Leo Humphries on stage
And his role in the live orchestrated version of the animated classic means he gets to sing one of the most famous Christmas songs of all time.
A hugely talented young performer, Leo Humphries has impressed in a number of local productions in the past few years, with his star turn as the Artful Dodger in Oliver at the Tyne Theatre in 2023 helping to earn it a five-star review from The Chronicle, before he then took the stage in North Shields as Chip in Beauty and the Beast.
