One of Gary's favourite shows is the one in which he made his debut for EMS as “Lord Battersby” in “Me and My Girl” in 2000. Since then Gary has gone on to be one of our leading performers and has played parts as diverse as “The Pirate King” in “Pirates of Penzance”, “Ephraim” in “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” “Oscar” in our award winning performance of “Sweet Charity”, and Judas in “Godspell” Gary has also written many original songs and monologues and occasionally works as an extra on television shows and films. Gary's two sons Adam and Daniel have also joined their dad on stage many times. |
