Yes I was surprised to read about it on social media before getting LW e mail. As you say theybare usually good at notifying in advance. Anyway all booked. I love Jon Robyns voice so it's going to be a great concert. |

Guest names announced.
Joining Robyns will be Cassidy Janson (& Juliet), Giles Terera (Clyde’s), Simon Lipkin (Derren Brown’s Unbelievable) and Lily Kerhoas, who is currently starring as Christine Daaé alongside Robyns in The Phantom of The Opera. There will also be an appearance by the South London Youth Theatre of which Robyns is a patron.
Simon Lipkin means a song or two from Avenue Q surely.
Very much looking forward to this concert.

I was there. What a great evening. He is such a talented man. His voice, the piano playing, the guitars, plus the different styles he can sing/perform. Really impressive and enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the concert last night. Jon Robyns is such a likeable person and came over very naturally on stage. I really liked the concept of doing a song from a musical over the last 20 years (which is when he started his MT career). I also liked it that he didn't do a back catalogue of songs he has performed in shows he has been in. We had a real mixture of musicals including Putnam Spelling Bee, Jagged Little Edge and even a final song from a brand new musical that he recently workshopped. I was also pleased that the evening was purely MT. I am probably in a minority but I don't really like it when MT performers also do pop songs or stuff they have written themselves. He is a really talented guy and also played piano and guitar to a very good standard. Some lovely guests who you could tell were also real friends. Cassidy Janson, Giles Terera, and Lily Kerhoas. He also had 35 kids from South London Theatre School (sorry but I cant remember the actual title) where Jon is patron. They were great and were loving every moment of being on stage.
Some very funny moments especially from Giles Terera who kept coming on the stage wanting to perform, even bringing on his Olivier award and his MBE.
But the highlight of the evening for me was the encore when Simon Lipkin came on with Jon and their Avenue Q puppets and did "I'm not Gay".
Bradley Jaden was in the audience and caused quite a stir in the interval with people queueing up to have a selfie with him and he was very obliging. If anyone saw him can you confirm that he was with Zizi Strallen?

If anyone saw him can you confirm that he was with Zizi Strallen? You’ve summed up my thoughts exactly. I thought it was a really successful, rounded evening, and also loved the guests and concept. And yes, that was Zizi Strallen! |

Re: Bradley Jaden. He was yes. They are definitely together. I've seen them at multiple things together now. What a couple!
