Oh Dear, I really should have been at the show last night - what with Phil Snowden as Dad and Ollie etc.
Really disappointed. Looking forward to your review pinknick

Have many people seen Phil as Dad? I haven't seen the show many times compared to some, but i've seen Phil as Dad twice, and he was great!

I notice that, with unusual speed, they have updated the official website and Phil Snowden is now listed as playing Mr Braithwaite; they don't appear to have updated the understudy bit, though.

Whilst I'm please that Phil finally gets to play a sub-principal role after so long in the ensemble, I will miss the accordion playing Mr Braithwaite in Deep Into the Ground.

I did offer to teach Phil a bit of Accordion playing when we met him in the bar after one of the shows last week, but he said he had no intention of 'pumping the sqeeze box' :lol: Lovely guy though.

Just a word of praise for Phil who played Dad on Tuesday night even though with his long hair I wondered what sort of Dad he would make to Billy. Over the years this must be the third time I had seen Phil in this role.
Quite a gruff exterior in Act 1 as we would expect but a remarkable portryal of a softening and engaging Dad in act 2. Of particular note was Dad's song at the party. Beautifully and sadly sung with a little patter to recall fondly his ex-wife to begin with and how she had been a good friend to those present at the Christmas party. Overall one of the most evocative renditions of this ballad I can recall which will remain in my memory for a long time. Well done our very versatile performer Phil.

You can briefly see Phil S. in this video from last night's Les Mis concert. I think it might have been his son who actually filmed it. Well done Mr S you have been very busy as I can see.

I didn't realise it was him until Yorksdell told me in the interval!

Those of you in the Milton Keynes area please note that Phil (and another leaving cast member who I cannot recall) are appearing in this years Pantomime 'Dick Whittington'. Phil is playing the Alderman. I believe Chris H is responsible for the music.
