Killian Donnelly - Tony

It's good to see a report which gets the facts right and gives Lee Hall due prominence over Elton John, so often mistakenly credited as writer of the show.

Ah, sure, Brian, it takes the Irish to get the facts right

I've been very impressed with Killian's thoughtful and classic performance as Tony. He has brought a whole new dimension to this role.

He features quite a bit on youtube. Some examples for your enjoyment but lots more. Quite a character, too

His name is also in the credits for the new Les Miserables film (as is former BETM stalwart Phil Snowden)

Thanks for giving us these links Pat. What a performer!
I agree he brings a real freshness to the role of Tony - and a very welcome freshness at that.

Killian tweeted this morning:

"Today I shall be swearing, fighting, spitting and roaring in the face of an 11yr old boy who wants to dance. Twice! And get paid for it!"
