Jeez, the BETM and Wicked cast don't have to go very far.

Perhaps they can tap and dance their way down the street.

My rubbish video of Kaine and the BETM cast performing at West End Live on Saturday 23d June 2012.
Filmed on an iPhone and complete with the sound problem at the beginning (change of backing track) and watch out for my fingers appearing a couple of times as I was holding the phone up high to try and avoid the tall Chinese guy who appears throughout in the bottom right.

Also, in speaking to Kaine later in the afternoon, Kaine said they forgot to put the chair on at the end, so the cast just lifted him up by his legs rather than him sitting on the chair for the chair lift at the end of the Finale.

and here is a better high quality video of the performance.

Also, a video of the Sylvia Young Theatre School who performed a 70's medley at West End Live, featuring ex-Billy Josh Baker and ex-Michael Jake Pratt. (see if you can recognise Jake).
