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!
Best Wishes
Jeremiah

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

Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a moment and say Happy New Year to all of our fans and friends!

So we hope that this New Year brings each and everyone of you success and happiness.

Best wishes on the New Year
Jeremiah

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!!

Festive greetings!

Long time no blog. Well, apologies for this but we have been rather busy since the Royal Variety. We met Cliff Richard (do our german friends know who he is?), sang at a charity dinner of his and were subsequently booked by a business Magnate for a performance on his ‘Super-Yacht’ next year. At the Whatsonstage awards we sang luck be a lady and said hello to Michael ball again and Elaine Page (whose BBC Radio 2 show we pre-recorded and is broadcast on Sunday the 23rd); Friday night was Teatro night- also singing was Paul Potts who we had shared a dressing room with at the Royal Variety. Incidentally we also shared a dressing room with Piano Wizard Lang Lang that night - very nice guy, he gave me a high five at the end of the Let it Be finale onstage. This moment of comradery was cruelly cut in the TV edit it seems as I can’t see it anywhere. Thinking about writing to Wogan on ‘points of view’ to complain.

what else? Radio shows. Ken Bruce’s Celebrity pop quiz was probably the most fun i’ve ever had. ever. For this the irrevocable bond of Teatro was challenged. Split into two camps, this was being billed as the fight of the century but to be blunt the competition was over before it begun. firstly- the childhood mates, the 12 year friendship, the ‘untouchables’ and heavy favourites:  Andrew/Simon:  Vs. The challengers and clear underdogs: Jeremiah/Stephen. As those who have listened to it will know - it became embarrasing. It was an absolute mauling. 33-19. Even I was surprised how weak the competition was. I just felt glad that because Jeremiah’s family are in America they wouldnt have been able to tune in and witness his demise live on air to an audience of about 6 million listeners.

We performed at the OK Christmas Party; sipped Tea at the Savoy hotel with two lovely ladies who had won the daily mail competition to meet Teatro; sang on the Wright Stuff; went on Alan Carr’s Christmas Day radio 2 show; performed alongside Katie Melua at the Nordoff-Robbins Carol Service in Chelsea woth readings by Sienna Miller, Bill Nighy and Dame Eileen Atkins; strode the red carpet to the I am Legend (Will Smith) Premiere; crooned Winter Wonderland on the ONE show on BBC 1 and the list goes on…

anyway must stop writing now. I doubt anyone has got this far and is still reading but have a very merry christmas all of you. look out for us on New Year’s Eve on BBC 1 for the live countdown where we will be performing Luck be a Lady.

Thank you to our record company Sony BMG and our management

but most importantly thank you, fans and friends of Teatro, for investing your time, energy and thoughts into us. All of us really do appreciate it and we can’t wait to meet you next year when we finalise our tour!

Merry Christmas

Hi All

Well....where to start? It has been busy busy busy. We’ve released the album (finally) and had to do a lot of promo. Very early mornings.....not like being in a show on the west end, where you don’t have to get up ‘til midday (well I did anyway).
We’re having a great time.....although a bit more sleep would be good for all 4 of us.

We met the QUEEN! It was an absolute thrill doing the Royal Variety Performance, with such massive stars in the line up, like Jon Bon Jovi, Seal, James Blunt, Enrique, Katherine Jenkins & Darcy Bussell, Joan Rivers, Russell Brand, Alan Murray to name only a few.
I think we were all a little star struck but hugely inspired to be in such distinguished and mega talented company. I felt really proud to be there and to be with Jeremiah, Simon and Andrew. We arrived in Liverpool on Saturday and went straight to the Empire for a rehearsal (each act had 45 mins on stage) It was amazing to be on stage again, in a proper theatre......where we belong ,after spending so much time in the studio. We’ve just started using our “In Ears” which kind of cuts you off from the world a little but you get to hear exactly what you want in your head phones.......ie Yourself- really loud and the other 3 guys slightly lower. It was wonderful singing with a live orchestra (Andrew knew the Conductor/MD, really well, so we were in safe hands).
We then had Sunday off........Andrew and myself are Liverpool FC supporters and had to resist going to Anfield to watch the 4-0 thrashing of Bolton.........we would have lost our voices from all the screaming....not a good move seeing as we were singing for Lizzie the next day.
Sunday came and we all absolutely loved it! We had a full dress run with all the lights and smoke and it went very well. It was cool sharing a dressing room with Paul Potts, David Jordan and Lang Lang.
When we got to the show, I think everyone was pretty comfortable......so it was just a case of going out there and enjoying the occasion ; actually I was surprised how calm and cool we all were.
At the end of the show, the whole cast got to sing “Let it be” with Bon Jovi and we had the privilege to be handed Mic’s(think it was just us and Seal who were given them....oh and maybe James Blunt). Then it was the line up and we met Her Majesty! What an honour!......actually I’ve met her a couple o’ times already.....(old friends).....so… she was shaking everyone’s hand and then she saw me and of course had to stop for a chat......that’s when the QUEEN invited ME for christmas dinner up at Balmoral (qurlies!) I told her I had a lot on and would be in touch nearer the time........didn’t want to give the wrong signals, you know.
There was a great party after and another one after that....Andrew and Simon couldn’t get in and I asked James Blunt if he could have a word with the doorman. The bouncer wasn’t having any of it so James apologised and went back in.......I had to give the doorman a signed copy of the album for his mum....that did the trick
Now we are back in London and preparing for lot’s of TV, Radio and live stuff before a well earned xmas break.

