August 23, 20177 yr I think it''s better to keep this one on the front page because even a cursory glance at topic titles, indicates there will be a DvD. It's only a day or 2 since the news from Darius himself via megham.
August 23, 20177 yr I think it''s better to keep this one on the front page because even a cursory glance at topic titles, indicates there will be a DvD. It's only a day or 2 since the news from Darius himself via megham. That's why I included dvd to the topic it gets people's attention and it's something else to look forward to and it indicates there will be one :D Edited August 23, 20177 yr by polly

August 25, 20177 yr Stoke Regent March 28 to April 1st First venue for Natasha and Darius http://www.6towns.co.uk/2017/03/review-fun...regent-theatre/ The on-stage chemistry between Barnes and Campbell is a joy to watch and comes across excellently on stage more so during their number ‘You are woman, I am man’ A special mention should go to Campbell for his performance as Arnstein, I honestly didn’t know what to expect of the singer of pop hit ‘colourblind’ but his performance is so far away from his popstar days and it’s refreshing to see him enjoy every second on stage and see just how talented a performer he is. http://northwestend.co.uk/index.php/profes...t-theatre-stoke Darius Campbell was also an incredible presence on that stage when he talked the entire theatre listened. His voice was endearing and humble but also deep and dulcet. He was completely perfect for the role and the chemistry between Campbell and Barnes was completely electric. https://whatsgoodtodo.co.uk/funny-girl-at-t...e-stoke-review/ OK folks, time for a tiny confession, I’ve always liked Darius Campbell, right from his small-screen appearance as Darius Danesh, singing reworked Brittany Spear’s hits on Popstars. With his charisma, vocal talent, good looks and larger-than-life stage presence he has found a natural home in musical theatre and was compelling as the intoxicating, but flawed male lead.

August 25, 20177 yr Aberdeen - His Majesty's Theatre - 10th - 15th April https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifest...ime-funny-girl/ Despite her famous predecessors which include Sheridan Smith, the actress handled the role with both passion and vulnerability. It is the latter quality which makes Fanny all the more loveable on her journey from a music hall singer to Broadway star. It is a story which her co-star, Darius Campbell, is perhaps familiar with following his stint on Pop idol. He first came to our attention in 2001 and has gone on to become a platnium selling artist, author, and film produce – before making his debut in Funny girl as Nick Arnstein. Smooth, slick, and every bit the rogue who stole Fanny’s heart, the pair gave a convincing performance filled with chemistry but more importantly, hilarity. An accidental slip on to Nick’s knee was clearly not part of the script and had both the cast and the audience rocking with laughter. Natasha’s powerful vocals made light work of classics such as Don’t Rain On My Parade and she had the audience captivated throughout. Her excellent sense of comic timing coupled with a fantastic cast saw a standing ovation. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/lifesty...-broadway-star/ Playing the role of Nick Arnstein was old TV favourite Darius Campbell but far from being a cameo appearance, he exuded charm and his voice was undeniably beautiful.

August 25, 20177 yr Edinburgh Playhouse - 18th - 22nd April Reunion for Sheridan and Darius http://www.fifetoday.co.uk/news/theatre-re...house-1-4424110 Funny Girl is one of the best productions I have seen on stage in a long time – largely due to the two actors in the leading roles: Sheridan Smith and Darius Campbell. While Darius Campbell is her perfect match in this production. He was excellent as the very charming Nick Arnstein and his singing voice is incredible. Many will remember the Scottish singer-songwriter when he first shot to fame with his cover version of ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’, but in this role he shows just how far he has come since those early days and the success he has had in a number of hit musicals has been well-deserved. https://www.edinburghguide.com/reviews/musi...usereview-17914 Popstars contestant and Incredible singer Darius Campbell plays with undeniable weight (and height) the troubled, once devil-may-care husband, Nicky Arnstein. Somber, seductive and supportive, he strides alongside Smith in a perfect performance. http://www.theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2017...rl-the-musical/ Funny Girl tells Brice’s story and focuses on her career as well as her marriage to Nicky Arnstein (superbly played by former Popstars contestant Darius Campbell) The film of the same name made a star of Hollywood legend Barbara Streisand in 1968. http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/culture/...r-ear-1-4426091 The staging is unobtrusively brilliant, the dance is exhilarating, and the supporting performances – above all from Darius Campbell as Arnstein, and Rachel Izen as Fanny’s mother – are flawless; and it’s hardly surprising that this gem of a show, starring a woman of blazing talent whose recent roles range from Cilla Black on television to Hedda Gabler on stage, is attracting capacity crowds to the 3,000-seat Playhouse, every night of the week. https://www.broadwayworld.com/scotland/arti...yhouse-20170420 Darius Campbell swoons in the spotlight as the leading man. A voice so divinely deep that the theatre trembles with every line. A talent as tall as his skyscraper height. He never gets left behind and matches wonderfully as the other half. http://theweereview.com/review/funny-girl/ Another famous face to appear in this performance is Darius Campbell, who is well cast as Nick Arnstein. It’s easy to be cynical about the casting of “names” in shows, but Campbell’s portrayal is immaculate – emotionally complex, charismatic, funny and moving. Edited August 26, 20177 yr by Baytree

How many of the above should be added to the pinned thread of FG tour reviews? Edited August 26, 20177 yr by Baytree
August 26, 20177 yr Add them all then please. I have pinned the review thread for you. I have also unpinned the official sites as it is most do not exist anymore
August 26, 20177 yr Thanks. Is there anything you can do about the picture thread. People have to wade through a lot of nothingness before getting to any pictures of Darius.
