British singer Michael Ball also does an amazing version of Gethsemane.

The Woman in White London Revival Nov 30
2017, 11:41:56 PM
I agree with Jo -- I saw the original production (with Michael Ball as Fosco) both in London and New York, and really enjoyed it. Both the London and NY casts were excellent and I liked the projections (yes, I was thisclose to ducking when the train came out of the tunnel). The Broadway production was sadly plagued by illness, but I also believe lack of promotion played a role in the show's demise.

Hamilton in London Jan 16

It was pretty easy once I got into the page. I noticed some people had managed to get tickets before the noon start (London time) so I was a bit worried, but once I got in, and chose my date (May 201 , I got a decent seat in the stalls.

LES MIZ Sets Sept. 2016 Broadway Closing Date Dec 2
2015, 04:45:59 PM
windbelle said: "Overall I like this revival. It's not as great as the original but still enjoyable. And I'm not a fan of Ramin. I don't really care about bringing "something new" to the characters. I just want them to sing well, act well, and be in character, which not many people can handle IMHO. I've seen the revival for a few times and I haven't seen a Valjean I really love, so I'm excited John Owen Jones is taking over and really looking forward

Saw him play the role in London and again a few weeks ago in NY. Alfie has really grown into the role,and as you say Lizzie, his singing is phenomenal.

New Les Mis Replacements Review Thread Sep 2
2015, 10:51:36 AM
None of the fans I know who were there last night said anything about a planned standing ovation for Bring Him Home, but I know when Alfie has sung it in concert (mostly in the UK) he got standing ovations every time he sang it.

Also horrifying are the assumptions that he committed suicide based on his tweet about his last appearance as Valjean. More than one person claimed that tweet was in essence a suicide note. *rolleyes*

"If you regularly watch the historical shows and specials on PBS and the History Channel, his voice is everywhere. He'll be missed." I believe he was the voice of FDR in the recent Burns series on the Roosevelts. Very sad news.

Songs That Have Moved You To Tears Mar 30

"I'm not going to lie... I loved Ashley Brown's portrayal of Mary Poppins and I cried when she flew over the audience." That reminded me... the first time I saw Mary Poppins on stage in London, I found myself getting very emotional during Feed The Birds. This happened every time I saw the show both in London and at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Not sure why -- might be a nostalga thing, since MP was the very first movie I ever saw.

Bring Him Home -- reminds me sometimes of the night we brought my firefighter brother home from the hospital. He was dying (multiple myeloma contracted from working at Ground Zero)& his wife wanted to get him back home -- he died two days later. Depending on the performers, in Les Mis, pretty much from Little Fall of Rain to the end. Tell My Father from Civil War. I saw the musical at Ford's Theatre in WAshington DC and was fine, but sometime after my father passed away I
