The winner of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Superstar Ben Forster will perform the hits of the West End in his new tour next autumn.

Ben, who won the ITV show in 2012 and went on to become one of the West End’s leading men, will sing songs from hit musicals The Phantom Of The Opera, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, and many more.

The tour follows the release of Ben’s new record – Musical’s Greatest Hits, on Westway Music.

The Sunderland-born star hit the big time when he won Lloyd Webber’s talent search, going on to take the leading role in the sell-out arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Playing the title character in Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, more success followed. There were other hits before and after – including Grease, Thriller – Live, The Rocky Horror Show, Evita, Elf, and more.

In this this new intimate show, Ben will perform the songs that made him a star – as well as sharing captivating stories about his life in the limelight.

Ben said: “It’s almost 14 years since I won Superstar so now will be a great time to look back at my career since then, and share the songs from musical theatre that are so special to me.”
