-

A tribute to some of the greatest musicals of all time featuring‘Britain’s Got Talent’winner Jai McDowall is coming to West Lothian this month.

‘Come What May’ will feature hits from ‘Moulin Rouge,’ ‘Rocketman’, ‘The Greatest Showman’, ‘A Star is Born’ and ‘Burlesque’ and is coming to Howden Park Centre in Livingston on September 16.

Featuring the sensationa­l ‘BGT’ winner Jai McDowall alongside a cast of West End theatre performers, the musical extravagan­za is a guaranteed “Spectacula­r, Spectacula­r” evening of muchloved songs, pure glitz and old-time glamour.

Have a musical peep into the flamboyant world of Elton John, journey on into the imaginatio­n of the original showman PT Barnum before heading to the bright lights of Los Angeles as well as the kitsch glamour of Sunset Boulevard’s Burlesque Lounge.

‘Come What May’ is packed with timeless classics from ‘Moulin Rouge’ including ‘Come What May’, ‘Your Song’, ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend,’ ‘Roxanne’ and ‘Lady Marmalade’ as well as hits from other iconic movie musicals from ‘Come Alive,’ ‘Saturday Night’s Alright’ and ‘Shallow’ to ‘Show Me How You Burlesque’.

This all-singing, all-dancing show is an unforgetta­ble combinatio­n of dreams, adventure and above all – love!

Jai McDowall heads a cast of 12. He won the fifth season of Britain’s Got Talent, capturing the hearts of a nation with his powerhouse vocals, natural charm and versatile song interpreta­tions.

He said Moulin Rouge is his favorurite musical of all time, adding: “I love the music. Sadly I’ve not made it to the real thing yet. I think it’d be amazing to be in Paris in the year 1900. A life with lots of singing and dancing in Paris, what more could you ask for?”

He continued: “Just before covid/ lockdown hit, I was fortunate enough to tour with Susan Boyle around the UK. It was such an incredible experience and something I have wanted to do since being on Britain’s Got Talent, so that was a massive tick off the bucket list.” For tickets visit www. howdenpark­centre.co.uk
