Rhydian Roberts, of X Factor fame, is to realise one of his dreams by appearing as Parson Nathaniel in Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Appearing with Liz McClarnon of Atomic Kitten and performing the much loved The Spirit of Man track from the musical, Rhydian will have a full makeover including changing his trademark white hair to a darker look.
In a recent interview, Rhydian said "My dream has always been to appear in a musical which tours large arenas, and I’m very excited to be joining such an incredible cast for The War of The Worlds 2010-2011 Tour".
Rhydian claims to be a big fan of the musical and is looking forward to appearing next to a hologram of fellow Welshman, Richard Burton.
