John Barrowman Announces Concert Performance In Melbourne Next Year

25 October 2017 | 10:51 am | Staff Writer

The beloved actor is bringing his musical chops to the stage for one night only in January.

Multi-talented actor John Barrowman — best-known for his work in series such as Doctor Who, Torchwood, Arrow, Legends Of Tomorrow and more — will show off his more musical side with a special one-off concert in Melbourne in the new year.

Barrowman will treat his Victorian fans to an evening of stories and songs at Melbourne Arts Centre's Hamer Hall on Tuesday 16 January.

The Scottish-American performer actually has an extensive history in musical theatre, and is a previous nominee of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical (1998, The Fix). He has also released eight covers albums since 1994, the most recent being 2014's crowdfunded You Raise Me Up.

He had a chance to flex his vocal prowess during the last season of Arrow's sister show, The Flash, in a musical crossover episode, as well as his dancing skills in both the 2006 season of Dancing On Ice and 2010's Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.
