Sorry :blush: It's just that I noticed there were a lot from when you were on holiday from the Lowry that weren't there, and added the couple that came in on Thursday. I've put it in Reviews TT - really really chuffed for him. I was steeling myself for the London critics, but they seem to have picked him out for praise :yahoo:

I've updated the Cabaret Reviews thread TT.

Part 2:

Is anyone else having trouble with Baby D?

Thanks for bringing that over TT. There will still be people who think that way, regardless of how many no.1 albums he has had or will have :cool:

8th October Will on Steve Wright Radio 2 12th October Will on This Morning ITV1

Funny you should say that TT - I just posted this over on Baby D:

It's up on their website now Chrysalis: BBC Breakfast ‏@BBCBreakfast Here is our interview with @will_young31 talking about his role in #Cabaret and his great german accent!!: http://ow.ly/dY4oM He managed to cram everything in that was needed. And once again you get the inane comments. the Beeb gives over 15 minutes at the end of their 3 hour show to celebs and you get someone Tweeting this nonsense :rolleyes: Grow up man. This is better :P

Thanks TT :dance:

It was very very basic Chrysalis. All the actors shifted the props around when they needed. Made use of metal staircases(like the one Will used on the summer tour) etc. and a couple of beds :lol: The orchestra had their own balcony onstage and were occasionally hidden with a curtain.

Having a good old wallow in the oldies again. Very much of it's time, the swinging 60s - from the musical Hair. I love I Believe I Can Fly :wub: My heartthrob of the time :lol: Another gone before his time: Died April 17, 1960 (aged 21) Cochran died aged 21 after a road accident in the town of Chippenham, Wiltshire during his British tour in April 1960 Thanks again :D

No he wasn't - here's a bit from his Wiki page: Thanks for doing this - remember all those oldies first time round :lol:

Thanks for that TT :dance: Promo in today's Telegraph - thanks to Gill on Baby D for the heads up: And to Abbie for the scan: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v479/Abbiej/Telegraph_zps43f1234d.jpg He's already "made" - this is just adding to his CV :funky:

Yess :dance: I phoned WHS and they haven't yet confirmed the Terms and Conditions. Hope it happens :D

Whatsonstage have posted up the production pix: http://www.whatsonstage.com/photos/theatre..._medium=twitter

Will's doing a book signing at Waterstones in Bluewater on the 19th October. Too far for me - hope we get feedback from those who go :dance: Looks like it may be the only one. Editing to add - there's another: In London and the day it's released:

Thanks TT - I've replied in the other thread. Bit good innit :yahoo:

Yep. This... :wub: Thanks TT. I too felt there was something lacking in her role - not quite as dynamic as I believe the role calls for. Will IS Emcee - the part suits him down to the ground.

It was great :yahoo: . I'm hoping they may reduce the ticket price in London as, on top of train fares etc., it would prove a very expensive night out, unless we go for the cheapest at £35. and sit up in the gods. I can't really see that happening though as it's only for a limited period but *fingers*.

Oh my. What can I say. Will was stupendous. I know I'm an oldie too but there were a lot of OAPs there :lol: I would much rather have gone to an evening performance but that was the only time that suited for my son to be able to go. I recall someone saying that her friend thought Will "didn't have much to do". Mein Gott!! He was in almost every scene and had 'bit' parts as the Border official and that rage scene before introducing Sally at the end was :o "All this anger is so exhausting". Cracked up at Two Ladies - how bloody good was that - the audience were in fits with so many people and animals popping up - even though it was just "Two Ladies and just One Man" :rofl: And the sausages :lol: The Money Song was another highlight for me - absolutely cracking. We were in the Dress Circle so couldn't really see all the facial expressions as well as those who sat in the stalls but , by god, he projected the character so well that you didn't need to see his face close up, and we had a view of the whole stage. In hindsight I should have invested in the opera glasses . Tomorrow Belongs to Me - what to say! Bloody hell. :o We did 'titter' a bit after If You Could See Her but the portrayal that Jews were not considered as human beings but nothing less than 'animals'. :( Michelle was OK as Sally but didn't really project the character as dynamic. Her vocals were less than perfect in the quieter parts of her songs but she coped better when she was able to belt. My son reckoned she had a great pair of legs but wasn't so enamoured with her vocals :lol: I wasn't sure if we were supposed to call out Happy New Year - what do others think? And he had to call out a second time from the window before he got a response :lol: Also when he asked a question of the audience no-one replied but I called out "No" along with a few others the second time. :lol: Can someone tell me what he replied in return after that - didn't catch it? I thought it was all very well cast, very basic backdrops with nothing to detract from the actors. Loved how the orchestra had their own balcony - and the entr'acte was great. The last scene was received with absolutely total silence by the audience - no titters or laughter - who, given their age would have fully realised the significance of it. I could feel my skin 'tightening' with emotion :cry: He didn't get a full standing ovation (people didn't stand until the last encore) but I certainly did stand up from the start along with a couple of others in the Dress Circle and they took four encores at the end. Although perhaps not as 'enthusiastic' an audience as other performances they were certainly an appreciative one. Someone called out "Bravo" after If You Could See her.... or was it TBTM. Sorry I can't recall now but the call was certainly there. I think the audience were totally moved by the whole thing - even if it didn't include standing up :lol: My mind's in a whirl so I may have mis-remembered some of it. I think I shall have to go again :yahoo: P.S. Oh... the willy scene raised a laugh or two :P And there is absolutely no need to mention Will's vocals...... sublime as ever. :wub: Oh and his German was very good when he was the Border guard. All good stuff to add to his CV :cheer: ... and our boy got the loudest cheer of all - so well deserved :wub: :heart:

Thanks TT. My turn tomorrow. :dance: You didn't wait at the Stage Door did you? Apparently he didn't come out tonight. Anne over on Baby D said that Rufus reckons they sometimes have a party after a performance.

I have to confess I don't know.
