Other credits include: Dirty Dancing (UK tour); My Fair Lady; Guys and Dolls; Hamlet; King Lear; Much Ado About Nothing; Meet Me in St Louis; Othello (New Harmony Theatre) and productions with The Milwaukee Ballet, Nashville Ballet and Ballet Soul..
The star of the show is Donkey, played by Brandon Lee Sears. He’s just hilarious and provides a lot of the comedy moments. And boy can he sing!
Brandon Lee Sears in the role of Jimmy Early highlighted moments both comedy and poignant - the audience sat up in their seats every time Sears came on stage. Sears is an all-singing, all-dancing, all-acting superstar and he lights up the stage in any production you find him in.
