Winning the second series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2008, George Sampson captivated audiences with his iconic street dance performance to Mint Royale’s remix of ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’ featuring an on-stage rain machine. Following his victory, Sampson immediately made his West End debut, portraying one of the lost boys in the hip-hop musical ‘Into The Hoods’ until its conclusion in August 2008. Demonstrating his versatility, he released a double A-side single, ‘Get Up on the Dance Floor/Headz Up,’ on November 24, 2008, with proceeds directly benefiting Great Ormond Street Hospital. Further cementing his early success, his dance DVD, ‘Access 2 All Areas,’ which included a documentary, music videos, and dance tutorials, was released on December 1, 2008, and rapidly charted at number 1 on the BBC Radio 1 Music DVD Chart.
From 2019 to 2022, Sampson garnered critical acclaim for his role in the acclaimed West End and touring production of ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’. He most recently took to the stage in the Easter Panto Tour of Robin Hood in 2024, continuing to engage audiences with his dynamic stage presence and performance skills.
