Pretty exciting news, a terrific production that ran for 2 years in the West End. For those that did not catch it, it's basically an exact replica of the 2001 Broadway revival.
The actor who plays Billy Lawlor, Ashley Day, was so ill he couldn't perform for the recording so, his understudy, Phillip Bertioli, went on instead for the recording. I feel bad for Ashley because it he missed a chance to have his performance be preserved but, what an opportunity for Phillip.
