Sadly Keith Burns died unexpectedly on Friday evening.
He was (I believe) the first Narrator I saw in Blood Brothers in 2006 - and he left such an impression, he has been in my top 3 ever since, despite only seeing him once.
He started off as part of the original West End cast of Les Miserables. When Michael Ball fell ill, he stepped up as Marius, and played him to much acclaim for seven months.
His other credits included Miss Saigon, Cats, Carmen, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Rocky Horror Show, and roles in TV and film.
Keith was 60 years old.
