The Musical.\u201d So that is a round -about way of flagging up Risen!<br \/>\nI may have said that with the help of Edward Baker- Duly (who plays Luke in AJOF) I have rewritten Risen! to make it more accessible to those who are not familiar with the story. It is also being orchestrated by Harry Wells so that when it is performed again we will not use backing tracks but instead a live band on stage. Not sure if I have shared with you the new prologue, but if not I will next week.<br \/>\nRisen! The Musical was first produced as a pilot concert called \u201cA Season of Singing\u201d back in 2012. We then had various productions including it being filmed at the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth in 2016. (please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.risenthemusical.com\/about.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Risen! The Musical ::: About us<\/a>)<br \/>\nIt has been my great pleasure to have stayed in contact with many of the \u201cOriginal London Cast\u201d the name we used for the Risen! cast. Casey Lloyd, who played Cleopas\u2019 friend, directed AJOF. I saw Benny Bright, who played Peter only this Saturday when he was performing in a nearby charity concert. Benny also produced and stars in the Steps tribute Show 5-6- 7- 8 and the Four Seasons tribute show \u201cBye, Bye Baby.\u201d Andrew Dovaston, who played John, performed in our staged concert of \u201cTheophilus- The Musical\u201d as did Katie Forge (Mary Sister of Lazarus and Mary) and Adam Collins (Thaddeus.)<br \/>\nMax Panks, who played Jesus, performed the part of Saul\/Paul in AJOF. Jody May Quirke, who played Mary Magdalene, is a teacher in Dubai and Johnny Fitzharris, who played James is i\/c entertainment for a well -known cruise line company. Caroline Wetherfelt, who played Mary Mother of Jesus, directed and stared in our Risen! The Musical Theatre in Education tour as did Mikey Wooster who played Jesus in the first two Risen! productions.<br \/>\nI also speak with David Murray who played Thomas in Risen! and who performed at our concert featuring the Portsmouth Gospel Choir. Aaron Hayes, who played James son of Alphaeus in Risen! was recently the Technical Director of the Titchfield Festival Theatre and then there is Aaron Peart who played Nathaniel in Risen! Aaron was one of a number of students from the London College of Music who were introduced to the Show especially for the performances that were filmed. As soon as I heard Aaron speak I knew that he was special and here he is entertaining guests of a luxury cruise ship doing such a great job with the classic \u201cUnchained Melody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quote of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3320\" src=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/stsmall507x507-pad600x600f8f8f8.u1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/stsmall507x507-pad600x600f8f8f8.u1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/stsmall507x507-pad600x600f8f8f8.u1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/stsmall507x507-pad600x600f8f8f8.u1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I Will Tell featuring Lucy Stimpson- Maynard from the album I Look Up To The Heavens recorded and produced by John Hodginson Recently I have been sharing stories of our forthcoming musical theatre themed bible study, \u201cA Journey of Faith.\u201d (AJOF) As I have said AJOF is a spin off from our work in progress [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ken-shearsmiths-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3317"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3323,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3317\/revisions\/3323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
