The Australian production will have a new set design and choreography and even the storyline has been changed from the original London production.

Paul is enthusiastic about the changes as he has some extra songs and more stage time.

Previously, Paul has appeared in a range of Opera Queensland shows and has toured with the Ten Tenors corporate arm Tenorissimo. He currently performs in The High Cs, an operatic duo with soprano Leslie Martin.

While at CQCM in Mackay, he received the prestigious 'Most Promising Voice for Music Theatre' in 2007 & 2009.
