Jodie Prenger who was Nancy in Oliver sang some great songs and a duet with John

What a talented fellow he is then - I'd never heard he could sing. He's fun when he acts. Flamboyant perhaps. I'd like to see him tackle something meaty.

Shakespeare, you guttersnipes, what did you think I meant.

Shakespeare, you guttersnipes, what did you think I meant. The thought never entered my head !!!!

I love his Flamboyance and big big personality. he guests on 'Would I lie to you?' here and there and he Is genuinely witty.

Ah The Conference Centre on the Seafront. Saw many a good show there. My mother especially loved the Ice show once a year.

I see he Is at Bristol Hippodrome on the 17th... I may just make that.

He was in Loves Labours Lost at the National Theatre a few years ago. It was only a small part but he was also playing the lead in the musical Anything Goes at the National at the same time! (both shows were produced by Trevor Nunn)

Reading his wikipedia page for the first time I've a far better idea now where he's come from. If he ever takes the title part in Coriolan, for example, I'll travel up to London just to see it, I'm quite sure he'd be spellbinding. I remember Alan Howard in the role opposite Julian Glover, I'd love to compare them.

Don't think there's anything 'high brow' in the forseeable future......John Barrowman that is !!!
