Daniel Brocklebank’s spectacular appearance on last month’s ITV’s All Star Musicals – which saw him perform the song From Now On from The Greatest Showman – was hailed as “outstanding”. The actor blew the judges and TV viewers away with his beautiful rendition.

Daniel, who plays vicar Billy Mayhew in Coronation Street, said: “I absolutely love performing and I am so excited to make my first stage appearance with West End Proms. Winning All Star Musicals was a dream come true; I now can’t wait to sing live once again, on stage with this wonderful cast.”

Daniel joins a top cast of stars for West End Proms, including John Owen-Jones (Les Mis), Ben Forster (ITV’s Superstar), Rachel John and Jon Robyns (Hamilton), Jodie Steele and Jamie Muscato (Heathers), Lauren Samuels(BBC’s Over the Rainbow), and Marisha Wallace (Dreamgirls).

This is more than a concert; it’s a show worthy of the West End and Broadway. We’ve brought together some of the world’s most beautiful voices complete with a stunning live orchestra. It will be an extraordinary night.”
