It will be Lee's final week with the tour, which then takes a break before returning in the Autumn with Matt Rawle in the title role. It seems somehow fitting that Lee should conclude his run in the biggest role of his career (to date!) back where he started out on the follow spot at the Cliffs as a teenager doing work experience, with family and friends aplenty, not to mention his loyal fans, there to see him bring it home.
He also mentioned being back at the Towngate Theatre in Basildon with the 2026 Phantoms tour in September... he was certainly there last September, but no date has yet been announced for this year's tour. I'll keep my eyes peeled! Regardless of that, the show is definitely going to Essex - to Chelmsford on Sunday 11 October (two shows) and Clacton on Saturday 17 October.
Booking details for both tours can be found at Barnum and Phantoms respectively and you can listen to his chat with Ros below.
