THE star of Prince life story film When Doves Cry is to appear in a brand-new concert show.

Mark Anthony is starring as Prince at The Brewhouse in Taunton on August 24.

Mark performs all the million-selling hits recorded by Prince including Purple Rain, 1999, Kiss, Raspberry Beret, When Doves Cry, Little Red Corvette and The Most Beautiful Girl in the World.

David Halford, Managing Director of Artistes International Management said that Mark bears an uncanny resemblance to The Purple One.

He said: “If you’ve seen a Prince docu-drama on the silver or small screen recently, the chances are it was Mark playing the part of the musical genius.

“Since his breakthrough in TV’s Stars in Their Eyes, Mark has travelled the world bringing the magic of Prince to the masses: from Malta to Miami, Berlin to Barcelona, Zurich to Amsterdam and on to St Petersburg.”

A true Prince fanatic, Mark’s painstaking attention to detail promises what is described as “an unmissable theatrical treat which features the costumes, the moves and music that shaped a generation”.

Fresh from appearing in Channel 5’s biopic The Prince Story, Mark is presenting his biggest concert tour ever.

David said: “With so many hits to squeeze in, as the song goes ‘please don’t sue us if we go too fast’.”

Mark Anthony as Prince will be at The Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre in Taunton on August 24 at 7:30pm.

Tickets for the show costs £23. To book or to find out more visit thebrewhouse.net or call 01823 283 244.
