Jason Donovan Is Coach Bolton!

Manchester, are you ready to break free with Jason?

We can hear the squeak of trainers on the gym floor already! Jason Donovan is getting his head in the game as it has been announced that he will be playing Coach Bolton in the all-new production of High School Musical. 

Set at Salford's Lowry Lyric Theatre with on-stage seating and a basketball-court-style stage, this production truly means it when it says we're all in this together. Fans can expect all the classics - "Get'cha Head in the Game," "Stick to the Status Quo," and "Breaking Free" in an immersive setting.

Our Favourite Jason Donovan Performances

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat 

Pop-meets-musical theatre perfection. Was he the best Joseph? We'll leave that to you to decide, but in the meantime, enjoy this mega mix. 

Neighbours (Scott Robinson) 

A true soap legend, Donovan became a household name as Scott Robinson. Along the way, he shared the screen with Kylie Minogue - his on-screen and real-life co-star.

Too Many Broken Hearts

Donovan's breakout single shot to number one in the United Kingdom and Ireland in March 1989, cementing his status as a pop icon. Catchy, heartfelt, and undeniably 80s!
