I feel a very rich man indeed for this wonderful musical that still has relevance today, despite its age.
I also feel rich for having seen him perform the role on stage.
Right, best find me a seat near the Eastern Wall.

Well, that was lots of fun. Quite frankly, I couldn't have enjoyed that any more that I did.
Thank you mattnyc for the ticket.
I've actually never watched a full series of Bake-off and thus have not become attached to any of the bakers and their back stories or personal journeys.
I have seen several episodes of An Extra Slice.
But I have seen enough get all of the references.
I found this to be not only be enjoyable, but well thought through and constructed. Clever lyrics.
Simple, yet effective sets.
For what it was, I would throughly recommend this.

Are there any plans for a new cast recording? I'd find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be. Don't forget they'll be a whole new demographic discovering the piece for the first time. It's not unlike Disney re-releasing all of their animated classic films for a new generation every 7 years or so.

I guess Cameron Mackintosh has an excuse to drag out his multi-million dollar animatronic pig that's been hiding in a shed somewhere in the English countryside all these years and get her working again.

In the stage adaptation I saw, Frollo's brother Djan (I think his name was) is seen. It's all explained in the prologue of the cast recording. Quasimodo is Djan's son after a reckless affair, left to Follo's care on his deathbed and it's because of his deformities that Frollo locks Quasimodo up in the bell tower, out of sight. Jehan That's it! Jehan.

I have seen both the film and read the book, of which I still have copy but in truth, it was so long ago that I can't remember the actual story. I vaguely remember a black transvestite, a death/murder and an underlying gay thread of the storyline
I do remember that the film had Kevin Spacey, Jack Thompson and (a very young- in fact I think one of his first roles) Jude Law.
For me, Jason Robert Brown is the new Sondheim and I love most of his work. I even m
I have seen him in concert, twice at The Palladium. I also saw the concert of Honyemoon in Vegas with Samantha Barks, Arthur Darvil, Norm Lewis and Maxwell Caufield.
The Last 5 Years, The Bridges of Madison County, Parade, Honeyoon in Vegas- all (simply) brilliant!

You know possibly it's the way my brain works but every time (I mean very single time) I see Ashley Banjo, with that trimmed moustache I can't help think of the animated image of Jafar from Aladdin

I know it's been said on here many times but that case recording is simply glorious.
Even with the song A Guy Like You being cut.

Without him in the role, it is unlikely the show would have transferred. Whether or not his star power brings in enough theatregoers for the show to do well financially remains to be seen, but he is the foundation upon which the show's hopes for success are built. Got a gut feeling- at this stage there nothing to support this- again, just a gut feeling, this will be pro-shot.

As I type this i am on a hotel room in Belfast.
Today I walked past the Grand Opera House and rather excitedly (frustrating if truth be told) a semi-professional production of this is being staged from Mar 7- 11 March.

Gaston used Antlers in all of his decorating, they've done similar with the thing that killed all those deers with antlers That’s a stretch isn’t it? Hmm, possibly

The concept album was released in 1999 prior to the show's new/pre-Broadway production in Chicago (which was a disastrous hybrid of the Atlanta production and the eventual Broadway production). Yes, that date line makes sense because in 2000 Sydney hosted the Olympics and I remember the building I was working in was supposed to be a major security centre and I hate sports so I left and went the UK and New York with a friend, and we saw the show on our last night. (Again) from memory when Amneris sentenced them to death the lovers were singing and holding/caressing each other as the sand poured into the tomb and panels slid across till eventually the tomb filled till there was nothing and then the met each other in the museum as the show had started.
