I'm not sure if that's what he meant..... although he has written some music for a film! He told us several things when we met him at the Savoy but we will have to wait until he decides he wants everyone to know. You know Darius, things could change!! :D

Thanks BT ......as per usual, he has 'fingers in many pies'!! Let's see what order they all happen in and when!! :D Hopefully, he will keep us updated, as he says he will.....I wonder!! :rolleyes:

Sorry 'The Hissmobile'.....I told you I was hopeless!! :wacko: It's my elderly brain!! :D

Was trying to find a reference someone made the other day to an interview Darius was due to do but couldn't find it so decided to put this in here. There is an interview on U-Tube with Hayley Palmer (Chatalicious) - I found it through a link on Google news. It is 11 minutes long and was done yesterday. It is very interesting and informative about what D's future projects are. He is apparently off to LA today but will be back soon. If it is alright to do so, can anyone bring it over to here......I'm afraid I wouldn't have a clue!! :???:

Happy birthday Darius - hope you have an extra special day! Would love to be in the audience for Funny Girl today......it will be so emotional!! :snif: You've all been excellent - have a great time!! :cheer: xx

I read somewhere that Sheridan agreed to do this on the basis that it would transfer to the West End afterwards. I assume that would include Darius!? Julie

Hi BT........When they make changes to the book do they ever add new songs? I've read that Nicky doesn't have much to sing! Darius needs a 'big' song to get his voice really noticed I don't think that really happened in GWTW or FHTE! I hope that this will be the break he needs to get proper recognition! Julie

Darius was spotted sitting with Sheridan Smith at the 'Breakfast Club' yesterday so I would say 'Funny Girl' is fairly definite! :cheer: I do hope so - it is sold out until March and working with Sheridan Smith will certainly bring him back into the public eye. From there it is supposed to be transferring to the West End so he is certainly going to be busy!! After that......the album!!?? :D I can't wait to see him back on stage and that this means he is happy with life. Julie

I'm afraid it's 'Live Twice' for me.....a very tough decision!!

On first listen of the Dive In album, 'Incredible' was my favourite. I think I will have to go with 'Kinda Love' as my next least favourite! Thank goodness I will be away for the next couple of weeks so that I don't have to decide what order to put the other four in!!lol! Julie

'Girl in the Moon' was too slow and repetitive for me!

Hopefully, now that D's family have the good news that Avril is 'all clear', he will want to continue with his career and keep in touch with his fans more in 2015. Then we will have more to talk about.

Atm the closest cinema to me is 20 miles away in Braintree - I have been there before with my step-daughter so if need be I will probably go there! It seems some Odeon cinemas are showing it but the one in Southend isn't listed. I have registered to show my interest and given my postcode so hopefully more cinemas in my area may be included. Julie

Hi Meg I never like to post negativity but there have been some very negative posters over on Whatsonstage and Broadwayworld who have posted that they knew the cast recording was never going to happen. However, they seem to have been very quiet of late with all the positive reviews FHTE is now getting and from what Robert has now said, it seems that they were wrong! :D Surely if they are going to be releasing a cast recording just as FHTE is finishing in the West End, it must mean that FHTE has a future, whether touring or Broadway? However, I am very wary to believe anything until it is made official! Julie

There is a new interview between Robert Lonsdale and So So Gay with today's date and Robert has said that it now seems likely that there is going to be a cast recording!! :cheer: Also, I don't know if this has been mentioned but there is a 20minute interview between Darius and Rick Astley on the Magic website. Julie

Hi Pip.... Darius was definitely in the show on Saturday as several people have posted photos with him on Twitter. However, I have found on Google that he was performing in Cologne, Germany, on Monday night at the 'Lambertz Monday Night at Alter Wartesaal' (whatever that is!!). There is a picture on Getty Images. Julie

And the same from me :D Hope everyone has a happy, healthy 2014 with plenty of Darius events at which we can meet up! :dancing: Julie

No, I came back to edit my post again but couldn't find how to!!lol! I misread it.... It is the poster who has heard it is the Garrick.... I wonder if it is someone close to FHTE as he is a new Board Member. Julie

Someone over on 'Whatsonstage' has posted that Tim Rice has tweeted that FHTE will be moving to the Garrick!!! Won't that be wonderful..... it will be like 'old times'!!lol! :D :yahoo: Hope it's true! Julie

From Musical Theatre News - Sir Tim Rice has confirmed that FHTE has to leave the Shaftesbury in April, but if houses keep improving they will find a new theatre! :D Julie

Isn't he amazing.... how does he do it?? 23 minutes without hardly having to think! He should definitely be a politician :D I could listen to him talk all day...... Julie

As this review has yesterday's date does it mean that he actually saw the show yesterday? Because if he did he saw something different from me! I went to a preview two week's ago and really enjoyed what I saw and heard but when I saw the show again last night I was mesmerized!! I can't understand how anyone can say the first half is slow or it has something missing!! The whole cast are excellent and put their all into it - it is exhausting just watching them - it takes you through every possible emotion. I thought the beach scene was much more impressive - I think we can safely say that Darius and Karen have now found their chemistry/spark!!! :D I don't know if this is the show the critics saw on 'press night' (as Tamara Harvey said they are still making changes nearly every hour!) but I think that every possible negative they found has now been remedied. I thought it was wonderful and really can't wait to see it again! :yahoo:

Wow Meg.... that's great news!! :dance: Isn't he just lovely!! I hope it happens... just like 'old times' - can't wait! :cheer:

Good to have you back on board BT :D How do you find these things!!?? What is going to happen on 17th August???? :thinking: Julie

At last.... some positive news!!! Do you think this means that the long awaited album will be released for Xmas??!! I can't wait to see him on stage again. Julie
