Roger worked with the students on their performance and gave great advice and tips. He followed by giving an inspiring Q & A session. The students also had the opportunity to sing with Roger one of the songs from the show, which was extremely moving. What an opportunity! Such an inspiring and fabulous afternoon. Thank you, Roger, we hope our performance makes you proud. Hakuna Matata!

We were blown away by Roger’s voice when he sang ‘He Lives In You‘- his voice was just amazing! We would like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to Roger for visiting us and inspiring us!

The curtain has gone up on the first evening of S. Anselm’s epic Junior Forms Production for 2019, The Lion King, with breathtaking sets, costumes and performances involving a cast of over ninety children!

'The children were also treated to a workshop with actor Roger Wright, who played Simba in the original West End production of The Lion King in 1999. Much to the delight of the Prep pupils, Mr Wright also attended the final performance when he met one of the two talented cast. Mr Wright was most impressed by the production, saying “I had such a joyful experience watching Bancroft’s Prep’s production of The Lion King: superb cast and awesome talent. I foresee some stars in the making!”

About Roger Wright

He made the smooth move into musical theatre by walking in the wrong audition room by mistake on his way to a TV commercial at the Pineapple Studios...

At the age of of around 5 years old I remember  discovering my love for music. I found myself captivated by the melodies and lyrics . I used to sing and emulate music icons..legends who my parents and Grandparents admired .

As I grew older, I discovered the joy performing in school plays, where somehow I ended up playing leading roles. I definitely know that my primary school had a big part to play in what I do for a profession today.

During my modelling career, I formed the pop group ‘Fresh’ alongside my brother, Steven. We released two singles, ‘Feel My Rhythm’ and ‘Did I Say Tiamo,’ signed under the Magnet/East West recording label. Following the ‘Fresh’ project I moved back into the fashion industry for a few more years…

… One day, my agent sent me to go to a  TV commercial casting at Pineapple Studios in London. The receptionist sent me into the wrong audition room by mistake where they were casting for  two musicals Hotstuff and Sweeney Todd..

Even though I knew I was in the wrong room I cheekily told the director (Paul Kerryson) that I could sing to my surprise Paul Kerryson and the musical director Julian Kelly invited to audition. Little did I know that this would mark the beginning of my remarkable journey in musical theatre performing. I landed the lead role of ‘Joe Soap’ in the show ‘Hotstuff’ at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, and from there, momentum grew. 

I went on to portray Cab Calloway in ‘The Blues Brothers,’ musical touring across the UK and Germany. My West End debut was playing the role of the adult ‘Simba’ in the original cast of Walt Disney Theatrical’s ‘The Lion King.’ 

Performing a leading role in a brand new show  as big as The Lion King was a huge responsibility, but the experience was something I will cherish forever. I graced the stage for three and a half years, performing to over three million audience members at my time with the company.

Following ‘The Lion King,’ I reprised the role of Simba in ‘The Legend of The Lion King’ at the Disney resort in Paris.From there, I took on the role of Marvin Gaye in the ‘Dancing in the Streets,’ tour with Motown legend Martha Reeves. The show eventually opened at the Cambridge theatre in the West End, I performed with the show for another year in the west end.

Following my time in, ‘Dancing in the Streets’ I was the show compere and one of four principal vocalists in the Michael Jackson west end show ‘Thriller Live,’ celebrating the music of the legendary Michael Jackson. 

  National TV came about by auditioning for the Andrew Lloyd Webber/ITV studios casting show ‘Superstar,’ I landed third place.

I still love performing I discovered I the realm of writing producing, and directing. I created two shows: ‘You Can Do It‘ and ‘The Feel Good Show.’ These projects allowed me to create ‘Feel Good’ experiences for audiences. 

Currently, I am writing and recording new original songs. One of my recent releases, titled ‘Peace and Love Around the World,’ carries a message of unity and hope. I also perform regularly with my band.

I would like to share what I have experienced  in the entertainment industry so far with artists who need a helping hand …

I enjoy seeing  people shine and succeed in their dreams if you need some guidance embarking in the entertainment industry get in touch

Thank you for visiting

Best wishes

Roger