Hope you are all well and eating lots and lots of mince pies.

Tune in on Sunday at 8pm and why not tell us how you felt we did. Thank you for your continuing support and hope very much to catch up soon.
Lots of love Stephen.

Hey there everyone!

So tonight we had our gig at Hard Rock London! We had a great time and were well taken care of! It was such a huge honor to be asked to perform for such a great charity event! Its called Global Angels. They are an organization who want to better the lives of impoverished children all over the world.It was wonderful to be apart of this amazing event !
The show went well even though we had a some sound issues that made it very difficult. But we powered through and felt good by the end of our set. Hope some of you were able to make it! If not we will be performing I Dreamed a Dream ( yes only one song ) at the Pigalle Club (LONDON) thursday night at 8:30. Which we also will be performing at the Royal Variety in a week or so!So here is a chance to see it live! Hope to see some of you there!
Also we just finished laying down our first Christmas track O Holy Night! It was great fun. Always great being back working with our producer Nick Patrick. Himself and his family always take such great care of us when we come up to his studio. Its always a pleasure. We have a great time there. In fact we will be heading back there this friday to work on one more Christmas track! I won’t tell you what it is just yet......... One of us will drop a blog while we are working on it in the studio and let you know!!! So check back Fri! Nicks wife by the way is an amazing cook which is another reason we love heading up there!
So I guess that brings us up to date....... If anything else comes up you all will be the first to know about it! Hope all of you out there are well and thank you again for checking in with us.
Best
Jeremiah

Hey everyone!

Tomorrow’s the day of our debut release, and myself & the guys just wanted to thank everyone who has have supported us along the way! This has been an incredible journey for the four of us. Meeting as four individual professional performers. Each one different in their own right.... (Classical,Classical musical theater, Rock, and Pop). Coming together to create this album of which we are all so proud of.
To everyone who has joined Teatromusic.com thank you for all your support you guys rock!!!   Checking in reading our blogs( even though some of us don’t write well LOL) looking at our videos and passing the word on etc. So again as I have said in past blogs thank you a 1000 times.Hopefully in the near future we will have the chance to get out there on the road and meet each and everyone one of you.
Oh as far as an update....... We just got back from a live show down in beautiful Plymouth where were taken very good care of. Though I almost fell on my face as we were walking up the stairs to get on stage!!!! It was really funny..... the whole audience saw........ you all to can laugh LOL Oh!!! Also I saw Stonehenge from the road !!!!! It was great. Now it might not be all that cool to some of you who are from here.... But being from the states I was thrilled.... though all the guys did make fun of me trying to take pictures from the road.
Also to those checking in from America Happy Thanksgiving!!! Though I was not able to be home with my family for the holidays( Everyone at home I Love and miss you ). I hope each and everyone of you were. Enjoy the left overs!!!!
So best wishes to everyone. More blogs to come soon.

Yours truly the second tallest in the group!
Jeremiah

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone (both who came from down the street, and or from another country) who came to see us perform at the switching on of the Marylebone High Street Christmas lights. It was an amazing pleasure to have the opportunely to perform at such a beautiful event! Christmas is a time for family and friends, and we certainly felt that we were surrounded bye both. Thank you all again for your support.

Best wishes for the start of your holiday season,

Jeremiah

PS I am sorry for all the the spelling errors on my last blog. I was a bit tired from our trip to LA, and actually fell asleep in the middle of writing it...... LOL
I promise to proof more closely from now on

See all the photos

Hey there Everyone,

Jeremiah here writing my first Blog entry on the our website........

