I WAS SO DISAPPIONTED WHEN LICHFIELD WAS CANCELLED THAT PETER SAID HE WOULDN'T MIND SEEING C OF E AS IT WAS SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT AND WE COULD MAKE A BREAK OF IT AND SEE MORE OF LONDON WHILE WE WERE THERE. I WAS ALL FOR THAT AND SOON RANG UP TO GET TICKETS AND A GREAT DEAL AT TRAVELODGE.
ON THE WAY TO THE THEATRE THERE WERE CROWDS OF PEOPLE WE COULD HARDLY GET THROUGH . IT WAS THE CELEBRATION OF THE CHINESE NEW YEAR AND THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON. ALL THE STREETS WERE CLOSED TO TRAFFIC SO THANK GOODNESS WE WERE WALKING IT. WE ARRIVED AT THE STAGE DOOR TO SEEE THE CAST PILEING OUT ALL GOING FOR FOOD WE GUESSED, BUT NO GARETH. WE GAVE IT 1/2 AN HOUR TILL 6PM . MEANTIME VAL AND DORIS HAD ARRIVED.
STILL NO GARETH. MOST CAST MEMBERS WERE BACK SO WE WERE CONVINCED WE'D MISSED HIM. THEN VAL SPOTTED GARETH WALKING DOWN THE STREET WITH RUSSELL GRANT ;D GARETH CAME AND GAVE US ALL A HUG , I HAD A PIC AND HE WAS IN REAL HIGH SPIRITS. VAL HAD A JOKE WITH HIM AND WE ASKED IF HE'D HAD A GOOD HOLIDAY . HE HAD. I ASKED DID HE HAVE A RIDE ON A CAMEL, HE DEMONSTRATED HOW HE'D SWAYED ABOUT ON TOP , LAUGHING AND SAYING IT WAS ALRIGHT THO ;D
IT WAS TIME TO FIND OUR SEAT , RIGHT ON THE END OF ROW C BUT WE WERE VERY CLOSE.
IT WAS A TRULY FANTASTIC SHOW. THERE WAS NO SCENERY ONLY A PATTERN OF LIGHT BULBS AS STARS AGAINST A DARK BACKGROUND CURTAIN. THE ORCHESTRA WERE ON THE STAGE AT THE BACK RIGHT . THE CAST WORE THEIR OWN CASUAL CLOTHS BUT IT ALL WORKED PERFECTLY.
GARETH WAS ON A LOT MORE THAN I EXPECTED AND HE DID A LOT OF SPOKEN ACTING WHICH HE DID SO WELL . I WONDERED HOW HE'D MANAGED TO LEARN IT ALL SO QUICKLYGARETH'S AGRESSION AS CAIN TOWARDS ABEL WAS INCREDIBLY CONVINSING AND TOTALY DIFFERENT TO GARETH'S OTHER ACTING ROLES. HE WAS BRILLIANT AS CAIN.
BUT
HIS SINGING, OMG
WHEN HE SANG, LOST IN THE WILDERNESS, I THOUGHT MY HEART WAS GOING TO BIRST. HE WAS MAGNIFICENT . I WISH I COULD DESCRIBE THE INCREDIBLE FEELING AND STRENGTH IN THAT BEAUTIFULL VOICE. IT IS A VERY DIFICULT SONG TO SING BUT GARETH WAS SPOT ON. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS STAND ON MY SEAT AND APPLAUDE , BEFORE HE'D EVEN FINISHED SINGING. I COULD HARDLY STOP MYSELF.
WHAT A WONDERFULL AUDIANCE GAVE RAPTUOUS APPLAUSE TO GARETH AND TO ALL THE OTHER SINGING WHICH WAS EXTREMLY GOOD.
PETER REALLY ENJOYED IT TOO , HE THOUGHT IT WAS VERY INTERESTING. THE STORY WAS NARRATED IN SONG SIMULAR TO JOSEPH AND EASY TO FOLLOW.
GARETH SANG ABOUT 4 TIMES .
HE WAS
IN THE FINALEE AND EVERYONE WAS ON THIER FEET GOING WILD.
THEN SOME SPEECHES WERE MADE. IT WAS SAID IN ONE OF THE SPEECHES THAT THIS WAS THE BEST PRODUCTION OF THIS MUSICAL HE'D EVER SEEN AND THE CAST WERE THA MOST HARD WORKING DEDICATED AND ACCOMPLISHED HE'D EBER MET . AND HE HAD SEEN 47 PRODUCTIONS IN AMERICA! ;D
IT WAS MURDER AT THE STAGE DOOR, NEVER HAVE WE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE. IT SEEMED ALL THE STARS HAD FANS WAITING.
WE WERE USHERED AWAY TO THE FRONT OF THE THEATRE AND TOLD THEY WOULDN'T BE OUT FOR AN HOUR. WE WENT INTO THE FOYEE FOR A WHILE BUT WE DECIDED IT WOULD BE TOO LATE TO WALK BACK THROUGH THE BACK STREETS TO THE HOTEL IF WE STAYED TILL 11 OR AFTER . WE SAW VAL AND DORIS BEFOR THEY LEFT . WE DECIDED TO LEAVE STAIGHT AFTER.
. I FELT VERY LUCKY WE HAD SEEN GARETH BEFOR THE SHOW . AS ALWAYS , HE HAD APPEARED JUST WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT HIM , LOOKING LIKE A MOVIE STAR YET JUST LIKE THE BOY NEXT DOOR.
I WAS JUST SORRY I NEVER HAD CHANCE TO TELL HIM AFTER THE SHOW HOW WONDERFULL HE HAD BEEN AND HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED THE SHOW.
CAN HE GET ANY BETTER?
THIS WAS HIS BEST EVER . BUT WE SAY THAT EVERY TIME , DON#T WE
