"Fraser is also very good. He shows us Freddie’s charm as well as his blithe carelessness and he’s very convincing as a drunk."

Exclusive: Audience had ‘vitriolic reaction’ to European tone of musical, forced to close early
Hadley is not mentioned in this article, BUT the second to last sentence is "Wainwright said he was working on the cast album of the show, which he hopes can give it another life."
So perhaps with luck there may be TWO albums forthcoming where we can hear Hadley sing.

Episode Description
In the last weeks of Opening Night, Hadley Fraser kindly sat down with us to talk about his experience with the show and to look back on some of his recent credits too. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Music, Hadley has proven himself to be one of the most versatile actors on the West End stage, taking on principal roles in both musicals and classic plays. Hadley has also worked extensively in regional theatre, championing venues like Chichester Festival Theatre, Sheffield Crucible and Manchester's Royal Exchange. During Josie Rourke's tenure at the Donmar Warehouse, he also worked closely with the Donmar team on a number of shows including Coriolanus, Saint Joan and City of Angels. The Donmar was also where he met his now-wife: Olivier nominee Rosalie Craig with whom they share a daughter. The couple still occasionally work together, most recently on a livestream of Stuart Matthew Price's Before After and we look forward to seeing the pair on stage again soon.
In this new interview, Hadley Fraser opens up about his experience as a performer and as a creative. He talks to us about his current experience of putting together Opening Night with Ivo Van Hove and discusses the importance of taking risks, even when in a difficult financial climate. He admits he was aware the show would split opinion but remained intrigued by the avant-garde director's vision of the show and shares his admiration for Wessex Grove Productions, Rufus Wainwright and Ivo Van Hove. As he prepares to take his final bows next month, he remains grateful for the time spent with this company as he looks ahead to life after Opening Night.
Opening Night runs at Gielgud Theatre until 18th May with tickets available NOW.https://open.spotify.com/episode/5EH6t9c1BwWoHdlScSsttEhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/5EH6t9c1BwWoHdlScSsttE
Rufus Wainwright and Ivo Van Hove's misguided musical is bewilderingly terrible on almost every front
"The characters struggle to make it into two dimensions, let alone three. All the men, including brutally self-serving director Manny (Hadley Fraser), are odious and all the women increasingly deranged."

"We follow [Sheridan Smith] as she ..... contends with the desolations of stardom as well as the controlling men around her: Manny (Hadley Fraser), the play-within-the-play’s director who goes from charmer to bully in seconds"
The Guardian gave the show a four star review!
Anyone actually seen that can give us a review of Hadley the bully?
