- This week Dannii Cohen talks with Julian Essex-Spurrier who begun his West End career in Starlight Express as a Rocky while also covering various roles including Rusty.
He also performed the leading role of Tony in Saturday Night Fever and Rocky Horror in The Rocky Horror Show.He also starred in West Side Story, The Full Monty, Miss Saigon, Pippin, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Rent.
In 2018 Julian founded "That Entertainment company" for which he produces events like That 80's night and An Evening of Dirty Dancing" aIn which he performed with his wife; fellow actor and singer Renee Montemayor.
Next to discussing his theater roles we dive into various subjects including his opinion on the new Starlight Express, mental health and the many problems that come with having a career in stage acting.
P.p.s. your anxiety dreams! Especially the one about being in CATS! 😂
Julian as your wife I'll always be biased and one of your biggest fans but putting that aside and speaking on a completely professional level I have to tell you (and the world) how much I admire you and your talent , and you know me with my honest critiques!
You have always been the consummate professional and always give 110% not only in all your performances but also when setting up our own gigs and being a producer and quite frankly in everything you do. You're always exhausted because you give so much more than most people! It's really astounding , if only people knew the extent of what you do!!!
I'm so proud of you and all you've achieved thus far and I actually hope that you'll get some time off from your business to actually fulfill your other ambitions like the stage plays and more. Selfishly I also miss watching you on stage shining so bright.
And my god your voice! I am in constant awe of it, you sing and dance with such passion, precision, clarity, soul. I have always been in love with not only you but your talent which is what made me notice you all those years ago! Please record an album at some point!!!
Finally, I i don't know if you know that working with you on your production company and all the gigs that we perform in together has really constantly forced me to up my game because you set the bar so high so performing with you is both an honour and a joy but also sometimes quite intimidating, and yet awe inspiring.
So proud of you and all you've achieved, including being a great dad to our daughter and my constantly loving and supportive husband. Love you always. Please keep growing into whatever your heart dreams of next and keep shining your beautiful powerful light and let's keep singing and dancing, (andlaughing!) together into our old age and forever!
Your wifey x
(And boss 😄) Xxx
P.s. OMG where did all that come from? Sorry this all just spilled out of me. I didn't plan on writing this essay, it's just all truth, and now I'm all teary. Sorry to everyone reading this! X
