Welcome back! Today we meet the guy who guides us (cast and audience) through the show…
Name:
Ed Leigh
Character name:
Lonny Barnett
Tell me a bit about your character:
He’s the ‘narrator’ of the show…kind of. He’s Dennis’ right hand man, eccentric and over the top. Rarely serious, always crazy. Oh, and every now and again he sings a bit.
Favourite song in the show and why:
‘Heaven/More Than Words’ – because I think it’s just epic. It’s like eating *insert well known and popular pizza brand here* but for your ears.
Favourite dance move in the show:
The ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ Chumbawumba Hump.
Most embarrassing moment ever on stage:
Panto years ago, I ran on from one side of the stage, tripped just as I came out, and slid across the front of the stage on my stomach like a penguin – straight into the other wing. The audience thought it was all planned… Only the cast knew better. ๐
Favourite pastime out of theatre:
Playing either tennis or badminton, or going full nerd and playing some video games.
Why you should come and see HSAP’s RoA:
Because we have a sexy Rock God in cowboy boots and I get chased around the stage with my trousers down by a man holding cans of whipped cream. These reasons are also being used as a pre-warning for my family when they see it (Sorry Mum).
Told you there were some funny stories worth waiting around forย ๐ย Next week, we meet the Rock to Ed’s Roll… (see what I did there)ย ๐
