Hey there Everyone,

We just wanted to take a moment to say Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you!!!!We hope you have enjoyed our Christmas gift for your constant support! (The 2 free Christmas downloads).
The last few months have been busy to say the least. Simon has been performing with Phantom of the Opera on the West End! He and his leading lady performed at the reopening of the Paris Opera house which was then broadcast on one of the USA’s biggest national morning shows.
Stephen has been working on a Musical in Malaysia which has kept him very busy.
Andrew has been keeping busy by working with Jeremiah on new Teatro material!!!
Some of the biggest news has been Jeremiah opening Carousel on the West End to rave reviews (4 and 5 stars). Both for the show, and himself. Some of the reviews include....

“Truly believable as Billy, Jeremiah James convincingly portrays both the gentle and brutish sides of his character, while Alexandra Silber’s heartbreaking performance is capable of stopping the show”
-Linda Martland, THE STAGE

“Jeremiah James is outstanding”
-OBSERVER

“Jeremiah James is sexily magnetic”
-METRO

“But it’s easily explained by the tremendous chemistry between Alexandra Silber’s vulnerable and deeply touching mill-worker and Jeremiah James’s dark, brooding hothead Billy.  Being a’ couple o’ specks o’ nothing’, as Billy puts it, makes them kindred spirits. Their yearning pours out in If I Loved You, and Billy imagines the child Julie is carrying, James makes the transition from fecklessness to fatherhood in the space of one marvellous number. (The Soliloquy)”
-Georgina Brown, THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

“It’s a treat, too, to have a lead who exudes real American man. Jeremiah James, who plays fairground bad boy Billy Bigelow, conveys his raging, passionate uselessness in a way which wins your empathy, despite his tendency to smack the women he loves in the chops.”
-TIMEOUT MAGAZINE LONDON

“Jeremiah James brings a dangerous air and brooding sex appeal to Billy Bigelow.”
-March Shenton, LONDON LITE

“Jeremiah James’s Billy Bigelow is outstanding too: the desperado with the heart of gold, his conscience flickering like a faulty pilot light.”
-Kate Kellaway, THE OBSERVER

“What a shattering impression James and Silber make, after the dead Billy returns to earth and realises his daughter is following in his unhappy footsteps.” I let my golden chances pass me by,” he sadly sings and returns to heaven , half his life lost. An experience to cherish.”
-Nicholas De Jongh, EVENING STANDARD

“Posner’s actors, especially the vocally impressive Alexander Silber as a touching Julie and Jeremiah James as a muscular Billy, play the heart of the piece with stirring conviction.”
-Michael Coveney, WHATSONSTAGE.COM

“Jeremiah James as the dark-souled Billy and Alexandra Silber as the adoring Julie possess fine voices”
-Michael Billington, THE GUARDIAN

“The level of singing throughout is close to operatic. Muscular Mr James (as good-looking as a young Oliver Reed) brings nonchalance to his part in the duet If I Loved You - a contrast to Alexandra Silber’s impassioned Julie.”
-Quentin Letts, DAILY MAIL QUENTIN LETTS

“Silber herself has a rich mezzo soprano voice, and her duets with Jeremiah James’s full-bodied Billy are packed with both longing and disappointment.”
-Michael Coveney, THE INDEPENDENT

To see more about Carousel go to carouselthemusical.com or to find out about Simon in Phantom go to thephantomoftheopera.com. If you decide to come to see us in our perspective shows, make sure you stay after so that we can say hello and thank you in person! Make certain you say you’re a Teatro fan!!

