Last Saturday, Amzi travelled to Manchester, to support the show and see the debut performance of the UK touring production in the opening city. But when the actor who plays Lonny on tour, Stephen Raman-Hughes, and his understudy Chris Southgate, unfortunately both suffered injuries, Amzi was asked to step into the role he understudied in the West End. Rising to the challenge, Amzi undertook last-minute rehearsals with the touring company and took to the stage on Monday 5thMay. He will perform at the tour’s Press Night performance tonight, Tuesday 6th May. It is not yet known when Rahman-Hughes or Southgate will return.
