Actor, singer, and entertainer John Barrowman MBE is set to visit Newtown next year.

He will take to the stage at The Hafren on February 16, as part of his 2025 concert tour, 'Laid Bare.'

The tour will be a solo show featuring Barrowman's unique blend of music and storytelling.

The star of both stage and screen is enthusiastic about his latest venture.

He said: "I’m really excited about my new show.

"I can’t wait to get on the road and perform for my fan family and all the new faces around the country who will get to know me better as I get back to my roots, celebrate my journey and tell my stories as I am 'Laid Bare' for everyone to enjoy."

Born in Glasgow, Barrowman moved to the US at the age of eight.

He returned to the UK to make his debut on the West End alongside Elaine Paige in Cole Porter’s 'Anything Goes.'

Since then, Barrowman has established himself as a major force on both sides of the Atlantic, starring in acclaimed Broadway and West End productions including 'Sunset Boulevard,' 'Phantom of the Opera,' 'Miss Saigon,' and 'Beauty & the Beast.'

His success in theatre led to roles on popular TV shows such as 'Doctor Who,' 'Torchwood,' and 'Arrow,' and he has also been a familiar face on TV talent shows 'Dancing on Ice,' 'I’d Do Anything,' 'Any Dream Will Do,' and 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria.'

The Scottish-American performer has also enjoyed a successful recording career, releasing ten best-selling solo albums.

His current album, 'Centre Stage,' recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, is described by Barrowman as "my journey through my career in musical theatre."

He will perform some of his favourite songs from the album during the tour, alongside anecdotes and memories.

In addition to his acting and singing career, Barrowman is also a best-selling author.

His autobiography 'Anything Goes' became a Sunday Times bestseller, and he has co-written nine action/adventure books with his sister, Carole Barrowman.

In 2014, he was awarded an MBE for his services to charity and entertainment.

Matt Brinkler from RED Entertainment is equally excited about the tour.

He said: "John is one of the most exciting entertainers to watch live and the team at RED are excited to be promoting his new tour.

"As the title – Laid Bare – suggests, this is a stripped-back, up close and personal production and unlike anything he’s done before.

"Not only is John an incredible singer with a huge range, he’s also a natural raconteur and I think audiences are going to love the chance to get to know the real John Barrowman."

The tour will be produced by Keith Jack, who first met Barrowman on the BBC talent show 'Any Dream Will Do.'

Mr Jack said: "I grew up watching John Barrowman play every leading role in the theatre – he was such an inspiration.

"Then I had the great fortune of meeting him on the BBC talent show, Any Dream Will Do, and we became good friends.

"It’s such an honour to be able to produce John’s new tour – I get to produce and work with an incredible friend and to produce a show for someone who was born to be on the stage.

"John is undoubtedly one of the best leading actors in theatre and TV around the world and I can’t wait to see the show myself."

Fans can expect an up-close and personal performance from Barrowman, showcasing his vocal range from baritone to tenor, and providing an insight into the entertainer's life and career.

Tickets are available for purchase from the official John Barrowman website.
