Matthew Kelly's recent theatre credits include playing Pozzo in Waiting for Godot alongside Ian McKellen and Roger Rees at the Theatre Royal Haymarket and on international tour, Comedians for the Lyric Hammersmith, George in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at Trafalgar Studios and Troilus and Cressida at Shakespeare’s Globe.
He also appeared in the Theatre Royal Plymouth try-out run of Lend Me a Tenor, played King Arthur in Monty Python musical Spamalot and was seen in the West End production of Tim Firth’s Sign of the Times at the Duchess Theatre. He won the Olivier Award for Best Actor for Birmingham Rep's production of Of Mice and Men which transferred to the West End and subsequently re-opened the Old Vic.
Having previously enjoyed try-out success at the Theatre Royal Plymouth - including a Whatsonstage.com Award nomination - Lend Me a Tenor is packed full of classic farce, mistaken identity, double entendres and innuendo.
Here Whatsonstage.com's Joseph Pike talks to Kelly, who stars as Lend Me A Tenor's neurotic impresario Henry Saunders.
