EXCLUSIVE PICTURES OF JOHN BARROWMAN AS HE PREPARES TO TAKE OVER THE ROLE OF ALBIN / ZAZA IN LA CAGE AUX FOLLES ON SEPTEMBER 14TH.

Star of screen and stage John Barrowman will become the fourth actor to slip on Zaza’s sparkly stilettos when he joins the cast of the hit West End show La Cage aux Folles.  He takes over from current leading man Roger Allam on September 14th and will continue in the role until November 28th.

Having created the role of Captain Jack Harkness in the first series of Russell T Davies’s revamped Doctor Who for BBC TV, John Barrowman created such an impact he was given his own spin off series, Torchwood, which premiered on BBC3 and BBC2 in 2006. Torchwood series three recently aired on BBC1.

John’s multi-talents have gained him a high profile on a variety of prime-time television shows, stage and screen productions.  In January 2008 his autobiography Anything Goes, which he wrote with his sister Carole E. Barrowman, was published by Michael O’Mara Books and reached number two in the Sunday Times best seller’s list, remaining in the top ten for 13 weeks. The paperback version was published in February 2009, and a follow up autobiography I Am What I Am will be published in October 2009.

La Cage aux Folles is a timeless and deliciously funny tale of family values, unconditional love, and above all, the need to celebrate who we are. Critics and public alike remain unanimous in praise for the production which won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival in 2008. Further casting will be announced shortly.
