Week Back / Ahead

As per normal Sunday, very quiet on here.

Just the same thread I done a couple of weeks ago, to find out if anyone went to see any shows last week or anyone going this week?

I have certainly seen my share of shows this week.

Monday I went to see the excellent Sweet Charity again, where Tamzin Outhwaite gives another brilliant performance, Mark Umbers was out.

Thursday I saw Hair for the matinee, I am getting to like Hair, but still drags in the middle.

Thursday Evening I checked out All My Sons, yeap a play, but as everyone on here and the media raved about it, I thought I give it a go and yes it was very good, David Suchet and Zoe Wanamaker were excellent.

Friday I went to see Enron, intrigued to see this show as it is well liked, but wanted to see why it closed on Broadway so quickly, I enjoyed it, first half better than the second.

Anyway what have you seen or going to see?

The Donmars production of 'Piaf' in Madrid (in the same theatre you saw 'Grease' at, POL). Elenor Rogers was again simply amazing and the show has sold out every night since April and it closes tonight.

Also to the premiere of a new Spanish musical movie in an open air cinema. Great fun with lots of free flowing free champagne and tapas!

Hope you enjoy Spamalot, Matt. One of my best mates and composing partner (Kit Orton) is in the cast. If you happen to see him at stage door etc, say hello from me!

The only show I've been able to get to see in the past few weeks was a local amateur youth company producxtion of Jason Robert Brown's "13" in Swansea. I saw the show on Broadway a couple of years ago and it blew me away - the score is seriously brilliant. And the kids last week did a great job - really enjoyed it.

Won't be seeing anything else for another 4 weeks when I get up to Edinburgh (major withdrawal symptoms lol). I would really love to get to Assassins at the Union Theatre but there's just no way I can get to London in the next few weeks.

Hope you get a copy of the new Les Mis CD soon, Matt. Strangely enough, I have a friend in the Les Mis tour cast too - in the Ensemble and first cover Eponine/Fantine (she was in the cast of my show, My Land's Shore, in Cardiff 3 years ago).

Her name is Rhiannon Porter. Here's a video clip of her singing Somebody To Love a couple of years ago, when she was just 16. The video is not the best quality but you get an idea of her incredible vocals even then:
