After finishing that job and a quick three week trip to do an awesome concert in Shanghai I was flown over to the US to star as Elder Price in the multi-award-winning musical The Book Of Mormon.
I joined the First National touring production of the show originally for just six months but stayed with the show a year and a half in total and had the time of my life. When I decided to hang up my Mormon underwear and leave the show I had visited more than 36 cities in 26 states which was a life changing experience in many ways and was the perfect way to adjust to American life.
I applied for and was granted my green card during my time on the road which meant that I could make that goal of mine a reality and move to New York City. It was the best decision I could have made because regardless of the fact that I miss my family, friends and London a tremendous amount, this city is definitely where I want and need to be, for the foreseeable future at least.
I loved it! I basically started training again - voice lessons, acting classes, on-camera coaching, dialect sessions, every type of dance class, as well as boxing, yoga and pilates. I enjoyed much more of a social life and travelled more and enjoyed friends.
It was an incredible thing to do after working constantly for ten years, to basically have an extra six months of training, working with teachers and coaches who I got to hand pick to take my work to the next level. With a new inspired energy and focus I started auditioning again and loved being cast in various readings, and workshops because being part of the collaborative, creative, artistic process filled me with inspiration and joy.
I have worked on numerous productions in and around New York since then. I absolutely loved every minute of that awesome show. Working with extremely grounded, nice people who are at the top of their game always fills me with joy and that's exactly what Mary Poppins was, a joy from day one to closing night. I have taught and lectured at many theatre schools, colleges and universities in London, all over the UK and here in States too.

But the thing about Wales is that it is the land of song, and everyone in school is brought up singing in a choir; considering how small Wales is, there is an incredible amount of music.
London must have felt like a great, seething metropolis when you first got here. I was really upset, although I also found myself growing up very quickly [ laughs ]. I was touring with Oklahoma! Do you ever look around the West End at what other shows might be right for you? What about returning yet again at some later date to Wicked? Broadway BUZZ. Sponsored By.
