Conister Rock listen again: Dave Artus

Today, Christy was joined on the Conister Rock by star of stage and screen David Artus, who has bagged some of the biggest roles in musical theatre in his time, from Jean Valjean in Les Miserables to The Phantom in Phantom of the Opera; he has written and produced 7 pantomimes (and gave Broadway star Samantha Barks her first professional role!) and now lives The Good Life in Kirk Michael with his lovely wife Victoria, their children and a some miniature sheep and tiny horses. As y'do... 

Dave talked about what it was like being one of the only young boys in tap shoes, about dealing with dyslexia, about his adoptive parents and finding his birth family and, of course, about some of the fantastic times he has spent on stage playing everything from human cats to Biblical bad boys. 

If you missed any part of the programme, you can listen again here for the next 7 days, after which the show will be loaded as a podcast. In the meantime, below is a clip from the programme.
