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...

Emeli Sande with support Calum Scott

On friday 21st October 2017, Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena was entertained by one of the UK's best selling artists of the past decade, Emeli Sande, and her incredible support act, Britain's Got Talent star Calum Scott. The arena was full and the atmosphere electric. Britain's Got Talent alumni Calum Scott opened the show, with high energy, crisp & powerful vocals serenading Cardiff with some of his own tracks from his up coming debut album. A personal highlight being his next single "You Are The Reason" which was both emotional and captivating, alongside a surprise cover to Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud. Of course the crowds went wild as he thanked them for and quote "one of the best gigs I've ever done!" And continued to belt out the hit that started his career "Dancing On My Own". Calum is without a doubt an artist to watch out for over the coming years - raw talent. Emeli Sande... one woman, one voice (not too discredit h...
