band and on-stage choir. Emmy Award winning composer Lance Horne will make a guest appearance to accompany Julie for two of his songs, and Brit composer Michael Bruce will helm a
performance of ‘Portrait of a Princess', which he wrote to showcase Julie's innate comedic talent. For Atherton aficionados, the concert will feature songs from Avenue Q, The Last 5 Years and Ordinary Days, and some totally unexpected numbers will receive the unique Atherton treatment. Best known for creating the roles of Kate Monster and Lucy The Slut in Avenue Q, and her role as
Cathy in Jason Robert Brown's The Last 5 Years, Julie is one of the most prolific and successful
young musical theatre stars in the West End, having previously played Sophie in smash hit Mamma Mia! and Serena in Fame. She is also an experienced concert artist, having headlined numerous musical engagements at venues as diverse as the Donmar Warehouse and the Royal Albert Hall. Julie launched her second solo album, No Space for Air, at the Delfont Room at the Prince of
Wales Theatre in June 2010, following which she made her North West solo debut at Manchester's
infamous Band on the Wall. Prior to the Apollo, she will be performing two exclusive acoustic
sessions of an unplugged reworking of her album at The Pheasantry on the Kings Road in Chelsea. Daniel Boys is an award-winning performer whose career encompasses TV, West End musicals,
national tours, and numerous concerts and recordings. His appearance on the hugely successful
BBC TV talent show Any Dream Will Do in 2007 firmly established him as one of the UK's brightest
emerging musical talents. He is currently performing in Australia at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. Richard Fleeshman first came to public attention in the cast of Coronation Street at the age of 12.
In 2006, he won ITV's Soapstar Superstar, increasing his profile as a singer, since which he has
played the lead role of Warner in Legally Blonde in the West End, and appeared in the BBC series
All The Small Things. He will soon return to the West End in the highly anticipated world première
production of Ghost the Musical, which has just completed a successful run in Manchester.
