00:00good afternoon my name is phil hewitt group arts editor at sussex newspapers lovely to speak again

00:06to adam fox from chaos musical productions now you always do interesting things roles will never

00:13play and it's july the 31st to august 2nd at westbourne house explain that concept roles

00:20will never play what makes that for everyone uh so roles will play is one of the kind of newer

00:26concert concepts that's come out recently in that it's based around people that are not the normal

00:32casting type singing songs that would have been that casting type so if you're 30 you're playing

00:39a child role there's some male female gender swaps there so us guys get to have a a shout at some of

00:45the big female numbers um and vice versa uh there's little twists in there so just anything where you

00:52wouldn't expect that performer to be doing that song and for you personally it's a chance to do

00:58consider yourself from oliver way past the moment where you thought yes at the ground i will be

01:05doing the 14 year old dodger yeah because i uh i never got the chance when i did it when we did

01:10oliver so it's uh it's nice to get that one uh ticked off the list and you suggested the song why was it

01:15in your mind to do that one uh well i obviously saw it at cft um chichester festival theater uh last

01:22year um and it was it's a hell of a rousing chorus number i thought it'd be good as a big ensemble

01:28piece as well so it again never got the chance to do it when i was the right age to do it um and

01:34it fits quite nicely with a big old ensemble jaunt at the end of act one absolutely and the whole show

01:40is about people stretching themselves a bit isn't it presumably yeah it's it's different where you

01:47kind of play around with keys of songs and stuff like that to try and find something that fits

01:51um different vocal types and it's yeah it really stretches the cast that you've got uh to be put in

01:57places where they wouldn't normally be put in um and it's really interesting from that point of view

02:02for sure fantastic well lovely to speak to you again i'm sure it would go brilliantly thank you no
