Neil takes to the road as a singing, dancing Romeo
Neil Toon, 24, who went to Shoeburyness High School, will play Romeo in Shakespeare 4 Kidz’ version of Romeo and Juliet. He has already made a mark on stage after being cast in the West End roles of Marius in Les Miserables and Link Larkin in Hairspray. Neil moves into the part after appearing in New Boy, in London’s Trafalgar Studios, and the title role in his first pantomime, Aladdin, last Christmas. The international tour starts on Monday and visits Dubai, Damascus, Sharjah, Bahrain and Gibraltar. “I was hoping to get away on holiday this summer but it seemed doubtful because of the credit crunch,” says the tenor, who was born in Southend. “I’m very lucky, as now I’m going to beautiful places with beautiful sunshine, doing what I love and getting paid for it.” “Romeo and Juliet is the chance to do something new.” The Shakespeare 4 Kidz musical production tells the famous story in a combination of original text, modern language, songs and dance, to make the show easier for youngsters to understand and enjoy.

S4K HAMLET: "I just wanted to let you know how much my eleven year old son and I enjoyed the production this evening. It was the first time at the theatre for my son, who showed an interest after visiting The Globe. He suffers from an attention disorder, and rarely have I seen him so rapt. I have certainly never heard him talk so enthusiastically about any form of entertainment. We look forwards to attending tomorrow afternoon for Hamlet. Thank you for enabling me to share something that I particularly enjoy with my son, on a level which is appropriate and useful to him." Parent, Norwich. |
