Re-review: Anything Goes 2022, Barbican

Re-review: Anything Goes 2022, Barbican

Less of a review and more of a list of things I loved about going back to see Anything Goes again at the Barbican “You really know how to fill a girdle” I didn’t need much prodding to go and see Anything Goes again, especially when second row tickets for £20 were in the offing but it was also great to see the show from a different angle. With a company and stage of this size, the expansiveness of…

Open for bootleg trading~

Hello all! I am posting my bootleg list here for now as a temporary list until I get my website up and running- I am open to trading! I’m mainly looking for any Cats production- preferably English or Dutch but any musical would be nice to have and expand my collection.

NOTES: Two days before the show closed on Broadway. Good amount of closeups and good quality filmed from the mid-mezzanine; there is a railing issue for a while in Act 1 but the taper improves. 'Me', 'Gaston' and 'Be Our Guest' are all predominantly missing and recording stopped for some time after 'Gaston', which created a little jump in the timeline to where Maurice gets thrown out of the tavern. Still a nice video with great closeups of the last Broadway cast.

If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me! Like I said I would love any cats bootleg- especially the older ones in English and Dutch from like the 80′s till the 00′s. I am also looking for more diversity in my list- and I’m also looking for the classics- Dear Evan Hansen, Falsetto’s, some more Phantom Of the Opera, Mean Girls, Legally Blond, etc...

I want to thank my dearest mentor, Dr. Eileen Yue Ling Han, for giving me the platform to teach with #TheAcademyofAcupuncture. I thank my business and life mentor, Mr. Chris McGarahan, for sharing the truth of life with me. I thank the late Grandmaster Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan, whom I named my only son after for teaching me how to be the best acupuncturist I can be. Dr. Nikki Richman, I am so grateful for you, my Top Performing Elite Black Belt and my FIRST Elite Black Belt. Dr. Richman is a direct student of Dr. Tan and Dr. Han. SuccessfulAcupuncturists.com ---- As a Balance Method practitioner I had been following Anna Dolopo on Facebook for a few years, I was always struck by her positive upbeat personality, her thriving practice and her loving devotion towards Dr. Tan. When Anna said she was going to be forming a small focus group helping practitioners have thriving practices, I signed up instantly, in fact I was the first person to join!! I knew that Anna was someone I wanted to emulate and I knew she would be the perfect mentor for me. However I had no idea what an amazing program I was signing up for. Anna always talks about under-promising and over-delivering, and boy, does she do that! There are different levels to Anna’s training program, there is a free program where Anna very generously shares on a daily basis different inspiring business/life training videos. Then there are different paid levels – there is a monthly subscription level for Anna’s videos, Anna’s workbook, and paid phone consultations. I’ve had 3 phone consultations with Anna; what I loved about my phone consultations with Anna is that they are tailor made for you – Anna talks about seeing as many patients as you can physically and emotionally handle, so she is really supportive and encouraging whether you want to be seeing 20 patients a week or 100+ patients a week. Each phone consultation Anna has given me very specific, action-orientated goals to follow/achieve and by doing this I have had a very https://www.instagram.com/p/B1cMcP8p_T4/?igshid=19v4krp1z2e8c

Review: Anything Goes 2022, Barbican

Review: @AnythingGUK @BarbicanCentre Not enough @bonnie_langford (when is there ever...?) but a hugely enjoyable bit of much needed escapist entertainment with a superlative Kerry Ellis

My favourite show of 2021 returns with added Bonnie Langford! And an excellent Kerry Ellis now at the helm of Anything Goes at the Barbican “Times have changed And we’ve often rewound the clock” There’s little surprise really that several venues turned to classic musical theatre last year as a respite from the time that had gone before. But saying you’ll put on a crowdpleaser and actually putting…

[maraschinocheri]

I had a handful of messages overnight asking about the new London cast of Les Mis, but I'm afraid I don't actually have that much information! The announcement of the full cast came out earlier than usual, and most of the actors in the ensemble are indeed just announcing themselves as "ensemble" members (and saying which principal roles they're covering, if they are), not saying their named roles. I do like to know for sure which actors are playing the Amis before I create a picset of them, which I why I haven't created one yet.

So here is what I do know, as of this moment, beyond the principals:

eta: These are now set. Here are the new Amis, as well.

Adam Bayjou: Foreman/Claquesous and alternate Valjean Ciaran Bowling: Swing Oliver Brenin: Swing and 3rd cover Valjean Hugo Chiarella: Grantaire and 2nd cover Thenardier; 1st cover Bamatabois Andy Conaghan: Babet, Bishop, and 1st cover Grantaire Antony Hansen: Courfeyrac and 2nd cover Valjean, 2nd cover Bishop James Hume: Bamatabois, Lesgles, and 1st cover Thenardier Ciaran Joyce: Montparnasse/Bahorel, 2nd cover Marius, 2nd cover Grantaire John Lumsden: Joly and 1st cover Marius Jonny Purchase: Feuilly and 1st cover Enjolras; 3rd/emergency cover Marius Shaq Taylor: Prouvaire and 1st cover Javert George Tebbutt: Swing, 3rd cover Bishop Lee Van Geleen: Brujon, 2nd cover Javert; 1st cover Bishop; cover Foreman Danny Whitehead: Combeferre and 2nd cover Enjolras
