Interview: Joel Harper-Jackson, M in C * C K & Charlie in Kinky Boots

Posted by

Joel Harper-Jackson is back In The Frame to discuss his whirlwind year in theatreland.

Early this year, Joel was cast as an understudy in Marianne Elliott’s West End revival of C * C K by Mike Bartlett. Joel went on for the role of M multiple times, including half-way through the first preview, due to the indisposition of Taron Egerton. Joel went on to take over the role full-time to huge acclaim, and is now nominated for a WhatsOnStage Award for Best Takeover Performance.
