Here at Birmingham Hippodrome, we are delighted to be supporting our West End friends Earl Carpenter, Kerry Ellis, Katie Hall and John Owen-Jones this September, as they bring Voices of the West End to the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire.

For over nine years between them, they brought down the chandelier at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End playing the lead role in Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s The Phantom Of the Opera. Now, in the wake of the greatest crisis their industry has ever faced, Earl Carpenter and John Owen-Jones have found a way of taking down the barriers to enjoying a night out at the theatre – by going open air at the British Motor Museum.

Earl and John are no strangers to performing together – they are the original Valjean and Javert of Cameron Mackintosh’s 25th Anniversary Tour of Les Misérables. Their partnership was immortalised on the 2010 Les Misérables Live!

They will be joined by the wonderful Kerry Ellis who originated lead roles in West End and Broadway productions of Wicked and We Will Rock You. And where two former Phantoms go, there is always a Christine in tow – this time Katie Hall who played the legendary role alongside John and Earl in London’s West End and UK touring productions.

Three-metre square, roped off picnic pitches will ensure lovers of live performance can again enjoy the stylish combination of piano and cello playing the greatest songs from the greatest musicals sung by four of the West End’s finest voices in a safe environment.
