FORBIDDEN WEST END
To celebrate the U.S. Premeire of The FIX opening, I will present you something fun!
My genius friend with a great sense of humor, Mlle. Julie came up with this funny lyric. She is a frequent visitor to Les Miserables in London (practically she lives in Palace Theatre), and has seen many actors who played Enjolras (we call him Angie as a pet name). She actually attended the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables at Royal Albert Hall and saw the infamous Michael McGuire as Angie. Did you know that he was the second choice because Anthony Warlow was starring in the Secret Garden in Australia with Philip Quast, and they could only send Philip to TAC? Well, after listening to Two Guys at Harvard on OLC The FIX CD, an inspiration hit Julie, and the rest was history.
 Two Guys Played Angie
Two guys played Angie
Often compared
All they've in common is
The role that they shared
Two guys played Angie
Dressed in red and gold
Both of them were students, although one was too old.
Two guys played Angie,
Tony and Mike,
One was Australian
The other was shite
Mike won a Tony
On Broadway, no less
Though why they gave it to this man is anyone's guess.
Oh, that Enjolras,
Was he all they could find?
We're talking plastic hair and schoolgirl crushes
Blinking eyes and brows like brushes.
Homemade suits - ginger beer
Give it up Mike, cos it's all downhill from here.
Two guys played Angie
But who was the best?
Some-they say Michael
But surely they jest.
Appeared in a concert,
The height of his fame
But since that awful moment he's not been seen again.
Two guys played Angie
Clenching their fists
Reached for the high notes
But one of them missed.
Anthony Warlow-sexy and slim
There's never been another one who sings quite like him.
Oh that Enjolras,
Surely can't be beat
We're talking baritone, tenor, soprano !
Is there a note he can't reach - NO
Voice like God - pure and clear
Live it up, Anth, cos it's all uphill from here.
The current Enjolras at the Palace Theatre is Matt Cammille, but he is leaving the company on April 1, 1998 to join the POTO UK tour as Raoul (he will be the best romantic Raoul!). So who will replace Matt? The rumor is David Bardsley, who was Enjolras a few years ago AND played Peter, the security staff in The FIX at Donmar, will come back as Angie. He is Julie's favorite Enjolras and she had another inspiration after hearing the wonderful rumor!
Simply Enjolras (Simple Word)
What's in your eye's - theres something wonderful here.
What's that you say, we hear that David is back.
So get on that phone
But leave the Visa alone.
Time to book-up and see our Angie back home.
I said - WOW
I meant - WOW
What do you say to that, Mrs Universe -
What do you say to that?
Good gravy, what have we here, there's a genius at the Palace
Good gravy, what have we here - genius, genius.
London Les Miserable production rumormill has been working overtime recently. Hal Fowler, who played Arnauld du Thil in Martin Guerre until last February, has been rumored to be the next Javert after Ethan Freeman leaves. Alternate Valjean, John Owens Jones, will depart from the Palace to take over Jeff Layton's place in the tour company in May. That means we'll have an open slot for Valjean! The rumor that put Julie on the top of the world is that her first heartthrob, Phil Cavill, will return in a triumph as Valjean after a terrible motorcycle accident. She immediately sold her company stocks and started the Phil Cavill Valjean fund so that she can see him "almost" every day.
The following lyric was written (by Julie, of course) immediately after Phil's departure from Les Mis (Peter Karrie took over him), but I think it's the most appropriate time to put on this page!
Bring Him Back
CAM-ER-ON
HEAR OUR PRAYER
IN YOUR SHOW
THERE'S SOMEONE WHO'S NOT THERE
HE'S CALLED PHIL-
PHIL CAVILL
AS VALJEAN
HE IS BRILL
BRING HIM BACK
BRING HIM BACK
BRING HIM BACK
HE'S THE BEST VALJEAN WE HAVE KNOWN
HE'S EVEN BETTER THAN COLM
BUT NOW HE'S GONE
WHO KNOWS WHERE?
IT'S NOT THE SAME
WITHOUT HIM THERE
AND WE'RE BEREFT
THAT HE HAS LEFT
HE CAN SING
HE'S A STAR
MUCH BETTER
THAN THE OTHERS, BY FAR
YOU CAN HIRE
YOU CAN FIRE
LET HIM SING
ONCE AGAIN
IF WE COME
WHEN WE COME
LET HIM SING
BRING HIM BACK
BRING HIM BACK
BRING HIM BACK.
What do you think?? I loved it so much I beg her to write more which she did, so I will add new lyrics later, so please come back. Julie loves to hear from you what you think about this lyric!
