It has been confirmed that Jeevan Braich will return to the role of Rusty in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s STARLIGHT EXPRESS at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre from this evening (25 June).
Jeevan made his professional stage debut when STARLIGHT EXPRESS triumphantly returned to London last June, winning him the accolades Best Performer in a Musical at The Stage Debut Awards 2024 and the WhatsOnStage Award for Best Professional Debut.
Jeevan returns to the role in place of Gavin Adams, who is taking some time off from the show due to a recent shoulder injury. To allow Gavin the time he needs, the production is delighted to welcome Jeevan back to STARLIGHT EXPRESS and looks forward to Gavin’s return once he has fully recovered.
