David Hunter is In The Frame!

David is starring as Matt Flamhaff in the premiere of 13 Going on 30 The Musical. The show is about to kick off its run at the Manchester Opera House, reuniting David with Lucie Jones who he starred alongside in the West End production of Waitress.

13 Going on 30 is based on the 2004 movie starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. The musical is written by the film writers Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa with songs by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner. Andy Fickman directs with choreography by Jennifer Weber.

David burst onto our screens when he competed for the role of Jesus in ITV’s 2012 talent show Superstar. As well as playing Dr Pomatter in Waitress, he has starred as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots (Adelphi Theatre), Guy in Once (Phoenix Theatre) and, most recently, Henry in The Time Traveller’s Wife (Apollo Theatre).

His other theatre credits include One Man Two Guvnors, Songs For A New World, If/Then and Seussical.

David was in the band Reemer and has gone on to write, record and perform his own music. He’s also penned a couple of musicals, designed merchandise, hosted a podcast, and taken on all sorts of different projects. David has previously co-hosted The West End Frame Show, but this is his first time In The Frame!

Recorded in the 13 Going On 30 rehearsal studio, David discusses all-things 13 Going On 30, including why the show has been a healing experience and what it’s like to be directed by Andy Fickman. David also reflects on some tricky times in The Time Traveller’s Wife and Kinky Boots, how things have changed career-wise since becoming a father, why he loves taking on different creative projects and lots more. It's a fun and honest conversation.

Solomon Davy is playing Chad Manford in the UK premiere of The Code by Michael McKeever.

The play is running at Southwark Playhouse Elephant, with Solomon starring alongside Tracie Bennett and John Partridge. The Code unfolds over a fictional yet hauntingly plausible cocktail hour that quickly spirals into a tense psychological battleground — where fame, identity, and survival hang by a thread.

After training at The Wilkes Academy, Solomon burst into the industry making his West End debut as Kenickie in Grease at the Dominion Theatre. He also played Christian in Clueless’ pre-West End showcase run in Bromley and toured the UK as Link in Hairspray. Solomon has performed pantomimes in Wimbledon, Bristol and Woking.

Recorded during rehearsals, in this episode Solomon discusses all-things The Code as well as why Wilkes Academy was the right place for him to train, his relationship with singing and how things have changed for him quickly over the past couple of years.

The Code runs at Southwark Playhouse Elephant until 11th October. Visit www.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk for information and tickets.
