Lockdown Duets: Salonga, Noblezada and Espinosa - Oh My!

Social distancing has brought out some really innovative ways to showcase the brilliant talent of our dazzling musical theatre stars. Alistair Brammer, Chris from the recent Broadway and West End revivals of Miss Saigon, came up with another marvelous series - Lockdown Duets.

On the series' Instagram page, Alistair describes the series as "connecting Broadway stars and West End stars in solidarity to sing duets during this time of theatre darkness." It is a true embarassment of riches as Alistair has paired some of the most fabulous performers from both sides of the pond. He has called upon former Miss Saigon co-stars Eva Noblezada, Katie Rose Clarke and Jon Jon Briones and some West End stars you should follow like David Bedella - who we LOVED as Frank-N-Furter in the televised BBC gala perf of The Rocky Horror Show - currently divine in the West End's & Juliet.

Enjoy these marvelous collabs and cheers to Alistair for this awesome series.
