Snowdrop Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Tomorrow is the first night for Les Miserables at the Bristol Hippodrome - quite exciting being back in the UK again. The theatre has their own Facebook page, as well as their own website. According to their Facebook page, some more tickets have just been released for all performances, so if you missed out before, or are considering another trip - phone the box office when it opens. 0844 847 2325 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 According to the Facebook page, to get to the theatre from Bristol Temple Meads train station you can walk 15-20 minutes, or take the number 8 or 9 bus (or get a taxi). They have also confirmed that the CD of the show will be (ouch) £20. But you can pay by card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbowns1 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 £20 is good the original london cast recording CD was about £22 (i think) it will be worth every penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Cameron Mackintosh was on Radio Bristol/Sommerset this afternoon chatting about Les Mis. He hasn't said anything relating to Gareth or the cast, but it gives background to the show and his involvement. Listen again - he's on at approx 10 minutes in, then 20 minutes in. The second part will be on tomorrow afternoon from 2pm - Listen here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorral Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 David Byatt Saw the show last night for the very first time! I was blown away. The cast, score, set were truly spectacular and by far the best thing I have seen at The Hippodrome. Well done all! And a special well done to Gareth Gates! What a shocker that was! I didnt know he was in the show, and he was awesome! Leeanne Sugababe Pendlebury Just booked tickets for august - STANDING UP! haha oh well at least i'll get to see it again! Just wanna say the cast are superb espc gareth gates who presens the role with such emotion its beautiful...John owen Jones is nowt short of amazing and I just LOVE lynne Wilmot...perfectly suited to the role....has to be wit...houtn a doubt the BEST production ever! And believe me i've seen a few Kim Darby A brilliant performance last night. Well done to everyone!! It's really a must see - John Owen-Jones is absolutely flawless, Gareth Gates brings a lovely innocence to Marius and the students led by Jon Robbins are really strong.

Val4Gareth Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 For anyone going on these nights Luke_Kempner So I'm on as Marius from the 29th to 31st of July at the Bristol Hippodrome. Would be great to see you there!! X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thanks for posting Val, it's a shame for anyone who has bought tickets for those dates . Holly Willoughby said on This Morning a couple of weeks back ( she'd been to her sister's hen night ) that Kelly was getting married at the end of August, so I presume Gareth will be going to Kelly's wedding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yes, I heard Kelly was getting married then, so was surprised that Gareth appeared to be on then, especially when he had some other time booked off for Southampton, but perhaps Gareth had to "wait and see" before he knew if he was allowed the time off. It would still be nice if Gareth told us about these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 It would still be nice if Gareth told us about these things! Yes, I agree. I would have been a bit peeved if it had been the week I was going. Perhaps if we all bombard him on Twitter asking him to let us know of any holidays in advance, he may take the hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Val I think that is a good idea, it probably does not accur to him, that it is important to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val4Gareth Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 LOL, I did try that when we had the unexpected absence in Edinburgh, but I think I was the only one. That's why we all need to do it at the same time. He might notice then. I've started the ball rolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
