What dots is he going to sing? The ones written? Cromer Church in Norfolk is a long way from the bright lights of the West End. The audience will give zero f**** They won’t know who anyone is either: The promise of west end ‘stars’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting there To be fair, I would happily go (but I'm not) just to see Graham Bickley. Maybe not current, but having seen him in several leading West End roles in the 90's (Marius/Enjolras in Les Mis; Chris in Miss Saigon with Joanna Ampil; and Joe in Sunset Boulevard opposite Petula Clark), he certainly was top of his game back then, and is a bona fide concert artist. |

Don't forget his sterling efforts trying to keep up with Brian Blessed and Judy Kuhn in Metropolis! |

I did think the picture at the top was Carol Vorderman, not Vicki Michelle at first.  |

As this is now just slagging off a performer who is no longer in Cinderella, maybe it should be moved to the Performers' page?

As this is now just slagging off a performer who is no longer in Cinderella, maybe it should be moved to the Performers' page? It’s less than a week since it closed, and even less than that since Rodney was discussing his involvement in the show on his socials. I think it’s very likely that interest here will begin to wain quite soon. If you or anyone else wants to start a Rodney thread in the Performers section please feel free. If anyone is worried that the posts here break any of our rules, please report the post rather than trying to moderate the thread. |

Imagine young Rodders looked on here and saw he had a thread in the performers area and thinks everyone else thinks he is as famous as he is in his own opinion.

I'm going to keep an eye out for other recordings of Only You, Lonely You. I really like it and would happily add it to my playlist, but there are a few things in the concept album recording that I think could be better.

Does that mean you think half the songs could not be better and you like those ones, or that you don't like any of the songs but you admit that half of them could not be improved upon? |

I like half of the songs. The rest range from mediocre to irritating to dirge-like. I think it works best when he sticks to the sweeping ballads. They would soar even more if played on actual instruments. I haven’t had any of this ratified by the UN; it is just my opinion.
…but in response to the actual question, I was implying that half of the songs could be better.

Even the ones where they did record with an orchestra they did strings on a separate day to brass and woodwind and singers separately again.
I've had to do sectional rehearsals with covid, and it really isn't the same as all playing together.

Fletcher and Vubya. Cinderella might’ve closed but the cast news is the gift that keeps on giving. 😂 |
