This is all thanks to you. Without your support, I could never have dreamed of making this music video that celebrates our wonderful hobby.

I first dreamt of making this video, over two years ago. It's based on the Neil Patrick Harris Tony Awards song "It's Not Just for Gays". I tried to make it happen multiple times by asking musicians I know whether they could recreate the backing track for it. But it was an insurmountable task. Until one fortuitous day when superstar musical theatre director Dave Culling commented on a video offering musical help. By some miracle, he had already scored the song for something else.

With the backing track done, I enlisted the help of my friend Rich Savage to record my vocals and make them sound as listenable as possible.

To film the music video, I knew I needed to do something special. I hired a venue in London and called in a favour from my videographer friend Sam Houghton and his professional equipment. He is to thank for it looking so good. I couldn't have done it without my cast of friends as extras, Sam's colleague Joe Collinson, and lifesaving on-set assistant - Ben Moss.

And to cap it off, I had three incredible guest stars who really put the effort in to produce amazing cameos.

I really, really hope you enjoy it. Thank you for your continued support, I hope to keep having the chance to entertain you for years to come.

Actually yours,

Jon
