Hi tamkatie, and welcome to the PQG Board! The Melbourne production is surely going to have an understudy for the role of Mr Banks, same as for all the other roles. As far as we know PQ is scheduled to perform every show (Wed to Sun), except of course unpredictable circumstances. As for planned holidays, it's still too early to find out, but generally speaking performers do not take holidays the first 2-3 months. Best of luck! The PQG Team

Exactly which video are you having trouble with, Tammy?

I have just seen the new pic of Philip on the main site and I must say I'm actually quite liking the mature student/college lecturer look. It must be the glasses.
"The very first Australian performance was on Wednesday 14 July, and the 'House Full' sign has already made several appearances! Audiences were simply enchanted as the characters they knew and songs they loved were transformed into magic, live on stage. And the response after the show? "It is just awesome..."

There is another picture of the beautifully lit HMT available on the link below. I've had a look at the outsides of the other theatres showing MP on the Disney facebook site, and this is by far the best. Well done HMT

Thought you might like this little linky from 'Stage Whispers'. Interesting article and a little piece from Philip about how he was enjoying rehearsals.
