones is well known for his time in Phantom of the Opera. He is the West End’s longest serving Phantom having played the role nearly 2000 times.

Momentous Musicals marks the first time that John and Gareth have been reunited on stage since they starred together in Cameron Mackintosh’s sold out 25th Anniversary tour of Les Misérables.
The cast will be supported by a young and talented ensemble including Bronté Barbé, best known as a finalist in the BBC’s Over the Rainbow and Richard Lowe who originated the role of Lucas Lloyd in Loserville at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and in its subsequent West End transfer to the Garrick.
Featuring some of the best songs from last year’s show, alongside a wealth of new material, this year’s production will feature brand new arrangements of classic and recent musical theatre songs including ‘Let Me Be Your Star’ from US TV series Smash, ‘What I Did For Love’ from A Chorus Line and ‘One Day More’ from Les Misérables as well as several surprises.
