Star of I’m a Celebrity an the youngest member of the one of pop’s most famous families, Jimmy Osmond, will be making his West End debut in Grease at the Piccadilly this month.

Jimmy is the youngest recording artist to receive a gold record, achieving the accolade in Japan in 1970 at the age of seven. He achieved worldwide fame two years later with his classic ‘Long Haired Lover From Liverpool’, which stayed at the number 1 spot for five weeks in the UK, eventually selling two short of a million copies. A newcomer to musical theatre, Jimmy’s acting credits have included US television series Love Boat, Fame, The Great Brain and Hugo the Hippo.

Jimmy will be playing Teen Angel (the role immortalised by Frankie Avalon in the iconic 1978 movie) and will appear for a limited run from 19 January to 28 February 2009.
