Dave Willetts and Tabitha Webb

Dave Willetts and Tabitha Webb

Dave Willetts has been described as an enigma as he has never had any formal singing, dancing or acting lessons and yet he is one of the country's leading musical theatre stars.  He has played the leads in Les Misérables and Phantom of the Opera as well as roles in Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunset Boulevard, 42 Street and Aspects of Love.

Tabitha Webb won the prestigious Â鶹ԼÅÄ Choir Girl of the Year competition (1995), which led to numerous national radio and television appearances.  Since then, she has starred as ‘Christine’ in Phantom of the Opera and in Les Misérables in the West End.
