November 10, 20159 yr I 'kind' of agree, but i sensed that she was a bit nervous/ overwhelmed, & 'gabbled' a bit self conciousley, as a 'cover' & i felt a bit sorry for her, noting the stoney glare from J.Collins. Me!, i didn't expect to like her, but warmed to the vulnerable side &she seemed to possess an old fashioned decency, when talking abt her mother's values. Anaway, she's a good actress & that's all that matters! D should have been there to 'protect her'. He would smoothly' have given j.c, the attention & flattery she may still crave. As for j.ross, he's become so 'dumbed down' now, the show doesn't work well any more.pity he has mabey had little choice! Finally, given the advanced age of j.collins, one would have thought she could have shown a little more understanding & support-so it didn't reflect well on her either!
November 10, 20159 yr Author At least the cast of 'Funny Girl' enjoy working together. That's always good
November 11, 20159 yr Author Interesting to see that Nick, the man Darius is playing, was an inch taller than he is.
November 11, 20159 yr So how tall was Fanny Brice ? Ah, have found out. 5ft 6ins {and the real Nick 6ft 6ins} This is according to;- http://www.musicals101.com/brice.htm Edited November 11, 20159 yr by Bramley
November 11, 20159 yr Qn the Ross show Sheridan Smith sang a short phrase.....her singing voice is soprano, should combine well with Darius. But Christopher Stevens of the Daily Mail was not impressed by her interview. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...irritating-diva Hope he buries his knives when he reviews the show. On Broadway Nick sang a quick snatch of "Don't Rain On My Parade" ending with 'Mrs Arnstein, Here I go' in the scene where he succumbs and gets involved in the bond con.
November 11, 20159 yr https://www.facebook.com/126276610757175/ph...e=3&theater The tickets seem to be going quickly. They will be on general sale on the 16th. I'm looking forward to seeing Darius in this I'm not buying tickets until there's confirmation that I'll see Darius.
November 11, 20159 yr Author Darius is part of the cast who are in the extention of the play until July. N o one can guarantee they will be there every day. It's only a 12 week slot. If I do get to see him before then I will ask

November 13, 20159 yr Then it's time Darius answered the questions on this matter put to him directly by fans, if it's not under wraps.
November 13, 20159 yr Author BT he only came aboard the cast and crew for this music al just before rehearsals started. He is still trying to do things in Scotland as well - such as turning on the Ayr lights and some charity things. I think he just has assumed we already know what he's doing. He's a good man, he isn't holding things back from us, just very involv ed and busy
November 14, 20159 yr Author Looks as though a lot of people can't wait for 'Funny Girl' https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa=t&a...uh3BgavVmDHfxbw
November 14, 20159 yr The Ayr lights switcn-on by Darius and others has been cancelled due to high winds and public safety. The lights will switch on but no Darius. Glasgow also cancelled.
