 Re: Les Mis London Alumni... What's next? David is far too good for a role that could be upstaged by a lunging Christine mannequin.
Dude has to work, I know. But just saying.

Re: Les Mis London Alumni... What's next? As I said, I haven't seen LND - and I'm not really a fan of POTO - but I found Raoul from POTO to be a little bit soppy and (as Eppie-Sue says) more Marius-like. I personally think David does his best work in the darker, more tortured roles (see second part of Passion as opposed to the opening) and it sounds like LND!Raoul is a more a role he can really sink his teeth into. Can't really see him in POTO as anything other than the Phantom. Happy for people to disagree though  YES  Quite like to see him in something properly operatic, too. Just out of curiosity, really.

Re: Les Mis London Alumni... What's next? I'd just quite like to hear him sing All I Ask of You one day!

Re: Les Mis London Alumni... What's next? In case anyone's interested, he's bloody fantastic and dreadfully underused.

Re: Les Mis London Alumni... What's next? I have to admit, I actually like the songs Raoul gets to sing in Love Never Dies, so I think all in all good move Thaxton. (I think though the songs aren't any worse than any of the Webber production . . . it's just the story is absolute crack, in a bad way. But then, I don't like the song "Till I Hear You Sing" and I like "The Beauty Underneath", so my taste may be a bit wonky. )
