Daniel Brocklebank will make his concert debut at the West End Proms this summer.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star won ITV’s ‘All Star Musicals’ last month with a stunning rendition of ‘From Now On’ from ‘The Greatest Showman’, and he will be part of two specials shows in July performing songs from seven decades of musical theatre.
Daniel – who plays Billy Mayhem on the cobbles – said: "I absolutely love performing and I am so excited to make my first stage appearance with West End Proms.
"Winning ‘All Star Musicals’ was a dream come true; I now can’t wait to sing live once again, on stage with this wonderful cast."
The actor will appear during London’s Green Music Time on July 4, and at Scarborough Open Air Theatre on July 5.
He is joining a cast made up of some of the top stage stars, including John Owen-Jones (‘Les Miserables’), Lauren Samuels (BBC’s ‘Over the Rainbow’), and ‘Hamilton’ duo Rachel John and Jon Robyns.
The West End Proms director Peter Taylor added: "This is the first time we’re bringing West End Proms to London and Scarborough and it’s going to be an incredible evening.
"This is more than a concert; it’s a show worthy of the West End and Broadway. We’ve brought together some of the world’s most beautiful voices complete with a stunning live orchestra. It will be an extraordinary night."
Last month, ‘Corrie’ star Daniel wowed viewers and judges on ‘All Star Musicals’ and admitted the programme was "one of the most fun things" he has ever done.
He wrote on Twitter at the time: "Sat here loving my fellow #AllStarSingers family. What a lovely, brilliant, talented group of people! This show was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. Terrified & thrilled in equal measures. (sic)"
Daniel beat off competition from the likes of comedian Joel Dommett, and fellow soap star Amy Walsh – who plays Emmerdale’s Tracy Metcalfe – and he is looking forward to taking the trophy back to the cobbles.
He tweeted: "Thank you all so much for all of your wonderful messages about last nights #AllStarMusicals! It was quite literally one of the best nights of my life. Still buzzing!! So glad to be taking the trophy home to @itvcorrie! (sic)"
