Les Miserables - Gala Night posted: 24/08/19
On 21 August Les Mis - the staged concert had its official opening night. It wasn't a press night (who needs reviews when the show sold out 95% of availble tickets on the first day of sale?) but a festive opening.
After the concert there were countless articles and a number of lovely cast interviews and here are a few of those:
And then, in the finale of the big night, Michael was asked whether he could still hit those high notes he sang as Marius 34 years ago...watch what happened then:
In other but related news, the theatre has confirmed that Michael will not be appearing in Les Mis on 13 and 14 September due to the BBC Proms at the Park (no surprises there) and his understudy Earl Caprtenter will be on stage instead.

Fellow fan and media appearance expert Mark Witchell kindly listed Michael's upcoming radio and TV appearances:
Today was meant to be a historic day one way or another: Michael's latest solo album Coming Home to You officially head the UK album charts!
Fabulous news about "Coming Home To You": It hit the coveted #1 spot in the midweek charts. What does this mean? It's not (yet) the end of the first week of it's release. Those charts will be determined on Friday, but they publish midweeks, which do, what it says on the tin. Within the midweeks Michael is at no 1 and with a good chance to keep that space until the end of the week. It always helps to give him a push. So, if you still need a good present, get this album another time and support him.
