Happy Holidays!!

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. cheese
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!!! wink
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

Hello guys
Thanks for yet another fabulous blog and continuing to keep us updated with your ‘comings & goings’
The past year in Teatro land has been nothing short of exciting and adventurous.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing you as a group singing in a beautiful setting back in June & then the added thrill of seeing Jeremiah around the country in ‘Carousel’.
If next year is as exciting as this year,well its going to be simply awesome!

TEATRO-I wish you all a very happy christmas & a happy ‘n’ sucessful new year!

Steve did a great job as Hang Tuah in Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical. Check out YouTube for some clips.

Way to go Steve!

Steve, you were great in the Malaysian Musical, Puteri Gunung Ledang. Went to see you twice this season. Hope to see you soon again, perhaps in the West End. You autographed my poster on the last performance 22/2/09. Think I was the only one that asked you guys to autograph a poster that night. I just received my copy of your Teatro CD. Ordered it all the way from UK thru Amazon. What a supporter I am huh? Do you have any other broadway tunes cds?

Jonathan
As far as we’re aware there are no other cd’s around featuring the voices of the lads from Teatro…
Do you have the first PGL cd that was recorded in 2006?

Does anyone know how I can get the teatro CD here in the US? I tried itunes and Amazon and got an error message saying that I was out of the geographic region for downloads and regular mail.  Any suggestions?