Hey Everyone,

So its been a busy few weeks for Teatro!!!! Now that we have a moment to take a breath we wanted to let our friends here know what’s been going on; >
O.K. so first things first.
Stephen has just finished filming an indie film that will be released in the near future which we are all pumped about seeing!!! We will let you all know the release date as soon as we know. So keep checking back! He also may be staring in a play come Oct. So again check back we will keep you posted.
Simon premiered in one of the most if not the most popular musical of all time, Phantom of the Opera, in the part of Raul. Family and friends were on hand to mark the event. It was so fantastic to see him in a role that truthfully was tailor made for him. He was a stand out in a cast full of incredible talent. I can personally say this seeing as I have seen the show 5 times But in whole hearted honesty, he was fantastic in the show. He combined his unique rock vocal sound and masculine demeanor to make the character of Raul more than just the handsome love interest but a three dimensional character with passion and intensity. Coming from a theater lover, as soon as you have a chance, come to Her Majesty’s Theater and see him in this role. It truly is not to be missed.
Andrew has been busy working on Teatro material for our upcoming concerts. Different ways of presenting our songs in concert!!!! Maybe playing some instruments etc. So you may see something different come the next concert!!
Jeremiah (me.) has been busy pulling double duty with rehearsals for CAROUSEL and concerts with the guys. Now in less than a week, CAROUSEL will be opening at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley. Now as you see me in person, I do look a bit different due to my long hair and large mutton chop sideburns. But i promise it is me just the same. If you come to the show please stop and say hello after
Now as you may know Teatro as a group has been all over the place the last month. After releasing in SA, we have been busy doing interviews for their local press. So once again thank you in South Africa for all your support and hopefully soon you will be seeing us performing there live
On top of that we have been doing a string of concerts. Just recently we were flown to Venice, Italy to do a private concert, then flew back and had the unbelievable honor of performing in front of 40,000 people at Proms in the Park. Then from there we were off to Belgium to launch the current album live in front of 25,000 people at the STARS of EUROPE concert for Unicef which was broadcast to 15 countries across Europe. So thank you soo much to folks in Belgium for having us!!! We look forward to coming back, and seeing you all again soon!
We also want to thank Oliver Thornton for once again stepping in for myself and Simon when we were unavailable due to our show commitments at different times throughout the month. Oliver is not only a fantastic and dynamic performer but also a dear friend who we all consider to be the 5th member of Teatro. Don’t miss the opportunely to see him STAR alongside Jason Donavon in the new West End production of Priscilla Queen of the Dessert The Musical. (http://www.priscillathemusical.com)
So there we are. Once again thank you soooo much to all our fans for their continued support. We hope to see you all soon. And remember new things are coming soon! So keep checking back!!!
Best Wishes to you all.

So we hope you are all well, and we will let you know when more comes up!!!

Best Wishes
All of us

Hey there Everybody!!

Just wanted to drop a line and give you guys an update as to what we have been up to! Since our last blog, we have performed for the son of the President of Egypt in Sharm El Sheikh. We also performed as special guests of the Prime Minister of Vietnam here in London and have since been invited back to Vietnam for another concert (once again performing for the Prime Minister). 
We recently did a Mother’s Day special for GMTV and had the opportunity to surprise Britain’s best mum. It was amazing. This women had fostered an amazing amount of children over the years, many with special needs. So to have the chance to come and sing for her and her family was an absolute honor!!
A few weeks earlier as you know we performed once again on the Alan Titchmach Show (which we told you on the last blog, but we didn’t give all the details).  It was great to be back, and I have to say we had an absolute blast! We love performing on his show. They always treat us so well there. At the end of our performance, we were presented with our Gold Records which was a great surprise. So when the site gets updated with that clip, you’ll see that we are completely surprised and had no idea!! Good fun Though after the show, we celebrated the occasion with a bit of champagne which was not the best idea for me since I hadn’t eaten anything that day!! I fell asleep as soon as I got home.
The other night we had the pleasure of attending the opening night of the musical Jersey Boys on the West End. It’s the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons (you all know the songs......Walk Like a Man, Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, etc).  It truthfully is one of the best shows I have personally seen in the past ten years (next is Billy Elliot)!  The show has been sold out on Broadway since it opened and currently has 6 productions running around the world to sold out crowds. I highly recommend the show to everyone. You will walk out singing the songs....... Also the cast is fantastic. I really can’t say enough about it!
Past that point, we are just in the middle of rehearsing some new songs (which you will hear about soon) not to mention some other cool news to come. So check back again in a few weeks.
As always, we hope that you are all well and want to again thank you for all your support!

