Could you suggest FCs for each family?

*keep in mind that this rp WILL NOT be resource oriented, so model faceclaims will be suggested (especially for lord leto whose canon counterpart has been explicitly stated as a beautiful young man (not handsome, but beautiful, like an androgynous greek myth figure. with long hair and all that)).   *we also do not have a set “age bend” rule in place. we just ask that you be reasonable

Everything’s kicking off this February! Here’s a thank you gift : )

Logistical stuff/disclaimer: My former trading partner took two of these but was largely out of trading by then. I did all of the tracking, notes, and editing for them. There MIGHT be another copy of June 13, 2017, that exists, but these were all pretty much released by me. 

Wicked - London - June 12, 2017

Willemijn Verkaik (Elphaba), Suzie Mathers (Glinda), James Darch (u/s Fiyero), Sarah McNicholas (Nessarose), Idriss Kargbo (Boq), Sue Kelvin (Madame Morrible), Mark Curry (The Wizard), Martin Ball (Doctor Dillamond)

My Notes: A bit more of a run-of-the-mill performance considering it was the start of the week and you can kinda hear it. Suzie is on top form as well, but iirc she would call out the next day.

Notes: Rosa’s first performance with Willemijn. 

My Notes: NOW THIS. One of the best performances I’ve ever heard. It’s also a better quality audio. :) I’ll let you find out everything she does yourself but I absolutely FREAKED OUT when I first heard this. This is the stuff you hear at final performances. IIRC the review I got was that it almost seemed like she was ‘trying harder to pull some of Rosa’s weight’ which I don’t think/know to be true, but that was the opinion. The things she does are just mindblowing. And it was a Tuesday!!!!

Notes: Alice’s first performance with Sue and Sarah. My (frei-und-schwerelos’) master.

My Notes: Of course I jinxed myself and this had to be the first show that Wil would call out on when she came back, but it was still mega good. Alice is different, and that’s a really good thing. Her Elphie is simmering, more frustrated, drier, and not as awkward. Suzie’s act 2 also almost made me cry, she absolutely excels at Glinda’s anguish in Thank Goodness. Plus, she goes nuts during Popular.

Alex has so…

During the monsoon weather on Wednesday, I was worrying about today’s performance. This production of Cosi Fan Tutte is performed on the High Street almost entirely outdoors.

At 5pm on Thursday I am sitting outside Patisserie Valerie with my cappuccino in a takeaway cup ready for the action to begin. I know I’m in the right place as there is a violinist (Olivia Jarvis), bassoonist (Leo Geyer) and Accordionist (Bartosz Glowacki) sitting at the next table. It is more of a surprise when the three gentlemen enjoying a coffee on another table start singing at the top of their voices!

The three gentlemen are the cynical Don Alfonso (Philip Smith) who is plotting to ruin the happy lives of Ferrando (Simon Gfeller) and Guglielmo (Tom Stoddart). He bets them that their respective fiancées will not stay faithful if put to the test. They are so sure of their lover’s devotion to them that they accept the challenge. Some of the customers enjoying their afternoon coffees seem surprised to find themselves in the middle of an opera. I imagine the customers in Morrisons were even more so when Ferrando and Guglielmo meet their fiancées Fiordiligi (Claire wild) and Dorabella (Felicity Buckland) there and tell them they have to leave immediately for a lucrative contract in New York.

We next travel through the town for an emotional farewell at the station. I was hugely impressed with the musicians who walked along the streets playing their instruments negotiating pedestrians and crossing roads completely unfazed. It takes some very powerful singing to perform in a public place and not be drowned out by the sounds of traffic, buskers, and emergency sirens, but this group of singers, particularly Claire Wild, are more than capable.

At the Alexandra pub, the girls are accosted by two strangers, who try to seduce them, these are none other than their fiancées in disguise. They are offended and leave the young men at the pub and go to do some shopping in Ely’s department store. Don Alfonso tells them there is no harm in them having a bit of fun while their fiancées are away and the girls decide he may be right and return to the pub. After their initial reluctance, the girls decide to have a bit of fun with the strangers before Don Alfonso tells them their fiancées contract has been cancelled and they are returning.

This production is tremendous fun, it was most entertaining to watch passing members of the public catch sight of the proceedings and join the procession to watch the rest of the drama. The audience included several young children who were entertained throughout. Leo Geyer and Joanna Turner have done a wonderful job in creating a modern libretto and production suitable for this High Street Format Opera. I am quite certain that Mozart would have thoroughly approved.

