Antony Costa Interview Save The Last Dance

Antony Costa Interview 
Save The Last Dance

Antony Costa is currently touring the UK playing Milton in Save The Last Dance and the show arrives at The New Theatre on Monday July 25th until Saturday July 30th.

W&W: Hi Antony, hope your well, how's the show going?

Antony: Really really well, having a great time, very much looking forward to performing in Cardiff. We played Swansea last week and the audience was fantastic so we are hoping the Cardiff audiences will be the same. 

W&W: I'm sure they will be. Tell us about your role in the show.

Antony: I love it, I get to sing songs like Viva Las Vegas, 123 & Save The Last Dance. It's a great show that really captures the early 60's, it's very nostalgic with some great songs.

W&W: You've made a successful transition from pop star to actor and received great reviews from your Westend performance in Blood Brothers.

Antony: I love it, acting is my first love  it's what I done first and it's a great challenge for me to do something other than what I'm best known for like being in the band. I would like to do more straight acting maybe some TV, whatever comes my way but most definitely want to do more acting.

W&W: I suppose the great thing about being in a band like Blue is you can dip in and out.

Antony: Absolutely, we get together do a few shows then go off and do our own thing. We are all getting older and Ofcourse want to try different things but it's great when I get back with the boys to perform as Blue.

W&W: So your travelling all over the UK with the show, do you find audiences differ from city to city.

Antony: Oh yes, when we was in Glasgow it was like a pop concert at the end and it was the same in Liverpool, the audiences was having a great time up & dancing. Then we go to other cities and the crowd is more reserved but still enjoying themselves, it's great, keeps us on our toes. I'm hoping Cardiff are ready for a great night. 

W&W: Your always on the road do you find it hard being away from the family?

Antony: It can be tough at times, luckily there's things like Skype & FaceTime, my little girl thinks I live in the phone. When I see her on my days off she can't quite believe that I'm real. It's dad from the phone haha.

W&W: So what's next for you after this?

Antony: The show wraps in October then hopefully go on holiday for a few weeks and straight back to do panto in Gravesend. 

W&W: Busy times ahead.

Antony: Yes and very much looking forward to performing in Cardiff, I've played Cardiff many times with Blue and the Welsh are always lively and up for a great night. 

Save The Last Dance is brought to you by the team that brought you Dreamcoats & Petticoats and is jam packed with all the hits from the early 60's.

The Addams Family | Wyburn and Wayne Cardiff Times

Frightfully Fabulous Family Time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cooler than the Kardashians, more twisted than the Trumps, The Addams Family have descended upon Cardiff Bay for twelve nights of music and mischief on their UK tour of the Hit musical. Even before the show started I was in awe of the ghoulishly gothic and gorgeous set and then the lights dimmed, the fingers start snapping and the magic begins as the kookiest family of them all take to the stage. The Addams Family have graced our TV and cinema screens for over 50 years and this production has a perfectly cast ensemble to play the iconic death obsessed family that everyone loves. Les Dennis is fantastic as Uncle Fester, he has some great numbers in the show and his lovable character brings much giggles. Samantha Womack and Cameron Blakely are superb as Morticia & Gomez, they pay great tribute to every actor before them that played these roles possessing all the chemistry and charisma that made these parents the most devilish y

Strike A Pose : Interview With Carlton Wilborn

Back in 1990 Madonna took stardom to dizzy heights no star had experienced before. She had a massive number one hit on her hands (Vogue), was in a hit film (Dick Tracy) and embarked on a World Tour that would have the whole world talking! The Blond Ambition Tour broke boundaries and the box office, it was the hottest ticket of the year. And if you wasn’t lucky enough to get a ticket, the tour was made into a rockumentary which featured Madonna on stage, on the road and in bed with Madonna. The film (Truth or Dare/In Bed With Madonna) focused on the relationships the superstar had with those closest to her especially the seven male dancers who featured heavily in the film. Truth or Dare has become something of a classic, probably the first venture into reality TV. The dancers that appeared in it became stars in their own right and attracted a fan base of their own. Now twenty five years later ‘Strike a Pose’ a feature documentary from Ester Gould and Reijer Zwaan, catches up wit

Macbeth Cardiff Open Air Theatre Festival

Macbeth. The word alone strikes fear into the heart of any actor. However, despite the superstition surrounding Macbeth's shortest tragedy, Simon H West's fearless production as part of the Cardiff Open Air Theatre Festival was a visual masterpiece from curtain up to curtain fall. From the wonderfully choreographed fight scenes, to the stomach churning blood appearing throughout, it was as though the bard had lent his work to a Quentin Tarantino film. Set in the mob run 90s, the soundtrack .. was as though it were written for the piece. Starting with the ominous "Things Can Only Get Better" and finding one of its many climaxes with Prodigy's "Fire Starter", this production undeniably showed the power of music. Finding inspiration in classic horror films, it is a must see for all those willing to allow the hairs on their neck to stand on end. Based on a disturbingly raw set that makes the audience feel they've stumbled into an abandoned slaughterhou
