Alex Gaumond would be ideal for this part actually.

My issue, POL, is with how you phrased your opinion. You didn't state, as you have now clarified, that Alex Gaumond was the only choice to have occurred to you so far, you stated quite plainly that he was the only actor capable of attempting the part:

"the only Britiish actor who could pull the roll off and it is a big if and that is Alex Gaumond"


Although, please feel free to reject the validity of my opinion simply because you spend more time at the theatre than my 'second rate theatre record' suggests I have. If only I were rolling in bucketfuls of money too so that I could see world class actors on both sides of the Atlantic and then complain that only two or three are capable of handling a specific role.

Phantom of London, your ludicrous postings on this board and ridiculous, immature and ignorant opinions on things you have seen suggest that any opinion you have is questionable (at best) regardless of where or how often you go to the theatre.

[Phantom of London]

ClapYo'Hands, I agree with you, but you are an out and out idiot, who is only a kid who thinks he is a virtuoso on all things theatre, who thinks fit to pull people who post on here up for posting Les Mis instead of Les Miserables or Phantom of the Opera instead of The Phantom of the Opera.

Musicalboy, yes I do have lots of cash to see lots of theatre, however your original hyperbole was both immature abd nasty.

Only two suggestions have been made for
the West End Huey is Adam Pascal, Adam Cooper and Alex Gaumond, just shows how hard this role is to cast.

[ClapYo'Hands]

^^ And here you are doing nothing but supporting my point. Give it up, I can't bear to see you make yourself look any more of a fool.

[KermitTheFrog]

And this is the reason I don't spend much time at all on this forum..

[MusicalBoy]

Dean Chisnall?
David Hunter?
Stephen Ashfield?

Clap Yo Hands- just curious as to how good British actors are with a "Southern" accent.

[AvenueQResident]

Shaftesbury developing a habit of housing musicals about racial segregation!

[Phantom of London]

ClapYo'Hands - Your arrogance of your own self grandeur will always be your downfall.

Interesting choices of Huey's, I don't think they would be able to pull the roll off personally. As I have seen both Huey's (Chad and Adam) on Broadway, I expect to see the same or better quality in the West End.

I will be amazed if it's anyone other than Alexandra Burke as Felicia.

Just pray no one does that awful George W Bush accent that Chad Kimball used.
