eternal Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'm loving this Birmingham Post review Khelda http://www.birminghampost.net/life-leisure...65233-26157138/ Thanks for finding it. Nice mention of Gareth too. 4/5 is good. Did anyone manage to get the actual paper (as I couldn't get it)? I was wondering if there were any photos in it?

Khelda Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 At last I have seen this fantstic show too. :frantics: It was absolutely marvelous, loved every min of it. Mind I had tears running down my face for quite a while too, lol Loved the music, can't wait for the CD to be released, hope they do that soon. Gareth was fantastic , and I did spot him in a few of his other roles. :smile: It qas lovely meeting people from the boards too, catching up and saying hi. We saw Gareth come out of the stage door too, looking lovely, I taken a few photos. He was then running down the street with his hood up (it was raining) and clutching a bag of goodies. It was a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Yes, it was another brilliant show. Not that I expected anything else It was nice to catch up with you again Khelda. Sorry I didn't say goodbye, but I turned around and you'd gone. Don't know what could have been distracting me :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, and all went well for you to get there Khelda. It must be great to finally join in properly with everyone who has already seen it. Brilliant you got to meet up with Val too - and a quick audience with the man himself.

Khelda Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yes it was lovely. I think the show was as I imagened It, having seen little snippets, but still better. The music was so powerful on occassion, I had goosebumps. John Own JOnes is utterly fantstic, and I loved the singing of the girl who dies in Gareth arms. Still dont know all the names, lol Gareth was amaziing, but he could have sang more for me, even hubby said shame he did not sing more solos, lol But ofcourse he couldl only sing what the role permitted. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks for posting Khelda , I'm glad you saw Gareth in Les Mis at last, and of course you enjoyed it :heart: Great that Val got to see the show again also :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I loved the singing of the girl who dies in Gareth arms. Still dont know all the names, lol That's Eponine, played by Rosalind James. She's been my favourite female in the show every time I've seen her. Fantine is OK but Cosette I feel sings a bit too high and it sounds a bit shouty to me. The scene where Eponine dies is still my favourite of the whole show and Gareth gets more emotional every time. The way he sobs at the end is heart-breaking :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorral Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Another brilliant show yesterday,it was lovely to meet up with other fans from the boards.We saw Gareth after the show,he was happy to sign and have pictures taken . Katica had eventually persuaded her boyfriend to go to the stage door after the show with us.When she'd had her programme signed she stood back,even though she'd given her bofriend the camera hoping for a pic.I said to Gareth that Katica had come over from Hungary to see him in the show,he was genuinely pleased and thanked her.Katica told him how happy and amazed at his performance she was and she'd only ever seen him live once before in the pantomine last year.Katica was watching Gareth with the other people, ,I asked her if she wanted her picture with Gareth,he heard and came to her put his arm round her,the camera was thrust at me to take a picture. Here are a few pics I took of Gareth yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Brill photos. Thanks. I'm so pleased Katica made it again. It must be such a thrill for Gareth when he hears of fans travelling all of that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khelda Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 sylv65Les Mis was one of the best productions we have seen. Soloists all very strong and Gareth Gates as Marius was a revelation! Amazing. about 7 hours ago via web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 It's a practice run for the covers. So they are fully practiced if they need to take to the stage at short notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 A new member on the OS posted this: have to completley agree went last night to see the show had reservations about Gareth in the role as Marius having been a great fan of the show and having seeing Michael Ball in the original cast but have to say was completley blown away he was amazing have always liked him and his voice but his performance and his voice in Les Mis was in a different class all together fantastic , going on line now to see if I can get more tickets !