First of I wanted to thank each and everyone one of you who have taken the time, and become a member of Teatromusic.com. Your support means a great deal to each and everyone of us. We are all very excited about this album and to have such a great show of support is truly inspiring.

So here is a little bit of an update. We have literally just arrived home a few hours ago from a trip to Hollywood CA. So needless we are all a bit jet lagged.......

But as for the trip it was great success. First off for me it was a great homecoming. As you may have read I grew up in LA from the time I was 12 till I moved to NYC in 2003. It was great fun being the tour guide while we were there. We got ourselves a 1969 Caddy (Classic cars are a passion of mine) and we were off.

Though I will say it was distracting at times trying to drive with Andrews camera in my face. (Its a new camera so he never goes anywhere without it.) we packed in as much as we could in those 2 days. We saw everything from the Venice beach to the Hollywood sign and everything in between.

The highlights were the Pantages, Chines, and Kodak theaters. Being guys who love theater as you all well know it was great to show the guys these iconic theaters up close. It was also good fun having the folks from GMTV with us at different points of the trip. Oh and I did get the boys there first IN and OUT Burger witch is a LA most if you ever travel there yourselves.
(I think they are all now addicted)

Then it was off to Ross Kings house which was amazing....(I wanted his TV which was 3 times the size of mine) To film a spot for GMTV. While we were there we also asked Ross if he wouldn’t mind us as a group moving in........LOL. If you could have seen this house you would have understood why we tried. But alas we have a lot of work still to do. Oooh well.

Then it was off to our meeting with an agency that would possibly help us on our future quest to try to come to the United States. It was amazing to have the chance just to sit and chat with these folks. But that is all in the far future. We are of course at present putting all our energy in to the NOV the 26th launch here in the UK. So keep you eyes and ears open for more updates.

Thank you all so much for checking.

Wishing all the best,

Jeremiah

Hello all!

Thank you so much for the continued support of Teatro in the run-up to our first album release, we really appreciate it. We hope to meet some of you when we perform on the 15th November at Marylebone high St!

We are currently doing some radio promotion around the country; so far we have visited many BBC radio centres including Shropshire, Carlisle, Devon, Bristol, Northampton, WM and Leicester. Its actually great fun this interview lark, because us Teatrons get on so well we just have a good time and probably laugh far too much on air.

We heard in the car today that we will be performing at this year’s Royal Variety Performance which we are all over the moon about. It has been a boyhood dream of mine to perform at this event (as I’m it sure it was the others’) and I am especially excited about performing in front of HM Queen Elizabeth (I have invited her on two occasions to see me perform at Windsor Theatre Royal in the past: both times I received a letter from a lady-in-waiting stressing she was flattered but was otherwise busy, I will bring this up with HM when I meet her. She will not get off lightly).

More radio tomorrow but we are all going for dinner tonight and will discover what Nottingham has to offer…

Hope to hear from you!

Hi all,

Wow, what a week! We got back from New York (Broadway) where we did a segment for the Paul O’Grady show with Tracey Chappell, a Welsh lady who owns a sweet shop! Since I was born in Wales we had lots to chat about. It was so funny… every time she spoke Jeremiah just had a blank look on his face - he couldn’t get to grips with her accent at all! (Homer Simpson ‘Doh’). We also met with the Naked Cowboy and sang some songs in a music store.  They had a Karaoke section which was great fun. I sang a rendition of ‘On Broadway’ by George Benson and spent almost $200 on backing tracks: stuff like Mowtown hits; Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael McDonald… gonna put them on in my car so I can sing my heart out!

So back to Blitey and seriously jet lagged.

Yesterday we did BBC News 24 where we met James Dagwell and did a short acappella version of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ and this morning was GMTV. Both were a lot of fun. We had to sing ‘Music of the Night’ at 8am this morning…not fair making us sing so early. It went really well though so we’re all very happy and they’re a fantastic gang at GMTV.  We were all taking photos with Penny Smith - she’s a very cool woman! You can watch the performance in the Video section of this website.

Well… onwards with rehearsals… towards the album launch on the 26th Nov. Everything is happening so fast, there’s no time to catch our breaths.

Thanks for all your support, keep watching and please keep sending us your messages.

Take care and hope to see you all soon,

Stephen x

Teatro will be blogging here very soon so check back to discover everything that’s happening in the world of Teatro.
