The Filmed Theatre Version Starring @MrMatt Henry And @KillianDonnelly1984, Broadcast This Festive Season Knocked Us For Six With Donnelly’s Surprise Standout Moment of Heartwarming, Jaw-Dropping, Vocal Power, As He Revealed The Depth of His True Singing Talent During The Big Power Ballad ‘Soul of A Man’.
Charlie’s Character Up Until This Moment Gave Audiences No Real Indication He Was Capable of Such Vocal Skills. So A Kind of Cop-Out And Fade Away Neatly, Sort of Song From Him As He Started To Sing Was What One Expected. But Ho, Ho, Ho – Oh Hell No! His Vocal Just Got Bigger And Bigger, Better And Better, And Kept On Giving, Ultimately Climaxing With A Strong Striking Finish. Ending Up On His Knees! And Our Man Has Rhythm & Soul To Boot! Much Much Respect!
His Performance Here Contrasts Movingly To A Number of Performers We’ve Seen Over The Years Who Are More Well Connected Than Well Talented. One of The Best Things About This Production Is Donnelly’s Soulful Soliloquy And Just How Powerfully He Does It. Again It’s The Kind of Scene That Will Get You Again And Again And Again. Everytime. It Just Resonates With An All Powerful Humanity That Is Deeply Moving Because He Delivers It In A Way That Lets You Feel He Really Means It.
Donnelly Is In Fact A Prince of Theatreland Who Has Showcased His Talents In All Kinds of Productions Including The Phantom of The Opera, Les Miserables, And BBC1’s The Magpie Murders. He Has Also Been Involved In Discussions About The Future of Musical Theatre Education In Ireland.
Whether It’s Your First Time, The Second Time or The Umpteenth Time The Sky Arts ‘On Demand Catch Up Service’ Is ‘Now TV’ So You Can Kick Up Your Heels And Enjoy It Whenever And However You Want And Truly Embrace This Fabulous Thespian Piece of LGBT+ Iconic Film & Theatre Creativity, Which Is Actually For Everybody, Because It’s About The Power & Importance of Humanity.
