Drew Reid
Drew as Luis in Copacabana
Drew once went on a backstage tour of the Grand Opera House. This went to his head and he took on the stage name of Lance Boyle.
He has played a variety of roles for any society that would let him, including The Voice of the Plant (Little Shop of Horrors) with Bangor Operatic Society and Moonface Martin (Anything Goes) with Fortwilliam Musical Society.
Unconcerned with the risks of being typecast, he played Big Jule in our 2004 production of Guys and Dolls and Luis the bouncer in our Northern Ireland premiere of Copacabana the following year.
In 2006 he played Parchester, the family solicitor, in Me and My Girl, just a few weeks after playing Horace Vandergelder in Fortwilliam's Hello, Dolly!
