Whistle Down the Wind

Following its smash hit tour of the USA, a hugely
successful West End season at London’s Palace
Theatre, and of course, the original 2001 UK tour
which smashed box-office records, Bill Kenwright’s
critically acclaimed production of Andrew Lloyd
Webber and Jim Steinman’s Whistle Down the
Wind is set to thrill audiences once again.
An extraordinary and uplifting tale about the
transforming power of love, Whistle Down the
Wind is based on the beloved sixties film starring
Hayley Mills. It stars Jonathan Ansell, who won the
heart of the nation as lead vocalist in X-Factor
runners-up G4. His exceptional voice has thrilled
vast audiences, won him countless new fans and
made him a huge solo star.
In a twist of fate the bright-eyed and youthful
Swallow discovers a mysterious man hiding in her
family’s barn. When she asks for his identity the
first words he utters are ‘Jesus Christ’ ...and it’s as
though her prayers have been answered. While the
rest of the townspeople are searching for a fugitive
escaped from jail, Swallow gathers the town’s
children, who make a pact to protect their new
found saviour.
In a stunning combination of multi-award-winning
songs, powerful all new staging and epic
storytelling, Whistle Down the Wind is a record
breaking sensation that is both mesmerizing and
moving.
