Uncommonly Interesting News
How very appropriate! Our Oliver has been signed up to appear in the new Cameron Macintosh version of "Oliver" (by far the most exciting musical production in London's West End!) He's currently in rehearsals and the show should open this week at the Theatre Royal on Drury Lane. And guess who he is working along side? Guess who is playing (You gotta pick a pocket or two) Fagin? ....How absolutely perfik - YAY! Its only MR BEAN! Rowan Atkinson is absolutely ideal as the gangly gang leader - and the Tony award winning musical director and my own personal favourite choreographer is Matthew Bourne! I don't know if you've ever seen his version of Nut Cracker but it really is very pink, gorgeous and outrageously funny. If you think you don't like ballet.....think again! - You should also check out his all male version of "Swan Lake" Hillarious!
Earlier in the Year the BBC aired a weekly show called "I'd Do Anything" featuring Andrew Lloyd Webber and John Barrowman as judges to "Find Nancy". Out of thousands of contestants, a winner was chosen. Jody Prenger and .....Good grief! - I've just wikepedid her and apparently she won the second series of The Biggest Loser in 2006, starting the show a size 26 and weighing 18st 2lbs. During the series, she lost over eight stone and her final weight was 9st 9lbs!!!!! WOW!
Stop Press! .....Mr Macintosh has Adeste Fiddles in his car stereo!........During a recent after hours "lock in" at a Dickensian pub very close to the scene of rehearsals, the blatantly self promoting Mr.Lewis was seen by an insider passing a copy of "Adeste Fiddles" to the illustrious producer. Apparently the sub text "Christmas with a Twist" caught his eye :) Perfik!

So, Question - What goes Oh Oh Oh? - Answer - Santa walking backwards (I opened my cracker early this year :) Speeks soon x

I don't really have a response to the post so much as a question for you. My sister and I were both wondering if you had ever considered licensing some of your songs to the company that makes the video game Dance Dance Revolution? She is an avid DDR fan and I'm in the process of becoming one, and quite frankly some of your songs would be perfect for them. If you feel this might be worth looking into, Kaitlyn and I would definately suggest "Frogger", "Les Belles", and "Big Bad Bumble". Personally, I would also suggest "Tocata in Fog", "The Lying King", "Gypsy Cream", "Flight of the Crimson Queen", and maybe "Really Big Swan". I really hope you consider this, because we would both be thrilled to recognise your songs on a future version of the game.
OH! Jaedyn-Tyler,
I'm SO sorry, didn't see this comment! I will look into this for sure! May I ask how you found us? We are always amazed at the different places people hear about Deviations Project!
