Christopher has been acting, singing and dancing from the age of six, appearing in various pantomimes, musicals, plays and was also a children’s member of the RSC. He went on to gain a Btec in performing arts at Stratford-upon-Avon college and whilst there was privileged enough to be the principle character (Horton) in the UK Premiere of Suessical the Musical- with permission from the Broadway creative team.

While at studios Christopher performed twice in Dance Overture at the New Wimbledon Theatre, choreographed and danced in Design for Dance at the Cocrane Theater in Holborn, played Geoffrey in Stepping Out directed by Susan Raasay and finally starred as Vinnie in the Seedtime UK tour of Lucky Stiff.

Christopher is also an avid playwright and last year he produced his first play at the DeValois Theatre The Live's of Others to rave reviews. Christopher loves teaching in all aspects of musical theatre, having taught dance for Stagecoach, jazz and audition routines at Stratford College and Musical theatre at Flipside Dance 2008. He is delighted to be back this year and hopes to make it bigger and better than ever.
