Following a critically acclaimed stint in Sasha Regan's brand new production of Whistle Down the Wind at the Union Theatre, Welsh boy, pharmacist, flight attendant and Mormon Sebastian Thomas will make his solo debut in Make Me a Mormon at prestigious cabaret venue The Pheasantry on the Kings Road in Chelsea, London for one night only on Monday 16 March 2015.

Join musical theatre performer Sebastian Thomas for an evening of comedic songs as he traces his eclectic journey from the Welsh countryside through dispensing pills, flying the skies and becoming a (not so) devout Mormon. Up hills, down dales and across oceans, exploring musical cracks and crevices at every turn, Make Me a Mormon is a testament to the truth that wherever your journey starts, you can you never predict the path it will follow.

Featuring a concoction of songs from West End and Broadway musicals including 'Baptize Me' from The Book of Mormon, 'Purpose' from Avenue Q, 'A Light in the Dark' from Next to Normal and a surprising 'Suddenly Seymour' from Little Shop of Horrors, Make Me a Mormon will also include a song from the Idina Menzel Broadway star vehicle If / Then alongside other contemporary fare from musical theatre writers including Kerrigan & Lowdermilk.

Sebastian Thomas will be joined on stage in Make Me a Mormon by several up and coming young musical theatre performers including the gospel-voiced Sally Samad (Been on Broadway, SMASH-ing), ballet boy turned musical theatre ingénue Edward Crann (Whistle Down the Wind) and Donna Marsh (WAG the Musical) with other guests to be announced.

Sebastian Thomas trained at the North Wales School of Dance, following which he made his international debut in Disney's Beauty and the Beast at Disney MGM Studios. He returned to the UK to make his London debut in Been on Broadway at The Pheasantry, following which he transferred with the show to the Duchess Theatre in the West End. His other theatre credits include Christmas in New York at the Palace Theatre in Manchester and the Palace Theatre in London and Hamish in Orion's Hat at the Tristan Bates Theatre. His previous cabaret credits include SMASHing, a tribute to Steven Spielberg's popular TV series, SMASH.

Make Me a Mormon is produced by Neil Eckersley for Speckulation Entertainment and written by Andrew Thomas Jones with musical direction by Bryan Hodgson.
