fell in love with Simon's wonderful voice first, then I saw who was singing, thought I'd died and gone to heaven, love at first sight. not only handsome , but a truly wonderful voice
Oh, how could I ever leave her out? The chemistry between them is obvious in all their performances together, she a brilliant soprano, him a top-notch tenor.
I have been searching and waiting a WHALE'S age for clips of this Essgee Gilbert & Sullivan performance!!! Simon Gallaher doesn't disappoint, as usual. John, well, he pretty much admits his status at the end of this clip, and I think he speaks undeniably truthfully! The two make a very good contrasting pair. I like'em both!
His name is Simon Gallaher, and was a big name in Oz. He is still working in Australia, mostly in production and on boards of governors, but played' Edna' in' Hairspray' last year. I believe he also does small tours of his one man show
But of course, Simon and Helen were like a modern-day Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and three's a lucky number. If they had taped all of them with the same cast, I bet the videos would've sold thrice as well. But, Terri Crouch and Derek Metzger did do a good job in their own right. I heard positive reviews about the Merry Widow and 'Forum. My favourite cast member of all is Jon English.
