Dane, who previously performed in Cats at the London Palladium, said: “I’m so thrilled to be performing Cats in Manchester. I have played the Opera House before with my first show, 7 Brides, but it means more this time.

“I have been in Cats now for nearly five years, performing all across Germany, Europe and the West End but somehow this makes me the most proud.

“The Opera House is where I used to go and see all the tours and hope that one day I would be on stage.”

“I first discovered musicals through school, we had great performing arts teachers and we constantly performed musicals and took trips to the West End to see shows,” he said. “It changed my life seeing these shows and getting to perform regularly with a supportive group of people.

“I’m always thankful to Lostock and the teachers Susan Hilton and Derek Davies for their encouragement.”
