DRAMA. with Connor & Dylan MacDowell27 Mar 2024

“Proper Suffolk Vibes” with Tom Francis

Connor and Dylan are joined by Tom Francis (Sunset Boulevard, & Juliet). Y’all, we’ve got London on the phone, and it’s ringing off the hook! You know him from being the bloody torsoed leading man opposite Nichole Scherzinger in Sunset Boulevard in the West End. Get ready to LOVE him as he prepares to make his Broadway debut as Joe Gillis in this thrilling Jamie Lloyd-helmed revival, which was just announced to begin performances in September at the St. James Theatre. We get to know all about Tom’s upbringing as a farm boy, when he discovered his singing abilities, and his time studying the arts in college. Tom also shares his love story with his girlfriend (and Sunset Boulevard castmate) Hannah. We talk Tom’s experience watching Will Chase in RENT: Filmed Live on Broadway, then getting to star in the show as Roger himself during lockdown. We were lucky to see Tom slay as Romeo in & Juliet at the Shaftesbury Theatre, and he explains why it was his most challenging role to date. We dive into One Day on Netflix (and Tom’s connection to Leo Woodall), Dune Part Two, and Tom’s latest rewatch of The Sopranos. You’ll love this proper Suffolk lad!
