Tom: A Story of Tom Jones

Step back in time to the dance halls, working men’s clubs and recording studios of the ‘60s where the legend of Tom Jones was born: a Valleys boy with a heart-stopping voice who dreamed of making the big time, no matter what it took. Read more …

This inspirational story of self-belief and determination is performed live on stage by a phenomenal cast of actors and musicians, celebrating an ordinary man with an extraordinary talent who became a superstar on a world stage.


The critical consensus

A decent evening’s entertainment although if you’re expecting a compilation of Tom Jones’ greatest hits you may be disappointed.

***(*)(*)Mike Smith, The Edinburgh Reporter, 16/03/2016

The show ends with Jones' breakout hit, the build-up to which is a tease, despite there being nary a pair of knickers in sight. Given the show's subject, that really is unusual.

***(*)(*)Neil Cooper, Coffee-Table Notes, 17/03/2016

What really lets the show down is a criminally abrupt and crashing gear change when Jones finally makes it big and the story is abandoned in favour of a boogie with Tom’s greatest hits done in tribute-act mode.
