Merry Christmas Everyone!

So sorry I've not posted for a LONG while. I had a major breakdown of my pc. I had a virus get into both it and my backup, and lost EVERYTHING. My Apocalypse came early :( But thought I'd come on and wish you all 'a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year'.

Its been a while...

...since I posted anything on here, but here is a little link from 'The Stage'. An article on Mark Shenton's favourite leading musicals men.

An interview!!

This was detailed on 'the Philip Quast Guide' (the wonderful source of a lot of PQ info). It is an interview with Philip. Some of the answers he gives may be known about if you are a hardened PQ fan ;), but a good article if you want to know a bit about what inspires him .

A pic!!

Quast now based in Oz??

In a snippet from Mark Shenton's blog in 'The Stage', Philip Quast is now based in Australia. Good news for all his Aussie fans, not so good for the rest of us :( But my best wishes and good luck to all his adventures back in Oz.

"It was splendid to see them all on the same stage, and proves once again the strength in numbers of Aussie musical talent which has also stretched from Hugh Jackman to three-time Olivier winner Philip Quast in the West End. (Quast is now based in Australia again, after living in London for over twenty years, and by coincidence my partner and I had a long lunch at his Sydney home before we went to seeAnnie; the next day he left for Melbourne, to begin rehearsals to lead the company of the Australian premiere of Yes Prime Minister, opening in Melbourne at the end of January)."
