Jonathan's performances are truly 'magical'. I met him in Snow White at Manchester Opera House, not only is he a lovely caring person to work with but his work had everyone watching in the wings every night, the magic table constantly drew applause and judging by the audience reaction, they love him! We have all been in awe since rehearsals...how does he do it! He's brilliant!
