Willetts has also played leading roles in Aspects of Love at the Menier Chocolate Factory, Sunset Boulevard at the Comedy Theatre, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, Sweeney Todd at the Leicester Haymarket, Ragtime at the Piccadilly Theatre and in the UK Tours of South Pacific and 42nd Street as well as the 25th Anniversary production of Cats.

The Man Inside has music by Tony Rees and book and lyrics by Tony Rees and Gary Young, with additional material by Dave Willetts and orchestrations by Matheson Bayley. It is directed by Robert McWhir, with musical direction by Matheson Bayley. It is produced by Theatrica Ltd. in collaboration with The Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham.
