Miss Saigon cast welcome West End guest to final rehearsals

West End actor, Alistair Brammer called in to see the hard working cast while they putting their final touches to their latest show, Miss Saigon, which opened at the Island Hall this week.

Alistair is no stranger to Miss Saigon as he is currently playing ‘Chris’ in the smash-hit West End version.

A seasoned performer, he has been involved in musical theatre for many years and made his West End debut as Marius in Les Miserables in 2009, where he spent 18 months in the role.

He also played the role of Jean Prouvaire in the Les Misérables 25th Anniversary Concert at the O2 on October 3, 2010.

His credits include the European tour of Hair, the 2012 revival of Taboo at the Brixton Clubhouse, and until March 2014 was playing Billy and understudying Albert in the West End production of War Horse. Alistair also played Jean Prouvaire in the 2012 film Les Misérables.

Alistair spent time talking to the cast about his experiences in the West End, as well as giving them tips on how some of the Miss Saigon characters should be played.

He also spoke to Fusion’s own ‘Chris’, Adam Williamson and gave him some valuable advice on how to portray the character.

The popular West End star then posed with photographs with the cast including a ‘selfie’ of Alistair and the cast that has been tweeted across the UK.

Performances of Miss Saigon run from Wednesday September 10 until Saturday September 13.
