This was the first proper musical I saw, this weekend just gone, and it was incredible.. absolutely loved it. My wife and I both said that Hugh was more George than George 🤣
Thank you so much for sharing this very interesting interview. 😍
Hugh Coles is doing such a great work on George McFly. Love his acting!
I remember when we first saw the Musical in Manchester at Press Night everyone was freaking out at this scene at "Put Your Mind To It".
Back then we talked about George McFly of being the real star of the show.
It is his story that is being told. And Hugh played him so brilliantly.
Dick Jagger was a really funny line in New York, too. People around me laughed a lot. 😆
Another scene that got everyone in Manchester and London freaking out was when the fist went into Biff's face.
I was missing a little bit the enthusiasm of the viewers in New York. It was also celebrated there, but not as extreme as in the UK. 😉
Would love to see the videos of all the shows. 🤗
☑We will vote everytime.
So happy (after hoping for it in Manchester and London) to got finally a picture with Hugh Coles in New York. 😄
That was such a good interview, I love Hugh Coles, he is a really funny guy. Can’t wait to see the show several more times!
Really enjoyed that interview, thanks guys - so happy you got Hugh he's incredible as George and seems like a genuinely great guy!
Out of curiosity, how old is Hugh? I’ve scoured the internet and haven’t been able to find anything - it’s hard to believe that this role is his theatre debut!
Utterly fantastic interview 🙂
Find the comments about seating interesting, we've been 3 times, first time was right at the back at the top, second visit we went row d, and it's a very different experience, third time we went row a, front and center, with the kids, and the kids loved seeing the guys wave to them, we've just booked our forth visit and we're going for row G this time, as our main gripe with row A was you miss the front of the stage as your below the stage level.
That was brilliant :)
Love the original trilogy
