Hugh Maynard

At 19 Hugh left his hometown of Torbay, South Devon, for the bright lights of London to pursue his love of acting, singing and dancing. Having trained at The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA) and Arts Educational, Hugh has worked across the board in theatre, music and television.

While studying at Arts Ed, Hugh was chosen by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s company RUG (Really useful Theatre Group) to play the principle role of Simon Zealotes in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Since then Hugh has continued to have a successful career in both London’s West End and on tour with LION KING, NOTRE DAME de PARIS, FOLLIES, DANCING IN THE SREETS, MISS SAIGON and SISTER ACT.

2004 saw Hugh undertake the character of John in MISS SAIGON for the first time and to date he is the youngest person to have been given the privilege of playing this role.

As the sixth member of TENORS OF ROCK (TOR), Hugh has enjoyed both European and American success. Having performed concerts around the world, Hugh was proud to perform with TOR as part of the 2012 World Olympic Games concert. Their debut single, Brothers In Arms, reached No.20 in the official UK rock chart holding Bon Jovi off the spot. January 2014 sees TOR begin their German tour.

Hugh is delighted to be reprising the role of John in Cameron Mackintosh’s highly anticipated new production of Boublil and Schönberg’s MISS SAIGON in 2014.
