More recent theatre credits include Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes at Sheffield Crucible, Nicki Marron in The Bodyguard at the Adelphi Theatre and Velmi Kelly in Chicago at the Adelphi Theatre. Krysten Cummings played Mimi in Rent on Broadway, and originated the role in the Canadian and West End productions.

Damien's professional singing career has included working with artists including Tom Jones and Professor Green.

The concert will take place on Monday 25 January 2016 at the Lyric Theatre, where the cast will perform some of Larson’s most iconic songs, uncover some of his lesser known earlier work and reflect on how he has influenced them and their careers.
