July 8, 201312 yr http://blog.theatrebreaks.co.uk/ I couldn't agree more. Darius has EARNED his WE credentials.
July 9, 201312 yr Author He certainly is. I would still like to hear him sing a full acoustic set though
July 9, 201312 yr Me, I'd still like the tour of Live Twice and he can throw in the b-sides too. That would make me happy. Was that the complete cast list for FHTE which was issued last week?
July 9, 201312 yr It's just I didn't see any actor assigned to Holmes or Dayna, the captain. Surely although it isn't a large role, it's a pivotal one because he is the driving force behind Prewitt's "treatment" and he takes his wife for granted so she has an affair with the sergeant. I don't see how you could do FHTE without him.
July 9, 201312 yr Author I don't either BT . If they are following the gay as well as hetro relationships
July 10, 201312 yr Author I feel a bit like I did when we were waiting for GWTW. Don't want to see the film as it will be based on the book. It does seem to be getting things going better than GWTW. I hope it's at least half as good as GWTW ended up
July 10, 201312 yr It looks like they're drip feeding the publicity stuff to keep the show's name circulating on social network sites and such like. Sir Tim is appearing at a concert with Clare Teal this week. http://harrogateinternationalfestivals.com...e-bbc-big-band/
July 10, 201312 yr I have a feeling that Darius (Warden) will sing at least one of the jazz based songs from the show. In little potted cast histories on his site, Tim Rice writes "Darius' casting is a perfect fit for From Here To Eternity, as not only has he tread the boards in musicals before (Chicago, Gone With The Wind) but in 2010 he starred in the History of the Big Bands Tour, dedicated to the music of the Big Band and Swing era."
July 11, 201312 yr Author I like that in the photoshoot vid, he can sound so genuine and make you feel that his heart could be broken. Made me smile.
July 12, 201312 yr Good review for Clare Teal's "Another Language" which, according to the article, is Karen Holmes' theme http://broadwayworld.com/article/Teal-Sing..._medium=twitter 2 full songs down and both have been welcomed. You're right, Sue, it is all looking good and they haven't even started rehearsals.
July 12, 201312 yr FromHereToEternity @FHTEMusical 35m At 1pm we'll be releasing an album of EXCLUSIVE pics taken behind-the-scenes at our cast photoshoot! #AlohaEternity pic.twitter.com/Y4hUaQy07E https://twitter.com/FHTEMusical https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3...1586&type=3 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3...1586&type=3 - behind the scenese pics added Edited July 12, 201312 yr by prettyinpink
July 12, 201312 yr Darius is a deadringer for Cary Grant in one of those photos. I couldn't listen to Another Language because my browser doesn't support it. I've tried to update internet explorer so many times and it keeps saying it's done it but i'm still getting these messages. Computers, eh?
July 13, 201312 yr I thought that- he really has that bygone movie idol look- hope he does get to do aome swing.Jazz songs- his voice is too good not to have a couple of songs at least
July 14, 201312 yr I'd be disappointed if there weren't at least 3. Prewitt has the Fight The Fight theme and now we know Karen also has a theme, I'd imagine Lorene and Warden would have too, maybe Maggio as well. I think musicals always have duets, so I'd imagine there would be scope for one with Rebecca as Karen or perhaps even the drunk in the road bonding scene with Robert as Prewitt. The departure of Prewitt could open the way for a powerful emotion laden song. Just suggestions. It's a long piece and I guess it depends on how much they want to do musically and how much by dialogue. Whatever genre the music is, Darius has the voice and more importantly the control, to handle it well.
