No they used that same ending in the first run at the Union, but the Donmar version had Cal's son Cal Jr as the 'other Chandler waiting in the wings.' I didn't have problems with Fra Fee's voice (only when he has his back to the audience but that was similar with all the cast) but he didn't have the likeability that both John Barrowman and Louis Maskell possessed. He's just got one of those resting b*tch face faces! However I love this show and any production is warmly received.

I thought Fra Fee was rather good myself and thought he played the character arc really well. He got caught out a bit when he had to reach some of the higher notes (mainly because of the band I think because others struggled too) but I do think his voice has rather a lovely tone to it. Plus he has a set of pecs you could sleep for weeks on!
Strangely (as it's normally the kind of OTT, scenery chewing performance I like) I thought Lucy Williamson was the odd one out. It was like she was in a completely different show altogether. I wouldn't be surprised if she saw the show as her audition piece for 'Mommy Dearest: The Musical'.
