Never great to see something like this happen. The show stop was closer to 30 minutes with a few announcements while they sorted things out. The performance ended up finishing around 10.50pm.
Brad did a terrific job to switch from playing the factory foreman to Valjean and deserved the standing ovation he got at the end of the night.

I read on a Facebook group that 2 cast members said at stage door that Chris had put his knee out. How serious I assume only time will tell. |

Bradley Jaden is joining Eastenders at the end of January which is an amazing opportunity for him. I was not a viewer of the show previously but I am now  |

Will he be keeping the bun? Interesting - there are already two characters, both dark haired, with man buns. |

I was not a viewer of the show previously but I am now Not to be too off topic but I recently got back into Eastenders after 8 years of not watching it and it’s pretty good at the moment so not a bad time to start! |

Is he not already in it as the spivvy fitness blokes mate? They shared steroid needles and now have HIV? He has a man bun and looks a bit like Bradley Jaden.

I know who you mean (I had to double check) - the character called Brett. Apparently he's played by Fabrizio Santino, who used to be in Hollyoaks. There is a likeness. |

I was not a viewer of the show previously but I am now The last time I watched Eastenders (on purpose) was when Ben Lewis did an ep. I was hoping they'd keep his character on as a continuing love interest for Kath, but nothing. Hope Bradley has better luck. |

Even though I love Bradders,he has one of the best voices in the West End plus very nice on the eye, I won't be tuning in to Eastenders. Gave up on it many years ago as its all doom and gloom and shouting.

I used to watch EastEnders religiously through the 90s but I’ve not seen it for about 20 years now. Bradley might just be enough to convince me to tune in though!
Does anyone know if he’s a new regular character or just making a cameo appearance for a few episodes?

I will be very sad not to see Bradley on the West End, but this must be a great opportunity for him

Could he not do both? 'Enders during the day and west end at night.

Saw Les Mis last night and thankfully Jon and David were on. The show was in great shape although some elements don't get the response they used to .

I don't know who the JVJ was yesterday but he didn't sing the proper note at the end of Who Am I! I couldn't believe it. Felt ripped off!

I don't know about Brad but every time I've seen Jon he doesn't manage that note. I didn't see him early in his run so I don't know if that's akways been the case or he's just struggling vocally now? I'll admit it doesn't fill me with confidence for his Phantom.

I'll admit it doesn't fill me with confidence for his Phantom. Yeah unfortunately Jon's voice seems to have really gone down hill. Early on in his run he was sounding beautiful, but I think he just really needs a long vocal rest. I've heard that he's been let out of his Les Mis contract early so he won't be doubling up on Phantom rehearsals and performing in Les Mis. Hopefully it also means he has some time off to rest his voice! |

On Wednesday night at the end of A heart Full of Love Cosette's voice really cracked on the high note at the end and she didn't get it all all. Jon though was great as was David. One of the best 'Stars'I have ever heard.
