Snowdrop Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 What a lovely comment from someone who knows what they are talking about. I do feel sorry for all of the cast doing all of those extra rehearsals, but I'm sure they will be much happier to do it when it's someone like Gareth. :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks for posting Khelda, I'm sure the cast will love working with Gareth , and admire his gorgeous voice :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 What a lovely blog Khelda, thanks so much for posting it. My friend's grandson is in Joseph, he's worked with Lee for the last 6 months, and has already said to her that he is very excited about working with Gareth. It seems they all have huge respect for Gareth in the cast already, and realise just how talented he is. This is particularly pleasing, as Lee was also good, but Gareth will inject his own personal talent into the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks Carol, that is good to know that your friends grandson is looking forward to working with Gareth. Maybe you can find out more snippets sometime. :smile: We do know that people who worked with Gareth in the past really respect and like him, and I am sure it will happen with this cast too.

Suzie Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Really loving what this cast member has to say glad she is so smittend with Gareth who wouldn't be. Really can't wait until the third of march now a month away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but according to someone posting as a guest on the WhatsOnStage forum, Gareth is expected to go on stage tonight in advance of his official first night. There are often theatre insiders on there, so it's possible they know what they are talking about. If true, Gareth has less than ten minutes to go! :frantics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 That is great Snowdrop, someone has also posted on the OS site, she is a musical fan :smile: Btw, I'm not 100% sure, but I think Gareth will be on tonight already, as a preparation for his official opening night Edit: sorry Becky, didn't see your post. There were rumours going around the theatre earlier this week about that, so I'm guessing he is. Edited by marieken ( 3 minutes 38 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I think that's great. Gareth will get the chance to have a trial run, so to speak, before the pressure of everyone knowing he's on-stage. Hope it goes well for him and we get to hear how he did.

Maggiemags Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 SO excited if this is true! God, how I'd love to be there. Let's hope we get some reports if he is on tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khelda Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 A new member on the OS called Marieken posted these details how to get to the stage door to try and see Gareth. I thought I better bring it over here for some of our members who have the wish to do this. :smile: think I'm the next Joseph fan to stumble over this thread, thought I'd provide you with some answers too Originally Posted By: xxalicia Does anyone know how to get to the stage door? Stage door is easy to find. From the Strand you can either get to Maiden Lane via Bedford street (facing the Adelphi it's on your left), and take the first right (next to EAT). There are two stage doors in Maiden Lane, one for the Adelphi, on for the Vaudeville, but the Adelphi one is next to the Porterhouse, opposite the Australia shop and La Perla. Coming from Bedford street it's the first SD The other (easier) possibility is to use Bull Inn Court, a small alleyway halfway between the Adelphi and Bedford Street. Just follow that, pass the Porterhouse and you're at the stage door. (Alternatively, if you exit the theatre through the bar on the left side of stalls you come out of the door right next to the stage door. Useful to know for after shows ) Cast has to be in approx. an hour before shows, so if you want to stage door before show that's something to take into account. Usually you're fine if you're there about 2hrs before show, though (of course) I've no idea if Gareth usually comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I've just realised what the date is for his opening night. Isn't it the date 7 years ago he was in the Pop idol final. Hasn't he come a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I hope I am posting in the right thread. My friend, whose Grandson is in Joseph has told me that she has met and spoken with Gareth. She took a liking to him straightaway. Apparently during last week when Ricky was playing Joseph, Gareth was stood at the side of the stage inside , watching and practising his dance moves whilst singing at the same time. She has also emailed me this evening to say that there are a lot of bigwigs in the audience tonight, it's very important for Gareth that they are so interested, and rumour has it that ALW will also be there, as he expects only the best, even from his understudies. Those are her words, but it seems there is already a lot of interest in Gareth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 That's wonderful to hear. Thank you so much for letting us know. It's a big night for Gareth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I love that ALW requires a separate category from the other bigwigs! Such is his big-wig-ness. :hyper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Isn't it the date 7 years ago he was in the Pop idol final. Wouldn't it be co-incidental if it was. He sure has come a long way. Thanks Gatesgal for that information. What an important night this is for Gareth. I think this has made me even more fidgety (if that were possible). :frantics: I am like a cat on hot bricks :frantics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
