Robert is exhausted. It's hard to have a role like that as a first major part

Thanks, Pam. The one I can see is upper circle only. I've not been up there yet.
:unsure: my only thought is Darius having till 23rd Jan off?? this is most odd, surely he should be on stage for world premier? or will he be on that night

Just because 2 sites have said the date is the world premier doesn't mean it is. Doesn't mean it isn't either. Darius deserves a week of though

 

Supposing this is true and the Darius goes to Hollywood one is also true and thus he is leaving when his contract ends in April, wouldn't it be more honest to do the show for this promotion with the cast which is likely to continue?

That's assuming that the promotion is true although it can't be completely right as FHTE has already had it's world premier. Also, if Darius leaves after April, he and all the rest of the cast have already been released as, even if FHTE continues, it'll be many months away in a different theatre.

 

Just adding that The Shaftesbury Theatre had already announced that they had booked a comedy to take over the Shaftesbury before any of them knew they had to close and Darius hadn't booked his break until after that had happened

this is very true, just had that same old feeling some how Darius was going to be missing on the very show thy may be making a big fuss about LOL as you point out, the theatre was only booked till April, and also Darius.

 

I was quite disappointed as I was reading until I got to....

The lead and ensemble cast are exceptionally strong, and are a significant aspect of what makes the show ultimately quite likeable. Established pop and stage star Darius Campbell is a knockout as masculine First Sergeant Warden. Fitting the tried and true description “tall, dark and handsome,” Campbell’s husky voice and magnetic presence make him the ideal leading man. It is no surprise to read that he has previously played Sky Masterson and Billy Flynn. Campbell will doubtless walk away from this show, as he did with Gone With The Wind, and straight into his next starring role.

He is very good in it. He looked tired yesterday, I wish he'd let on what he's up to
