I've been a fan of Jason Donovan for a very long time. As a pre-teen my bedroom walls and doors were covered with his posters, and his cassettes were played over and over again. So when I heard way back in late 2023 that he was touring, and not only that would coming to very close by Worthing, of course I was first in line to get tickets!
At the time of booking we misread the details and were under the impression that the concert was in March 2024, so it was a bit of a surprise when I went to enter it into the calendar and realised that it was actually another year away. It felt as though we had been eagerly anticipating the evening for a very long time!
The venue for this leg of the tour was Worthing Assembly Hall. I had never been there before but am familiar with it because my children's school have used it for end of year assemblies and the like. I wouldn't have said that it was the most illustrious venue, not even out of those available in Worthing, but it exceeded my expectations!
We had excellent seats just a few rows back and so we had a great view. I have been lucky enough to see Jason Donovan perform in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat twice, first time around when he was Joseph and then a few years ago as the Pharoah, so Any Dream Will Do was a definite highlight. It was so funny when the audience sang along to the backing vocals, I think everyone knows it by heart from singing it at school!
In fact I was singing along for most of the night, it's amazing how all those lyrics are still there buried in my brain from listening to him over and over as a child.
I do love Jason Donovan and have done since I was a child. It sounds like you had a great evening and he put on a fab show. x
