Westlife star Mark Feehily is set to make his West End debut later this month and is already being tipped for Broadway success.
The Irish singer, 42, will take on the lead role in a production of The Secret Garden at the London Palladium on 28 August.
Mark's first major theatre role will see the dad-of-one lead an all-star cast as 'Neville Craven' in the popular show when he treads the boards next month.
The Flying Without Wings singer's upcoming theatre stint comes after he and bandmates Shane Filan, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne wowed the showbiz world over the weekend - with a number of celebrities in the crowd to watch Westlife headline Wembley Stadium for the first time on Saturday night.
Coleen Rooney was amongst the famous gig-goers - sinking Guinness, singing 'Sweet Caroline' and partying with the Westlife lads until 3am following their milestone performance.
Ahead of Mark's West End debut, an insider has revealed top theatre bosses are so impressed with the star, a stint on Broadway could also be on the horizon.
"Mark is in hot demand for major theatre productions," a source exclusively tells the Mirror Online.
"His vocal ability has wowed theatre bosses and his first major theatre show this month is surely just the beginning. He's been asked to step forward for some major roles in the UK and abroad."
They added: "He's going to be fantastic in the Secret Garden and who knows what is next? He has a packed schedule with Westlife going into 2023.
"Their comeback has been an enormous success but more theatre roles are definitely on the cards. It is something that he's keen to do."
Mark has been a household name for over two decades now, following Westlife's instant success with their debut single single Swear It Again topping the charts in 1999.
The band followed up with 17 more number one hits – a record beaten only by Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
"They've been filling arenas everywhere else so it's a big deal for any band to play a stadium - especially for a band going over 20 years," Louis Walsh told us ahead of the band racking up another achievement at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
"But that's why people are going along, because it's the soundtrack to an awful lot of people's lives.
"They take time off, then they take time get back and [release a new record] - they love it! They really love it.
"It's not like it's a job to them. They just love it."
The former X Factor judge went on to explain the secret to Westlife's success - admitting he never imagined they'd still be going so strong when he first met them in the late 90s.
"They look like a young band! It's amazing," Louis added when discussing the lads' impressive career.
"They look the same, their accents are the same and they still love it - that's the secret."
