Chit Chat - Borrowing Barrowman
West End star John Barrowman looks as if he is going to be a busy boy this Christmas.
Not only is he appearing in A Few Good Men at the Theatre Royal Haymarket until December 17 but, when he is not finding out how much truth he can handle in Aaron Sorkin’s taut military thriller, he’ll be camping it up as a charming prince in pantomime at the New Wimbledon Theatre from December 9.
Confused? There’s no need. After all, the Simply Musical star made a recent TV appearance as time-travelling Captain Jack Harness in the new series of Doctor Who and it seems that he will be employing some sort of Tardis-like device (perhaps draped in tinsel?) to travel between Wimbledon and the West End on a daily basis for the beginning part of the festive period.
Either that, or some unfortunate punters are going to be watching an understudy somewhere along the line. But no, that would never happen. I refuse to believe it.
