He also toured nationally in the revival of Jesus Christ Superstar, playing Jesus of Nazareth.
Much of Tom’s career has been spent as a session singer, providing vocals for more than 400 major motion picture soundtracks and recording with artists including Adele, Robbie Williams, Katherine Jenkins, Take That, Russell Watson and Il Divo.
Tom now runs Vocals Unlimited, supplying singers for major films, video games and recording artists, and works predominantly as a conductor. His recent credits include conducting the soundtracks for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
As the driving force behind our musical evenings at The Maynard, Tom brings together his passion for musical theatre, his wealth of industry experience and his love of sharing the stories behind the music.

Book early to avoid missing out
We hosted Musicals at The Maynard earlier this year and all three nights were a huge success. Demand for the November dates is already strong, so if this sounds like your kind of evening, or a wonderful gift for someone who loves the theatre, it really is worth securing your seats sooner rather than later.
Reserve your seat tonight
Musicals at The Maynard runs on 12th, 13th and 14th November. Tickets are £55 per person and include dinner and the full live show. Overnight packages are also available for those who want to make a real occasion of it.
