S CLUB’S JON LEE IS HASTINGS’ PETER PANWest End Actor and International Pop Star to lead White Rock Christmas ShowFormer S Club 7 star and West End Actor Jon Lee will play Peter Pan in a brand new musical production which is being presented at the Hastings White Rock Theatre this Christmas. The former star of Oliver! and Les Miserables, as well as the internationally famous pop group S Club 7, will play the “boy who never grew up” in the show which marks the first Christmas production from new production company JC & JW Theatre Productions. The show will run for 40 performances from Wednesday 10th December 2008 to Sunday 4th January 2009. Jon is best known as a member of the pop sensation S Club 7 which enjoyed number one hits all over the world including four in the UK, and to this day remain massively popular with TV shows such as Miami 7, Hollywood 7 and Viva S Club which were seen by over 90 million viewers in over 100 countries. As well as the popularity of their television series, S Club 7 won two BRIT awards: in 2000 for British breakthrough act and in 2002, for best British single (Don’t Stop Movin’). As a musical theatre actor, Jon starred as Oliver Twist in Cameron Mackintosh’s original production of Oliver! at the London Palladium with Jonathan Pryce as Fagin – and with Sally Dexter (rather than Jodie Prenger) as Nancy. He has appeared as Marius in two long runs of Les Miserables at the Palace Theatre (which earned him a nomination for Best Newcomer in the What’s On Stage Awards) and at the Queen’s Theatre in London. Jon will be seen later this year as Billy Fury in Nick Moran’s film Telstar and is the voice of Max in the forthcoming new Disney version of The Famous Five. Peter Pan, which is written by Julian Chenery and Colin Warnock, is a faithful adaptation of the JM Barrie story including original Chenery & Warnock songs, some famous musical theatre numbers as well as a sprinkling of hit songs from today. Further casting will be announced in the next few weeks. ENDS All enquiries: Carolyn Chenery: (T) 01883 723444; (e) This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
