Snowdrop Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I found this on the Les Miserables Facebook page from a couple of days ago. Imi Sherry I saw it at the Queen's Theatre on Monday night and I still can't believe how good it was. We had the under study for Jean Valjean and he was incredible and as for Gareth Gates as Marius.. I had shivers down my spine from the first to the last note of empty chairs at empty tables :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Reports from here seem to be few and far between compared with the tour, but I found this on twitter 2184ali @Gareth_Gates just saw gareth in les Mis in London. Saw him in Birmingham too. Such a powerful voice And very moving performance xx about 20 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Can anyone remind me of the dates Gareth is appearing in Les Mis at the Queens please?

cris Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 went to see les mis yesterday met gareth and as usual he was running late ha ha but found time for a chat and a photo he was very charming as usual and very georgious during the show the couple sat next to me said that carnt be gareth gates and they were amazed how good he was we then went on to have the conversation of how he was robbed of winning pop idol and how people are now finding what we have always known how good gareth is gareth was fantastic during the show and his voice just seems to get stronger and stronger every time i see him after the show the inn keeper (sorry i dont know what he is called) came over to talk to us and what a nice person he was he just talked and talked anyway thanks gareth for a great day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thanks for telling us of your visit to Queens Cris. I'm pleased you got to meet Gareth before the show. Almost every time someone goes there is usually someone who sings Gareth's praises and realizes just how amazing he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thanks Chris, loved reading your report. Eternal I think the reason we dont get as many reports is, that on the tour more people got to see him when he was near where they lived. And not everyone can go again now its in London.

Khelda Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Sondra_I have huge smile on my face! Just saw @gareth_gates in ad for Us tour about 12 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone They probably use the little video they shot for the tour Les Mis and also show it in USA, (even though not the same singers/actors will take part), lovely for Gareth american fans to see a glimpse of him.

Yorksheather Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thanks chris for posting your report of your visit to see Gareth in Les Mis in London , great to hear that Gareth is still surprising people on how good he really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thanks Cris for your great report. Good to hear people in seats nearby talking about Gareth.It makes the show all that much better too Hasn't that date come round quick from when you said you were going? Could I ask once again if anyone knows the dates Gareth is appearing in Les Mis please? I can't seem to find the dates anywhere Eternal I think the reason we dont get as many reports is, that on the tour more people got to see him when he was near where they lived. And not everyone can go again now its in London I understand a little of what you are saying but surely as the theatre is nearly sold out (if not sold out) most nights, there are as many people per night seeing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria_1981 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I think theres not as many reports cos les mis has been going years at the queens whereas the tour was a whole new thing to everyone and most reports then about gareth were tied in with reports about the tour version.

eternal Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 That is a good point Maria. I suppose too there are lots of overseas tourists seeing the West End Version too. I was just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria_1981 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Its understandable to wonder oh btw his last day at les mis this year is this saturday coming,he will be rejoining on january 31st to june 18th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I think less of us fans are going because most of us went to the tour, and those who might go to London went to The Barbican, so are holding off on going again just yet. In terms of the general public, Queens Theatre is smaller than all of the tour venues so there are less people to comment. Many people going to the tour had booked tickets months in advance and had to wait patiently, so when they did go, they got excited and talked about it on twitter and Facebook. The show has been on in London for years, so people just don't get as excited about going there, with a lot more tickets being sold nearer to the date, often to tourists who aren't British or even speak English. It's also much harder to pick up on comments about Gareth in Les Miserables since all of the anniversary celebrations went up a gear and Nick Jonas fans started talking about it. Twitter and Facebook is filled with people talking about about Les Miserable and using the other one-time useful search terms that could help you find people going to a show to keep tabs on what they were saying.

Snowdrop Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Very nice to read Val. I'll include the main comments from that thread posted so far here so we've got them. What a revelation! Went to see Les Mis at the weekend (last saw it 20 years ago) and must admit was slightly surprised to see Gareth Gates playing Marius. I had always though of him as being a fairly average pop star.Well, he was completely and utterly amazing - a rich, full and soulful voice and a brilliant actor as well. Absolutely moved me to tears. If you have the chance go and see him. Here is a clip of him singing Empty Tables on the Michael Ball show Gosh, he's all growed up Lovely voice and looks great too. Well done heim :pray: We saw him when he was younger ( after pop idol). We were having a meal in a nice pub in Wales & he was in there with about 11 mates - he paid the bill for all & there were posh black limo type taxis that turned up for them. 8) I saw this too, he was fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 There are one or two grumbles about the current cast on one of the theatre websites. It is so nice to read one of the theatre going posters to say the sooner Gates gets back the better to had(think he means add) some weight. If others dissagree it's nice for us to enjoy the moment.
