Together Again by Hadley Fraser and Will Butterworth on Oct. 11th at 6:30 PM (British? Time). NOTE: There is a Virtual Meet & Greet option (could be new, I didn’t see it when I got the tickets when the event was announced! @faded-florals) Cost: £12 – £35.

Tonight at the London Coliseum with Ramin Karimloo on Oct. 23rd at 2:30 PM (Eastern Time). This is a UK-only event, the site won’t load if you’re not “from the UK”. Cost: £18.

Radio Free Birdland presents Sierra Boggess on Nov. 13th at 7:00 PM (Eastern Time). Cost: $23.50.

I’m sure there are other happenings around, these are just the ones I’m “going to see”. I miss live theater.

[faded-florals]

I didn’t know about the meet and greet either! Thank you for letting me know, of course I had to buy a M&G ticket too… 😅💕

You, at the Barricades, listen to this: The people of Paris sleep in their beds. You have no chance, no chance at all. Why throw your lives away?

[georgemallory-deactivated201604]

Who is this? If you answered “that asshole soldier that shot Gavroche” then, A. No, and B. We’re not friends. Let’s talk about this guy (who by the way is played by the wonderful and amazing and talented and somewhat scene-stealing Hadley Fraser who has played both Marius and Grantaire in different productions of Les Misérables). This National Guardsman is not an “asshole,” or a “heartless bastard,” no. Look at the shine to eyes, his expressions, listen to the desperation in his voice as he sings these lines.

Watch him after Gavroche is shot. Pay attention to how he keeps looking away as he’s pleading with the boys of the Barricade to step down, how he shakes his head rapidly, almost childishly, like someone who refuses to believe what’s happening right in front of their eyes. He doesn’t know these boys individually, but he knows they are just that: boys. Students, idealistic young men whose courage and tenacity anyone would admire, even the Guards.

And yet, this man knows that their deaths are inevitable, and that if it isn’t him to bring it about, some other unit will, and he’d be court martialed and put before a firing squad for failure to carry out a direct order. He isn’t manipulating them, he isn’t threatening or coercing them, he is genuinely pleading with Les Amis from the bottom of his heart, because there is nothing in the world he would want to do less than cut these brave young Frenchmen down in the primes of their lives.

Partial set list of the postponed “Phantom of the Opera” reunion concert in Japan

[whispersandthenakiss]

This is the first thing I saw when I woke up this morning:

New twitter banner!

But then I got curious so I googled what egg printing is

At the very least, it is not what I expected

[whispersandthenakiss]

Welp that explains this

Missing Moscow

Major throwback!

Hadley plays Alexander, Russian immigrant in the short film Missing Moscow. Just to give a bit more context, this is what the short story is about:

Idiotlamp’s first short film, made in 2003, is a spoof documentary following a group of Russian immigrants living in London, as a fictional documentary crew desperately try to force their contributors to toe the line. Shot by directors Jim Field Smith and George Kay, and the re-edited and re-subtitled with a made-up narrative, the film premiered at the Raindance East Film Festival and was later broadcast by Channel 4. (Source)

TRIVIA!

This short was directed by Jim Field Smith, who also happened to direct The Wrong Mans and the episode of Endeavour that Hadley appeared in. Talk about connections!

FULL LENGTH FILM

After watching this, we have a lingering question: Do you think they’re ACTUALLY speaking Russian or it’s just gibberish? HAHAHAHAHAHHA Penny for your thoughts?

[emotionallyslightlyvague]

I can’t understand anything so I guess legit enough?? Also did Hadley even say a word?? And of course, to nobody’s surprise, Hadley plays the drinking buddy…

[whispersandthenakiss]

@emotionallyslightlyvague Nope, not a single word lol I was kind of hoping that he would because that could have been the giveaway if they were actually speaking Russian hahahaha

[whispersandthenakiss]

I mean if I were associated with the arts and have £100 to spare, I would totally have a go

[whispersandthenakiss]

Just look at these cutieeeeees urgh love them so much

[alittlepawblog]

Saint Joan

Hadley plays Dunois, the commander of the French forces, in this 2016 production of Saint Joan. It ran at the Donmar Warehouse from December 9, 2016 - February 18, 2017 and was directed by Josie Rourke.

May we point out that if you look through Hadley’s glasses, you could tell that the man is absolutely blind without it. Now we can confirm why he hit that table in POTO@RAH lol

CLIP FROM THE SHOW

This is one of our favorite moments from the show. It was a really awesome introduction for Hadley’s character. We recently watched the play and found that it is definitely not for everyone. As theatre noobs (frankly we were just watching for Hadley lol), it was a bit much for us. That being said, we may be a tad bit biased but Hadley was reaaaally good in this play. We highly encourage you to see it.

(frankly we were just watching for Hadley lol)

this quote there…story of my life. in the past 3 months, i watch plays like never before (coriolanus, st. joan, winter’s tale, etc that available) like i know what i’m doing, but i’m not. i just admiring Hadley. Hadley looks amazingly handsome in this play (well he always does)

[whispersandthenakiss]

Hey! It’s D from @hadleyfraser101 here. I’m using our main coz I want to keep the other one exclusively for the timeline lol

Anywayyyyyy you mentioned something abt being cultured because of Hadley? We joke about this too! Lol even our music taste is becoming a bit more jazz-y. (well, mostly me lol)

[alittlepawblog]

YESS, well i’ve listened to Jazz but you know Pop-y Jazz, not Hadley kind of Jazz, and i’ve been listening to Hadley’s playlist on spotify ‘swinging with the sharks’ not my kind of music ofc, but for Hadley!

[whispersandthenakiss]

Ahh yes, that’s a good one! But nothing beats Hadley singing jazz tho. Like Hushabye Mountain just really hits differently hahaha
