{"product_id":"9781784183660","title":"Michael Ball: The Biography","description":"Michael Ball is more than a Laurence Olivier Award winner and multi-platinum recording artist; he holds the unique status of being Britain's foremost musical theater actor. Testimony to his success is the huge cult following he has built. . . not least among theater audiences. From his debut in London's West End, with a superb performance in the original 1985 cast of \u003ci\u003eLes Miserables\u003c\/i\u003e, to unqualified acclaim in \u003ci\u003eAspects Of Love\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePassion\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChitty Chitty Bang Bang\u003c\/i\u003e, and more recently in \u003ci\u003eHairspray\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSweeney Todd\u003c\/i\u003e. Michael's silky smooth voice and boyish charms have seduced audiences everywhere, a popularity that has led to more than 15 sought-after solo albums and the hit single \"Love Changes Everything.\" Television and radio have not been slow in courting his talents, from his first flirtation with the small screen and a rather embarrassing appearance in the ITV soap \u003ci\u003eCoronation Street\u003c\/i\u003e to hosting his own successful chat shows. He even represented Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1992. Andrew Lloyd Webber, understated as ever, joked: \"He's a top man at what he does—and he has a rather nice taste in Savile Row suits.\" But there is so much more to Michael than curly-haired smiles and smartly-dressed dulcet tones. In this first ever biography of the star, author Willie Robertson provides a comprehensive and compelling insight into the legend that is Michael Ball. A must read for any fan!","brand":"John Blake Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131498774768,"sku":"9781784183660","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781784183660_p0.jpg?v=1763725396","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781784183660","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
