Jonathan Ansell to play Pavarotti on stage in Las Vegas.
Well done Jon!! Congratulations young man!!
"Tenormorphosis! Blond-haired, clean-shaven, 12st boy-band singer Jonathan Ansell is transformed into Pavarotti" What a job in transforming Jon! Check out the pics from the link!! Shame it's in Las Vegas...I would have liked to see Jon do this. But, I guess, when the US calls, it calls!! At a time when the world is mourning Pavarotti, it is a great thing to see a tribute such as Jon will give. Go Jon.

Those transformation photos are quite funny. It doesn't say when or where it's being staged yet. I'd be interested to see it. We quite often go on a holiday to Vegas in the Autumn, so it it's on when we get there, I'll check it out.

This is just a brilliant opportunity for him. He has been linked to musical threatre via rumour previously - Les Mis. But this takes him to the states & also it is using his classical voice. Interesting to find out how they are going to change him during the show. Initially his build is absolutely right for the young Pavorotti who was a fit good looking guy. So good to see that it is with a full orchestra.

It's a wonderful opportunity for Jonathan. I'm so pleased for him - he must be over the moon to get the chance to play his idol and hero!
And in Las Vegas - such great news. ![]() I cant wait to hear more details of how the show is going to pan out.

Compare with this pic and it does not take much more than a little hair dye
JA in ClassicFM Mag and a little bit on Pavarotti from Wikipedia Although there are lots of rumours about the ladies in his life or were they his secretaries

Of the 20 songs most associated with Pavarotti
Jonathan has already mastered, recorded and released 4 with G4 # "Nessun Dorma" # "'O Sole Mio" # "La Donna è Mobile" # "Volare" and 1 on his new album "Che Gelida Manina" Looking at this list if that is the basis for this show then it may not prove to be too strenuous for the voice but it is pushing it. At one of the last G4 gigs in Dublin the crew played a joke on him and he sang the words of the Ice Cream song to O Sole Mio - unrehearsed of course ... |

Oh wow! Looking at that list of 20 songs most associated with Pav.
The first 4 done by G4 are huge favourites of mine Nessun Dorma O Sole Mio La Donna e mobile Volare and these on that list - would be fabulous to hear Jon sing: Panis Angelicus, Ave Maria Santa Lucia E Lucevan le stelle Granada Funiculi Funicula And Che Gelida Manina is sounding wonderful on the new album. Fingers crossed after the show Jon brings out an album of some of these songs - it would be superb!

So at the end of the show he's transformed into Pavarotti. It reminds me of the Father Ted 3 ages of Elvis episode
