In the last weeks of Opening Night, Hadley Fraser kindly sat down with us to talk about his experience with the show and to look back on some of his recent credits too. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Music, Hadley has proven himself to be one of the most versatile actors on the West End stage, taking on principal roles in both musicals and classic plays. Hadley has also worked extensively in regional theatre, championing venues like Chichester Festival Theatre, Sheffield Crucible and Manchester's Royal Exchange. During Josie Rourke's tenure at the Donmar Warehouse, he also worked closely with the Donmar team on a number of shows including Coriolanus, Saint Joan and City of Angels. The Donmar was also where he met his now-wife: Olivier nominee Rosalie Craig with whom they share a daughter. The couple still occasionally work together, most recently on a livestream of Stuart Matthew Price's Before After and we look forward to seeing the pair on stage again soon.In this new interview, Hadley Fraser opens up about his experience as a performer and as a creative. He talks to us about his current experience of putting together Opening Night with Ivo Van Hove and discusses the importance of taking risks, even when in a difficult financial climate. He admits he was aware the show would split opinion but remained intrigued by the avant-garde director's vision of the show and shares his admiration for Wessex Grove Productions, Rufus Wainwright and Ivo Van Hove. As he prepares to take his final bows next month, he remains grateful for the time spent with this company as he looks ahead to life after Opening Night.Opening Night runs at Gielgud Theatre until 18th May with tickets available NOW.

Traemos otro musical de Claude-Michael Schönberg con Alain Boublil, el último compuesto y estrenado por ellos, por primera vez fuera de Europa y que no tuvo la suerte que merecía. Se trata de "THE PIRATE QUEEN" basado en la vida de Grace O'Malley, la irlandesa que lideró a su gente contra las tropas inglesas y se enfrentó a la mismísima Reina Isabel I de Inglaterra. El musical aunque se permitía algunas licencias históricas, sobre el papel parecía reunir todos los elementos para triunfar y apostaba por dos protagonistas femeninas muy poderosas, pero tras estrenar en Broadway en 2006, cerró con tan solo 85 representaciones. Vamos a escuchar el musical por el reparto que lo estrenó en Broadway con Stephanie J. Bloch como Grace, Hadley Fraser como Tiernan, Linda Balgord como la reina Isabel de Inglaterra, Marcus Chait como Donal, Jeff McCarthy como Dubhdara, el padre de Grace y William Youmans como Bingam.

Sin duda Claude Michel Schönberg es con Andrew Lloyd Webber el compositor de musicales más famoso de Europa. Schönberg con “Los Miserables” y Lloyd Webber con “Cats” hicieron temblar a los que creían que el teatro musical era patrimonio de los americanos. Las preventas en Broadway de “Miss Saigon” o “El Fantasma de la Ópera” superaron todas las expectativas demostrando que en el campo del musical no todo estaba dicho. Llegaban nuevas voces que conectaban con el gran público como no se conocía desde mucho tiempo atrás. Cuando Alain Boublil escuchó en la radio una canción que le gustó llamó a la emisora interesándose por el nombre del compositor de la misma y así surgió el “principio de una bonita amistad”. Ambos compartían la afición por la ópera y por el teatro musical y hoy en esta playlist vamos a dar un repaso a los musicales de Schonberg y Boublil. "La revolution française" (1973) fue el musical en el que Alain Boublil, que escribia las letras con Jean-Max Riviére llamó a Schönberg para que se encargase de la música con Raymond Jeannot. Aquel sería su bautismo en el campo del musical que les animaría a escribir un musical ellos dos solos. Y así llegarían Los Miserables (1978), "Miss Saigon" (1989), "Martin Guerre" (1996) y "The Pirate Queen" (2007) y hemos preparado una playlist de forma que te contaremos un poco de cada musical antes de dejarte algunos de los mejores temas del mismo en las voces de Hugh Jackman, Anthony Warlow, Michael Ball, Lea Salonga, Susan Egan, John Owen Jones, Jonathan Pryce, Simon Bowman, Claire Moore, Peter Polycarpou, Russell Watson, Marie Zamora, Rebecca Lock, Ian Glen, Joanna Riding, Jerome Pradon, Stephanie J.

Kirsty Lang finds out from composer Tom Deering and lyricist Hadley Fraser how they turn such proceedings into a thought provoking and entertaining musical.Producer Tom Chivers reckons the Middle English poem 'The Vision of Piers Plowman' is entirely relevant to modern England.

We hear the original language, the modern take on this, and music from the production.With the announcement next week of the winner of this year's Art Fund Museum of the Year, Front Row reports on each of the five finalists.
