With family members always saying \u2018go do something amusing for us\u2019, I had a contract to entertain them.\u201d<br \/>\nHis talent for wit and drama was honed further at school. On the one hand, as a self-described \u201coverweight\u201d child, he learned to make the class laugh before they could turn the laugh on him. \u201cThe minute you get that first giggle, there\u2019s no going back,\u201d he admits. At the same time, he was fortunate to attend a school where the principal believed that the drama students should have just as many opportunities to tour as the rugby stars \u2013 and so, by the time he had finished matric, Jonathan had already appeared in five full-scale musical productions at the Natal Playhouse.<br \/>\nBy now, there was no doubt in Jonathan\u2019s mind that he had found his course. And so, when he got the chance to audition for a production of Grease at the Barnyard Theatre, he wasted no time. This \u201csweaty audition\u201d, as he self-deprecatingly describes it, would give rise to one of the most important relationships of his professional life: not only did director Ian von Memerty, one of South Africa\u2019s entertainment icons, cast him on the spot; he would go on to become Jonathan\u2019s mentor. \u201cIan put me in the right spot, with the right people, at the same time. He shaped my work ethic; he taught me that working hard is more important than being brilliant, so I became a beast \u2013 and I found that the harder I worked, the luckier I got.\u201d<br \/>\nIt was also Ian who introduced Jonathan to Pieter Toerien when the duo toured the mogul\u2019s theatres with Ian\u2019s much-loved production, A Handful of Keys. \u201cIf Ian taught me about the showmanship of theatre, Pieter taught me about the business side,\u201d Jonathan reflects. With these two greats serving as the pillars of his career, it was inevitable that Jonathan would go from one curtain call to another \u2013 more than 20 of them, in fact, including not only concerts, plays, reviews and musicals, but also his own shows. (And, no, in case you\u2019re wondering \u2013 those nerves never fade, no many how many times you\u2019ve watched the curtain rise. In fact, Jonathan says that he has made a deal with himself: the day he can take to the stage without feeling terrified is the day he applies for a job at the post office.)<br \/>\nIt goes without saying that some roles strike a chord more than others. But, having faced turmoil as Che in Evita, terrified the audiences of the Paris Opera House as the Phantom of the Opera, and tried to woo a reluctant Belle as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast (his first main role), to name just a few, he confesses that his ultimate role would be one written just for him.<br \/>\nUntil that happens, he\u2019s (more than) satisfied with some of the moments of pure magic he\u2019s enjoyed on stage. His favourite? Key Change at the Montecasino Theatre. \u201cI was performing with friends in the band, and because I was telling my own story, I felt it was the most authentic I have ever been on stage. The audience response was phenomenal, which made me feel really seen. As a performer, you\u2019re always getting applause for pretending to be someone else. This time, I was applauded for being me.\u201d<br \/>\nJonathan\u2019s latest venture sees him returning to Montecasino; this time to the Teatro, where he\u2019s hosting My Favourite Broadway; a collection of songs from the musicals he considers most memorable. \u201cI have a connection to this material and to the theatre itself \u2013 I have performed here so many times.\u201d In fact, it was the site of Jonathan\u2019s last performance in a musical in South Africa, seven years ago, before he was whirled away for years of overseas tours and staging his own shows. As such, it\u2019s a homecoming \u2013 and he\u2019s eager for audiences to enjoy it as much as he will. The show has been almost a year in the planning, with costumes so flamboyant even his tailor \u2013 by now accustomed to Jonathan\u2019s whims \u2013 raised an eyebrow.<br \/>\nFrom here, he\u2019ll be travelling back in time to the 1920s, to help acquit villainess Roxie Hart of murdering her husband as slick-talking, quick-thinking lawyer Billy Flynn in Chicago The Musical, on stage at Montecasino later this year. \u201cIt\u2019s the closest I will ever get to fulfilling my mother\u2019s dream of seeing me become a criminal lawyer \u2013 I personally lost interest when I found out South Africa doesn\u2019t have a jury system so I wouldn\u2019t be able to perform in court.\u201d<br \/>\nThe court\u2019s loss has most certainly been theatre\u2019s gain.<br \/>\n<em>Details: jonathanroxmouth.com; @jroxmouth<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jonathan\u2019s wish list<br \/>\nAny roles Jonathan would love to try?<br \/>\n\u201cFirst off: Fagin from Oliver. What an outrageous character! The film was on TV all the time when I was growing up, so I can still see Ron Moody twisting his fingers. Also, I\u2019ve never worked with kids and, if there was a kid out there like me, in love with theatre, it would be amazing to play a part in getting them completely hooked.<br \/>\n\u201cFrank n Further in The Rocky Horror Show would also be great \u2013 no one would see it coming.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAnd, finally, Willy Wonka \u2013 Gene Wilder style \u2013 because I\u2019d be able to combine three of my greatest loves: acting, chocolate, and applause (if I got it right).\u201d<br \/>\nMY FAVOURITE BROADWAY runs at the Montecasino Teatro on Friday, July 25 to Sunday, July 27 and Friday, August 1 to Sunday, August 3, 2025.
