I saw the show in the West End toward the end of the run, and sadly the cast had just been given notice. Saw a Thursday night and was so disappointed - the entire cast phoned in, especially Reece as Leo , and Cory English as Max.
HOWEVER there was one good moment in the whole thing, in the scene where Leo is hiding on the back of the door, his coat got stuck and he was unable to take it off, he struggled while trying to spit his lines out and in the end said "Ulla.. I'm stuck!"..
Cue Ulla corpsing for a full minute as she tried to unhook Reece from the prop, then right on cue, Reece turning to the audience and saying "Ummmm... this doesn't usually happen" in a perfect Bloom-esque delivery.
If Adolf Hitler where black,IF HE WAS,you would be making a different theatrical play,probably a racist one.but since he is white,it's ok,in good fun is it?man are all of you who went to that show ignorant.hahahahahah.Remember london bombings,no?let me refresh your memory.boom bommb aiiinnnnn brarr brarr,no? VELOCITY 2,VELOCITY 2
VELOCITY 2,VELOCITY 2,VELOCITY 2,VELOCITY 2.you dummies,Hitler was about to get your asses. ==- v2-== rockets are no joke,you idiots,hahahh
i saw this second night of previews on broadway in 2001. amazing. broderick was out sick that night, his understudy was fine, lane was amazing, and mel and bancroft were in the audience. saw it again a week or two later with broderick. many times later... always a treat.
when those old ladies came out at the end of act 1 i just about peed my pants. the audience -- as you can imagine -- were absolutely beside themselves.
No it isnt Lee evans, Its Reece Shearsmith,Lee was in the original london production and was fantastic, seen both of them play leo bloom and i also saw peter kay in manchester,and seeing itin birmingham also with joe paswuale, and i reacon he will be great.
I never got to see Reece down in the West End :( I was so dissapointed! So this video is great! Reece is a very good singer- I didn't think he'd be so good.
And as yet another fan girlie, yes, he is GORGEOUS!!!
Shearsmith admits it's the hardest thing he's ever done and is knackered after 11 months. He's followed a previous all-star cast of Evans and Broderick and Lane - a well-established mix -- so he probably felt overwhelmed. Reece is no singer but commands respect for his award nomination. I've missed the West End run having to make do with Peter Kay in Manchester instead. Reece should come up Naaarth and have another shot. Oh yes, finally to be shallow and fan-girlie - Reece is really cute.
But if your comparing Reece to Lee singing wise, you gotta remeber Lee Evans is a singer, as fars i know reece can sing but isnt a singer! Lee evans was as amazing as Reece in my opinion.
i dont know where u got that from. did u not read the interview where he said the reason he didnt want to do a cast recording was because he didnt feel his voice was strong enough?
also did u see it? cuz i did, and he was not perfect at singing, though, absolutly brillant with the part, but no, not a singer.
Uh... Lee Evans IS a singer. Even at his stand up shows he often ends with a big song where he plays the piano too, he has a strong voice. Just cos you werent keen on him doesnt mean he isnt a singer.
Please, please, please, don't think that I am picking on Lee Evans. I saw him live twice and I think he is absolutely brilliant. However, I am just proving my point, that without too much effort, I was able to find many reviews disliking his vocal performance, not one, though, disliking his character or comedy. Lee Evans is not a trained singer. Hopefully you see I love Lee Evans and he is a brilliant performer who just carries a tune.
I like more the costumes in the movie... "Beatiful girls wearing nothing but pearls". It´s too fashion.

I saw Lee three times including the matinee on his last day, and he just got better every time I saw him.
I think Reece sounds a bit like Matthew Broderick actually.
