Do you have a link to confirm that, John? The show's website only has Felicia and Killian listed at this point as far as I can tell.

Ellen,
If you go to the original link then click on a box that says ' West End Stars Join Memphis Cast', it gives you a list of those in the cast. Plus the fact that I had spoken to Simon on his last day in BETM, who informed me he was going to be in the show.

Okay everyone, here's that link. It appears that Simon is the only other former BETM cast member on the list.

I know this Little Theatre well......many happy memories of it. A gem in a gem of a Norfolk seaside town. It showed Billy Elliot Live a few weeks ago.

From the Muncie (Indiana) Free Press:
Killian Donnelly stars as Huey Calhoun, a high-energy, highly-adored Memphis disc jockey with a keen sense of what the public wants to hear. Donnelly’s theatre repertoire includes Tony in Billy Elliot the Musical, Raoul in The Phantom of the Opera and Enjolras in Les Misérables.

Killian is maintaining his annual tradition of penning a pantomime for Sheringham's Little Theatre: this year it will be Cinderella.

Past year's pantos written by Killian for The Little Theatre are Jack in the Beanstalk (2012), Snow White (2013) and Robin Hood (2014).
