REGARDED as Britain's leading musical theatre star, Michael Ball returned to Liverpool on 19 April 2015, to perform at the Auditorium. This visit was part of a tour he is doing ahead of the release of his 19th solo album called:- ‘If Everyone Was Listening.’ For fans, it is hard to think that is was 25 years years ago since he started out in musical theatre productions in the West End, with his West End debut as Marius in the original London cast of Les Misérables. That lead on to other major shows including taking to stage on Broadway (USA), as Count Fosco in 'The Woman in White.' Not forgetting in the same year he also preformed in New York City Opera's 'Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience' as Reginald Bunthorne. Plus he now has a hugely successful radio broadcasting career which includes his own show, Sunday Night with Michael Ball. This multi-platinum recording artist and a hugely popular radio and TV presenter was going to deliver an amazing show and that is just what he did! His show had him performing an energetic rendition of 'Avici’s Wake Me Up' at the start and then it just got better and better! The Auditorium also provide to be the perfect venue in Liverpool for this event, thanks to its more intimate feel.
