Best Sellers

 

Michael Ball and Alfie Boe

Two of the greatest singing voices in the world unite to make unforgettable performances. World famous West End theatre star Michael Ball and outstanding operatic tenor Alfie Boe combined their immense talents to record the newly released album Together.

The pair met 10 years ago whilst working on a production of Kismet at the London Coliseum and became lifelong friends.

“It’s been my experience that there is only one thing I enjoy more than working with someone whose talent I admire and who constantly challenges themselves to try new things and keeps getting better, therefore making me work harder and try to be better, and that is to work with someone who makes me laugh, has my back and is a real friend. With Alfie I think I’ve hit the jackpot. This is going to be such a great experience for us and hopefully the audiences….bring it on!!!”. – Michael Ball

Join them in June 2017 when they hit the road for their Together Again tour playing a selection of fantastic venues up and down the land. Tickets go on sale at 10:00 on Friday 16th so set a personal reminder right now!
