In an interview, Andy said: “The original concept for Beyond the Barricades came about when David and I were performers in Les Miserables.

“I saw the potential of creating a concert version of some of the most popular songs from the musical theatre genre.

“We take our audience on a journey through some of the greatest stage musicals, including Miss Saigon, Phantom of the Opera, Blood Brothers, The Lion King, Hamilton, and, of course, Les Miserables.”

Tickets, priced at £23.50, are available online from www.embassytheatre.co.uk or from the box office on 01507 474100.
