Daniel Boys joins Spamalot

It has been confirmed that Bonnie Langford will return to the West End production of Spamalot as The Lady of the Lake from Monday 24th February 2014. The production has extended to 12th April 2014.

Also joining the cast is Daniel Boys, star of BBC1’s Any Dream Will Do, and stage shows including Rent, War Of The Worlds and Avenue Q, who takes on the role of Sir Lancelot from 24th February. As well as having released his solo album So Close in 2009, Daniel performed I Know Him So Well with John Barrowman on his album Music, Music, Music, and he also sings the theme tune on the TV show, Neighbours.

Fresh from her appearance on the current series of ITV1’s Dancing on Ice, where Bonnie Langford yet again proved to the nation that she’s a natural born entertainer, she brings her own brand of showbiz glamour back to the stage as she is reunited with Joe Pasquale who returned to the role of King Arthur last month. Bonnie and Joe starred together in Spamalot last summer after Bonnie contacted Joe on Twitter, invited him to see her in the show and then suggested to the producers that he’d be a great King Arthur.

Having first played The Lady of The Lake on the UK tour of Spamalot (playing at venues across the land, but fortunately not Swamp Castle), she then returned for a successful run at The Harold Pinter Theatre during the 2012 Olympics and then again when Spamalot moved to The Playhouse Theatre in 2013, alongside a host of famous King Arthurs including Marcus Brigstocke, Jon Culshaw, Stephen Tompkinson and Les Dennis.

Bonnie’s illustrious showbiz career began aged just six when she won the talent programme, Opportunity Knocks before starring in TV series Just William, the 1974 Broadway Revival of Gypsy (alongside Angela Langsbury) and the movie Bugsy Malone. Bonnie’s adult life has seen her perform in top stage shows such as Chicago, Cats, Guys & Dolls and Dolly Parton’s stage version of ‘9 to 5’. She came third place in Torvill & Dean’s Dancing on Ice on ITV1 in 2006 and went on tour with them in 2007, before returning to the final series this year.
