Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood in Newtown
Strictly Come Dancing star Craig Revel Horwood will be bringing his national tour to Newtown for an evening of music, dance, drama and unforgettable stories.
Craig is most famous for being the hit BBC show's longest serving and only remaining original judge after its launch in 2004.
The Australian-born star is promising fans a night of 'fab-u-lous' glamour, behind-the-scenes tales from the Strictly set, and big songs from his album, titled 'Revelations: Songs Boys Don't Sing', at The Hafren theatre on May 16, 2026.
The undisputed king of the glitter ball released his first album last year which features ' Don't Rain On My Parade ' from Funny Girl, ' On My Own ' from Les Misérables and, amongst many others, ' Little Girls ' from Annie, a song that Craig has sung in many productions playing Miss Hannigan.
Craig said: 'Throughout my musical journey, I've had the privilege of performing as both a dancer and a singer in numerous musicals. However, this album holds a special place in my heart as I've had the opportunity to select songs that truly resonate with me.
'Each track on the album is traditionally associated with female singers, which presented a delightful challenge. I embraced this opportunity to record these songs, knowing that it might be my only chance to give them my own interpretation.
'The album is a perfect blend of drama, pathos, romance, and a touch of high camp. I've poured my heart and soul into every note, hoping that you will love each and every song.
Tickets go on sale Friday (June 27) from 10am. Regular tickets cost £36, VIP tickets are £54 and Meet and Greet tickets are £85.

Home and Away Tug star hasn't aged a day three decades later with lookalike son
Home and Away actor Tristan Bancks is best known for his role as Tug O'Neale on the popular Australian soap and, since leaving the show, has landed a string of impressive roles From its debut in 1989, Home and Away became a must-watch for soap fans With its gripping plotlines and the beautiful backdrop of Summer Bay, it's no wonder audiences continue to enjoy the Aussie soap after more than three decades. Over its impressive 36-year run, Home and Away has seen a host of stars grace its screens, including Tristan Bancks, who played the character Tug O'Neale. From 1992 to 1994, Tristan was a regular fixture on the soap, having been chosen from among 200 hopefuls for the role. As Tug, Tristan found himself at the heart of numerous high-profile storylines, tackling issues such as mental health and bullying. However, after two years, he decided to step away from the show to explore new opportunities. After leaving Home and Away, Tristan, now 50, relocated to London for a short time where he secured several presenting roles, including hosting the game show Don't Try This At Home. Upon his return to Australia, Tristan resumed his acting career, with roles in the short film Dust and the 2002 feature Beneath Clouds. He has also ventured into directing, with his short comedy Soar being showcased at both the London Film Festival and Melbourne International Film Festival, reports OK!. Tristan seemingly remains ever-youthful, and has carved out a successful career as an award-winning author, penning popular children's and young adult books such as Two Wolves, The Fall, and Detention. His latest work, Scar Town, hit the shelves recently, with Tristan attending a flurry of book launch events. With over 5,000 followers on Instagram, the ex-soap star frequently offers glimpses into his life as a writer, sharing moments from writing retreats, literary talks, and book festivals. Beyond his professional achievements, Tristan enjoys a private life with his partner, editorial and wedding photographer Amber Melody. The couple are proud parents to two sons and although he keeps much of his personal life under wraps, Tristan occasionally shares heartfelt posts about his family on Instagram. He posed with one of his sons for a picture on Instagram in September last year, saying: "First Father's Day with my eldest son living away in Melbourne. Missed him a lot but he's doing great things. And I did get to have lunch with my youngest son and his girlfriend and my mum and her husband. And my beautiful wife who I've been lucky enough to bring up our two fine boys with. Also, Lego!" And one Valentine's Day, he shared an affectionate post for Amber, referring to her as the "love of my life". His Instagram caption read: "Happy V Day to the love of my life, Amber Melody. [man and woman in love emoji] Great start to the day with brownie pain au chocolate and croissant French toast (breakfast of champions) at @bambam_bakehouse. :)." In another heartwarming post, Tristan uploaded a photo with his sons during a magical trip to Disneyland Paris, expressing that travelling with his family is his "favourite thing to do." His books have won and been shortlisted for many awards, including a Children's Book Council of Australia Honour Book, the Prime Minister's Literary Awards, and the YABBA children's choice book awards. Scar Town was named the Children's Book Council of Australia's Book of the Year for Younger Readers. But his talents don't stop there, as Tristan's website reports that "he is currently working with producers to develop a number of his books for the stage and screen."
