Yes, I must be clear - I think Ian McIntosh is a fantastic actor and singer. My disappointment was a result of spending quite a lot of loot to at least catch him a couple of times in JCS and I always seemed to miss him. However, his alternate/covers were excellent. I'm almost as excited to see Matt Bateman as Valjean at some point as I think he is also superb. I vaguely recall seeing a lockdown vid he did as Valjean. Vocally, he smashes it out of the park. Did you ever see his Judas? Shem was off at my last show in Glasgow and I was gutted that Luke was also out (he was sensational in both roles). But Matt absolutely knocked Judas out of the park with the most insane vocals. Was stunning! I didn't - I wish I had though as he has an incredible voice and totally inhabits his characters. |

Ian’s schedule and holiday dates posted on his Insta for those interested. His final scheduled show is suspicious, it would line up with a Phantom cast change... Probably reading too much into it, just thought I'd point that out. Especially since this means we're getting someone new for a 40th anniversary JV |

You'd think tenors were an endangered species in England with how many times they've brought him back! |

Ben Culleton just announced that he's going to be doing 8 of the 16 shows that Djavan won't be there for the next 2 weeks. I assume Jonathan Stevens is going to be doing the rest? Good for him if he does, the 2nd u/s doesn't usually have scheduled shows, but maybe they're preparing him, seeing as he's taking over as 1st in October.

It seems like the new cast has only signed a 9-month contract. Ian first posted his holiday dates and said his final show is in July. He then reposted the same thing just without the final show. And now Matt Bateman just posted about spending the next NINE months on the barricade. So I guess we're getting a NEW 40th anniversary cast

More my wishful thinking than likely reality, but could Ramin Karimloo do a stint in London for the 40th? I know he's been there done it but I think hes only played JV on Broadway?

I have a question: I'm on the Les Mis website trying to book tickets and specifically for the 24th of October, the evening show, there's a star next to the time label. Does anyone know what that means?

Katie Hall to leave the Sondheim Production and join the arena tour for 6 venues. Lucie Jones to reprise Fantine in Katie's place at the Sondheim from December to February. http://instagram.com/p/DBwkFhxo82F |

Lucie... well, I just think that there are other roles she is more suited to. I would have preferred it if Anouk and Georgia had been tasked with holding down the fort, though I can see from a production point of view why that wouldn't work for almost two months. |
