Sorry we will be losing you to the States, our loss but their gain. You must be really excited and I am sure your performance will win them over. The new musical sounds interesting looking forward to some more music from you. Any chance of that second album the tracks on my space are wonderful, I especially like tall ships reminds me of my teens taking part in the tall ships races! Have we any tv or films to watch out for, how did Robin Hood go? Time does make grief easier I lost my mum to Alzheimers 5yrs ago, and still shed the occasional tear when events occur which I know she would have enjoyed, like the christening of my nephew last weekend.
Best Wishes and Good Luck with all your projects,
Pat

Hi Doug so pleased that you are doing so well, and I am very excited that you are going to broadway with La Cage, as I am going to New York in June next year to celebrate my 50th birthday along with twin sister and family, and I really hope that you will be performing on either 5/6/7th June 2010 as this would make my birthday. Keep up the good work Doug and I look forward to coming to see a gig soon. Denise

Hi Doug – so good to hear from you again and all the exciting news, especially La Cage on Broadway! The last version there, which I saw whilst visitng to support another play directed by my good friend Daniel Kramer, was truly dire! So show ‘em how it should be done in your own inimitable way, dear Doug! And wouldn’t it be great if you could close out the London show – do let us know in good time so that we can book to see it! And I’ll try to get to New York to see you too!!
Having lost both my parents, separately and a few years back now, I can empathise with your grief over your Dad but the happy memories to take over eventually though missing them never goes entirely, particularly on special occasions – but it’s good to remember and over time it eases the pain.
Take care of yourself and keep blogging!
Love to you and the family

PS: Forgot to say that I went to see Dimetos and thought it was a truly wonderful production, so well done you. The cast were well chosen and all gave amazing performances – I loved the depiction of the horse and its rescue from the well – but Jonathan Pryce was utterly outstanding in the title role. So many thanks to them and to you for yet another shining example of your directing talent.

Welcome back! Well it seems as though La Cage, New York and birthdays go together. It’s my birthday in April so have decided to go to New York to celebrate and, most importantly, to support you – just keep us informed of dates, theatre etc – New Yorkers won’t know what’s hit them!
See you in NY – Sheila

Tremendously excited to see you in New York! I saw you while I was studying abroad in London, and absolutely RAVED about the show to everyone back home in NY. Now I can take them to come see you!

Fantastic news that you are taking your definitive portrayal of Albin to Broadway. Show them how it’s done Doug! Have always wanted to go back to New York and now have the perfect reason – to support you in La Cage. Will start saving the pennies now! Hope they’ll do a new cast recording as well. Do hope you can close La Cage here too – that would be brilliant. Please keep us up to date.
Your musical sounds exciting, and what a line-up you had for the recording and read through of the book! Can’t wait to hear more.
Saw Dimetos – thought the opening and closing of Act 1 amazing, and as for Jonathan Pryce’s performance – a real tour-de-force – superb.
Wishing you every success in all you do.
