March 7, 200817 yr Doesn't wos have video? It's nice to see Darius Danesh included in the list above.
March 7, 200817 yr They've got a radio/audio bit too. I listened to various interviews on there. I wonder if they'll do one with someone from GWTW this month.
March 7, 200817 yr They also often do 20 questions with a West End star so maybe we should look out for one of those with someone from GWTW. Edited March 7, 200817 yr by Baytree
March 8, 200817 yr quote meg - - I really would like to find something good about D. I have been looking for ages but get the impression they have the same attitude as the tabloids especially after reading their board.
March 8, 200817 yr The board is only a few posters- not the people who run the site. They have also not seen D perform. Just ignore it.
March 8, 200817 yr We have to give them time to get over their shock. They've always made excuses to themselves about why Darius was cast in his other roles, anything, except he had the talent and was right for those roles. This time some of the theatrical world's biggest hitters have told them loudly and clearly that he won through against competition here and in America and that they have absolute faith in him. Seeing him up there at the Oliviers should finally underline the fact that Darius Danesh.............yes that Darius Danesh....... has climbed the greasy pole to the top of musical theatre in just over 2 years ( most of which he's spent in LA, not even NYC)
March 9, 200817 yr "Tonight Tonight" A favourite musical song but I'm not clear from which one. I'll take a stab at West Side Story.
