Jason Donovan
Randle P. McMurphy
Jason Donovan came into our lives in the late 80s as Scott Robinson in the hit Australian series, Neighbours.
Throughout the 80s and early 90s he had several chart hits and his album Ten Good Reasons was the best-selling UK album of 1989. His hits included “Too May Broken Hearts”, “Especially For You” (with Kylie Minogue), “Sealed With A Kiss”, “When You Come Back to Me”,
“Everyday”, “Nothing Can Divide Us” and of course, “Any Dream Will Do’.
Since then, he has rarely been away from stage or screen. Jason’s record-breaking run in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in the early 90s preceded his performance as Frank N Furter in the 25th Anniversary Production of The Rocky Horror Show, then Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Sound of Music, Annie Get Your Gun, The King’s Speech, Million Dollar Quartet and Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds. In December 2019 he was called home to Australia to appear as the charismatic and cunning celebrity lawyer, Billy Flynn in Chicago.
In autumn 2021, Jason undertook his first solo music concert in five years with his Even More Good Reasons tour which he performed whilst also filming the BBC hit show Not Going Out. Jason’s recent TV credits also include ITV’s Dial M for Middlesbrough and Dave’s Meet the Richardsons. In 2019 and 2021, Jason spent the summer months at the London Palladium as Pharoah in Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat followed by a nationwide UK Tour.
Over the summers of 2022 and 2023 he completed two consecutive runs as the Teen Angel in Grease in the West End. In the spring of 2022, Jason performed “Any Dream Will Do” outside the gates of Buckingham Palace as part of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Earlier that year, along with Kylie Minogue, he rejoined the cast of Neighbours one final time as Scott Robinson. In 2023, Jason donned his fishnets and heels to reprise his role as Frank N Furter for the 50th Anniversary of the production in Australia performing for audiences in both Sydney and Melbourne to critical acclaim. Starting February 2025, Jason will embark on his next solo music tour, the DOIN’ FINE tour which will span locations across the UK and Ireland.