Review by Sally Knipe

Following the success of the new Merton street opera Drifting Dragons last year, Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte is adapted for the high street. It’s a story about love and friendship, cheating, and testing the one you love. The performances are completely FREE and unticketed in a variety of town centre locations across our home borough of Merton – popping up in cafes, pubs, supermarkets, libraries and the bus stop. The performances give local people the chance to experience opera, who might not ordinarily do so, changing attitudes to the art form to encourage people to realise opera is not elitist, expensive, boring or irrelevant as often perceived. The modern re-imagining has been edited to about an hour, the music re-arranged for 3 instruments suitable for promenade performance by exciting young composer/conductor Leo Geyer, and with a new modern English libretto written by experienced young opera director Joanna Turner.

The cast includes Claire Wild as Fiordiligi and Philip Smith as Don Alfonso, both currently covering in Welsh National Opera’s The Merchant of Venice at the Royal Opera House. Claire returns to Welsh National Opera in Khovanshchina in the autumn. They are joined by Thomas Stoddart as Guglielmo and Felicity Buckland as Dorabella (both in Opera UpClose’s upcoming The Magic Flute) and Simon Gfeller as Ferrando (recent roles with English Touring Opera). They are accompanied by Olivia Jarvis on violin, Bartosz Glowacki on accordion and Leo Geyer on bassoon.

Fiordiligi: Claire Wild Violin: Olivia Jarvis Dorabella: Felicity Buckland Accordion: Bartosz Glowacki Ferrando: Simon Gfeller Bassoon/MD: Leo Geyer Guglielmo: Tom Stoddart Don Alfonso: Philip Smith

This performance at: Thurs 3rd August – 5pm – WIMBLEDON (starting: Patisserie Valerie on Piazza, SW19 1QB)

Due to overwhelming public demand, there will be an extra performance of the West End smash hit musical JERSEY BOYS in its final week at the Piccadilly Theatre on Thursday 23rd March at 3.00pm. This week – week commencing 13th February 2017 – JERSEY BOYS has broken the house record for ticket sales in the history of the Piccadilly Theatre.

JERSEY BOYS will close on Sunday 26th March 2017 following nine amazing years in London. The show is currently the sixth longest musical running in the West End.

JERSEY BOYS first opened in London at the Prince Edward Theatre on 18 March 2008 and moved to the Piccadilly Theatre in March 2014. The first UK and Irish Tour of JERSEY BOYS was a record-breaking success and ran for 18 months, from 4th September 2014 to 5th March 2016. The second national tour will open at the New Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham in December 2017.

The London cast of JERSEY BOYS is led by Matt Corner as Frankie Valli, Simon Bailey as Tommy DeVito, Declan Egan as Bob Gaudio and Matt Hunt as Nick Massi. Dayle Hodge plays the role of Frankie Valli at certain performances. Also in the cast are Amelia Adams-Pearce, Nicola Brazil, Stuart Dawes, Mark Dugdale, Leanne Garretty, Lucinda Gill, Nicky Griffiths, Will Haswell, Mark Heenehan, Mark Isherwood, Ben Jennings, Joe Maxwell, Nathaniel Morrison, Dan O’Brien, Chris Stoddart, Helen Ternent and Ben Wheeler.

JERSEY BOYS is the remarkable true story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and their rise to stardom from the wrong side of the tracks. These four boys from New Jersey became one of the most successful bands in pop history, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and sold 175 million records worldwide, all before they turned 30. The show is packed with their hits, including Beggin’, Sherry, Walk Like A Man, December, 1963 (Oh What a Night), Big Girls Don’t Cry, My Eyes Adored You, Let’s Hang On (To What We’ve Got), Bye Bye Baby, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Working My Way Back to You, Fallen Angel, Rag Doll and Who Loves You.

Winner of Broadway’s Tony, London’s Olivier and Australia’s Helpmann Awards for Best New Musical, JERSEY BOYS is the winner of 57 major awards worldwide and has been seen by over 24 million people worldwide. As well as running in the West End, JERSEY BOYS can be seen across the United States on its US National Tour and has just completed record-breaking runs on Broadway and in Las Vegas. A second National Tour of the UK and Ireland will open in Birmingham in December 2017.

JERSEY BOYS is written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio and lyrics by Bob Crewe. The London production is staged by the entire original Broadway creative team, led by director Des McAnuff and choreographer Sergio Trujillo, with scenic design by Klara Zieglerova, costume design by Jess Goldstein, lighting by Howell Binkley, sound by Steve Canyon Kennedy and projection design by Michael Clark. The orchestrations are by Steve Orich and the music supervision and vocal arrangements by Ron Melrose.

JERSEY BOYS is produced in London by the Dodgers, with Joseph J. Grano, Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Pelican Group, in association with Latitude Link, Rick Steiner, and a small clutch of UK colleagues.
