In December 2019, Jason travelled to his hometown Melbourne to star in the Australian production of Chicago playing the role of Billy Flynn, the defence attorney who can win any trial and usually represents women who have murdered their lovers. In spring 2019, he completed his Amazing Midlife Crisis Tour after 110 dates around the UK and in this summer, returned to Andrew Lloyd-Webber's production of Joseph & His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the London Palladium playing the role of ' Pharaoh' alongside Sheridan Smith who took the role of 'The Narrator'. During a break in December 2018, he found time to reprise his role of Parson Nathaniel for The War Of The Worlds 40th Anniversary Tour and was also announced as co producer for the Priscilla Queen of the Desert Tour, a behind the scenes role for him this time.
In Feb 2018, Jason embarked on his ‘Amazing Midlife Crisis Tour’ including 5 sold out nights at the Edinburgh Festival. Jason played 44 sold-out dates throughout the UK and a plethora of 80s festivals in the UK and Europe over the summer. In 2016 Jason embarked on his Ten Good Reason’s tour, his first for 8 years.

Jason has gone on to star in The Rocky Horror Show, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Priscilla, Annie Get Your Gun, Sound of Music, The King’s Speech and Million Dollar Quartet. This sell out 18-month run in 1991 produced a number one single and best-selling soundtrack album, and is still known for being one of the most successful revivals of all time. This combination became a natural transition for what was to become one of his definitive roles – Olivier-nominated portrayal of Joseph in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ at London’s Palladium. Music was always a constant in Jason’s life, as was his passion for acting and theatre. His debut album ‘Ten Good Reasons’ was the biggest selling album of 1989 contributing to impressive career sales of 13 million albums and 4 UK No.1 singles.