Hey Everyone,

Jeremiah (writing but with everyone looking over my shoulder ) here. Today we performed on the Alan Titchmarsh show, and afterward we were in our dressing room and had a chat about the tour and, of course, all our fans here on the forum........
First and for most we wanted to say thank you to everyone who have been constant supporters of ours, and also to apologize that you haven’t heard from us directly on the issue of this UK tour. It’s because of your support that we have gotten to the point that we have......(i.e. a gold record, etc). Please know that has not been forgotten, and never will be.........
Truthfully you haven’t heard from us because we ourselves didn’t know what was happening. No one is more bummed out than us that this tour has been put aside. We had grand plans and were looking forward to not only singing songs from our album but also many of our personal favorites.
Those of you who have bought tickets for the tour and are planning on keeping them for future dates...... Please return them for a refund   ....... we as a group spoke about it today, and though there is talk out there of new dates being added...... WE just aren’t sure if, and or when that will be. So we as a group wanted to make sure that those of you who have taken the time to purchase tickets don’t lose your money.  Again we are so sorry to all if you have been put out by this goofy situation. Thank you all again for being so supportive and understanding
As for an update..... The past few weeks have been crazy. We have done a ton of charity galas, and performed 2 weeks ago on “This Morning” and again today on the “AT” show (which was the 2nd time we performed there!!). Both were great fun getting a chance to again perform one of our favorite songs from the album, “Luck Be A Lady”...... As you will all see once the new videos get uploaded (and yes we have been told that the website will be updated soon!!!!  ) And Stephen and Andrew’s bit during “LBAL” today was hooolarious......... Andrew got down on one knee and started to give Stephen a shoe shine for which Stephen promptly paid him a pound hahahahaha (this was all during the music break) Simon and myself were dying hahahahahahaha...... Other than that we are in talks about a new tour in Malaysia where Stephen has a very big following (not just his mother by the way ) and several different one off performances in the next few months. One being in Egypt which I myself am very excited about because it has been a life long dream of mine to see the pyramids........ So thats all for now..... but more to come soon.
We hope that all of you are well, and we are wishing you the best!

The guys.....  

Im typing from my hotel room in Dubai with a great view of the persian gulf on my right (I have a rather strange elephant shaped lamp, which has no trunk, or eyes, illuminating beside me and helping me to type. perhaps it is a guinea pig). We’ve been here for quite a few days and although the weather hasn’t been great I have still managed to get (being English - where we rarely see the sun) a not completely flattering red face. No doubt it will all peel off soon, so that should be fun.

Yes it is Steve’s birthday so Happy Birthday Steve! from the other three who have failed every friendship test by not getting you a present. However our hotel has no shops nearby and the shop in our hotel only stocks miniature gold camels… we’ll get you something at the airport.

we are performing at the Burj Al Arab tonight, the world’s only ‘7 star’ hotel (it has a tennis court on its helipad, 1000 feet in the air), so we are all getting ready to leave, have dinner there, then perform.

We are all really excited about the upcoming tour and to meeting those of you that can make it. Performing in live theatre is where we have all come from and connecting with an audience is really what it’s all about.

bye for now, much love

Andrew x

PS An Update!

We brought in the New Year with a bang by performing on the BBC 1 New years count down! It was an absolute blast. Though I was getting over a nasty cold it was great just being back performing with the guys. Andrew who had all but lost his voice after a nasty bought with the flu, showed his resolve as performer.He stepped up by saving just enough voice for our performance that evening (Most performers would have used a backing tracks.)and pushed through. We ran in into a very similar situation a few weeks back while we were performing a radio tour. Simon had a bought with a chest infection. Because of the continuos hard coughing he had almost completely lost his voice as well. Once again I was very impressed with resolve one of my compatriots. Though he was very ill he traveled for over six hours in a car and performed two concerts!! What can I say I work with rock stars!!!  
So we all had a week to go home and be with our families for Christmas which was wonderful. My wife and myself flew home to the US and surprised our family.... (They were not planning on seeing us until the spring!!!!!) The look on their faces was priceless. (We just showed up at the front door) Andrew, Simon and Stephen went home to their families as well, and just like myself all ate until we could’nt stand up. We hope all of you had wonderful christmases as well..... As for the coming new year.... We have a tour planned for May, and are are going to continue to promote our new album!! So thats it for now..... More to come soon!!
