Guest NicolaJayne Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thank you Val this looks to be selling out fast. Thank you also to Doris for the info, is it me or is Gareth only involved in singing 2 songs apart from 3 that have the company, where I imagine everyone will be singing. Its also very expensive to get a good seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NicolaJayne Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 If Gareth is only going to be singing 2 songs, may give it a miss,is anyone else going from here? Would rather have an acoustic gig, hoping for one in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd love to go, as Gareth will be singing songs that are brand new to us, and it might be our only chance to hear them and I think it will be a very special concert anyway. But I'm not sure it's possible. The timing isn't very good for me. There were some cheaper seats in the very front row, but they were quickly sold out, unfortunately. Or fortunately if you are the promoter/charity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I would love to go to, as I would to anything Gareth is involved with but its not always possible for various reasons so have to pick and choose. But like you say he will be singing songs we have not heard before. Hope someone can video it for us to watch later. By the amount of tickets sold so quickly it must be a very popular show.

Khelda Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Russell Grant Joins Kerry Ellis And Gareth Gates In CHILDREN OF EDEN Gala, Jan 29 Strictly Come Dancing star Russell Grant is returning to star in the West?End after 34 years - to play a snake! Russell will appear alongside Gareth Gates, Kerry Ellis, Oliver Thornton and Brenda Edwards in the Biblical-inspired musical Children of Eden, by Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz and John?Caird, which is being revived in the West End for one night only in a spectacular star-studded charity gala at the Prince of Wales?Theatre on Sunday 29 January. “I am delighted to be returning to the West End after such a long time; and supporting such a great cause, especially as I have a close friend who has recently been diagnosed with Crohn's,“?says?Russell. “And I am really looking forward to working with Gareth again having had such a wonderful time in panto in Milton Keynes over Christmas.” Director Drew Baker said:”I am delighted that Russell has agreed to play the role of the Snake. After following him on Strictly Come Dancing, he was the perfect choice. The Snake is a role full of seduction and temptation and Russell is sure to bring something glorious to the character. We are all very excited!” Russell Grant found international fame through becoming the Astrologer Royal to the late Queen Mother but before that he had a very successful career in theatre, TV and film. His first role was for the very successful BBC TV’s Wednesday Play – he played a Welsh boy intent on arson! From here on to On The Buses, Please Sir!, The Fenn Street Gang, all the Doctor series starring both Barry Evans and Robin Nedwell. For over 10 years he appeared in classics such as Canterbury Tales for BBC TV starring Joss Ackland and Barbara Jefford and was in the first ever colour TV production the BBC’s Gazette. His first stage appearance was at the New Theatre Cardiff. He then appeared in stage tours of Ivor Novello’s King’s Rhapsody and Rodger and Hammerstein’s The King and I. He headed into the West End playing Slogger Williams with Chris Guard, Simon Le Bon and Keith Chegwin - at the time all unknowns - in the musical Tom Brown’s Schooldays. Other West End and National tour propductions included Camille (Arts Theatre): Hans Andersen (London Palladium); and Iolanthe. He was also one of the stars in the revival of Lupino Lane’s Me And My Gal at the Forum Theatre in Billingham before it transferred to the West End. During the period of astrological fame - nine years on BBC Breakfast Time and TV-AM - Russell appeared as Dame in many theatres, including the New Cardiff with Ruth Madoc, John Nettles and Andrew O’Connor, the Yvonne Arnaud, Guildford, and Blackpool Grand. Children of Eden will be performed by a company of 75, and will feature stars drawn from the West End and TV. The concert is being staged to raise awareness of the chronic and debilitating condition, Crohn’s disease and all proceeds will be donated to Crohn’s and Colitis UK. Children of Eden had its world premiere at the Prince Edward Theatre on January 8, 1991. It’s a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children and faith. Freely based on the story of Genesis, Children of Eden is a frank, heartfelt and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between parents and children. The show delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that the hardest part of love is letting go.

Snowdrop Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thanks Khelda. I saw Russell saying he was excited about doing something with Gareth in the West End in January - to be revealed, and talked about it involving some dancers and stuff, so I didn't expect it to be this! Obviously I've been proven wrong! Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
