Yeah, I had to register to watch it. I am not sure why he got on TT as his platform of choice, but he's not on Instagram or elsewhere with this particular post.

It's a 10-minute story, so you have no choice but to watch it on TT ;D

So what do you think, folks? I was surprised to hear Mark auditioned 10 guitar players and cared about vibrato and dynamics so much, as well as authenticity and perfect reproducing of his guitar work. Not the words that you usually associate with Mark ;D

I thought for theatre, you just hire a professional who can sightread. But overall, I think this video is a perfect representation of how much MK cares about his music. Attention to detail, working all the time, hands-on approach. Bravo!

By the way, here are audition tapes from Lewis.

He did an spectacular work. I remember in Chichester having to look at the musicians booth as the playing was so much MK that it sounded like if it was MK playing...

Great video. It's a pity that any of what they recorded for the musical gets a release, specially now that it looks like it's dead.

Yeah, right? So much work... Not one, but two long recording sessions... For nothing? I'm not buying the idea it will NEVER get released, but I'm sure it has to see the light of day.
