NOTES: HadesWasKing's Master . Clear Audio from Stalls, sometimes instruments can overpower voices as I was quite close to speaker, start is very bass-heavy but gets much better very quickly. Sorry I couldn't tell which children were on. Will update if I can find out who they are.

Waitress - UK Tour - April 21, 2022 - HadesWasKing's Master (Untracked + Tracked .mp3)
CAST: Aimée Fisher (u/s Jenna), Scarlet Gabriel (u/s Becky), Charlie Martin (u/s Dawn), Matt Jay-Willis (Dr. Pomatter), George Crawford (Ogie), Ben Morris (u/s Cal), Christopher Hunt (u/s Joe), Mark Willshire (e/c Earl), Amelia Atherton (u/s Nurse Norma), Donal Brennan (s/w), Olivia Mitchell (s/w), Monique Ashe-Palmer, Brian Roland, Liam Mchugh
NOTES: Very Understudy-filled show with only 2 principal cast members performing their roles. All of the ensemble are performing split tracks and features the return of Mark Willshire to the role of Earl! Absolutely fantastic show despite the circumstances. I believe this is the first time there's been a cover on for all 3 waitresses during the tour. Audio gets muffled towards the start due to latecomers but is quickly fixed.

Waitress - UK Tour - April 22, 2022 - HadesWasKing's Master (Untracked + Tracked .mp3)
CAST: Olivia Mitchell (u/s Jenna), Scarlet Gabriel (u/s Becky), Charlie Martin (u/s Dawn), Matt Jay-Willis (Dr. Pomatter), George Crawford (Ogie), Ben Morris (u/s Cal), Christopher Hunt (u/s Joe), Mark Willshire (e/c Earl), Amelia Atherton (u/s Nurse Norma), Donal Brennan (s/w), Laura Selwood (e/c), Monique Ashe-Palmer, Brian Roland
NOTES: Another night of Waitress' disastrous stop at Edinburgh. Olivia Mitchell's fantastic debut in the role of Jenna, the first woman of colour and youngest person to play Jenna in the UK! All of the ensemble are performing split tracks again, featuring the return of Laura Selwood to the ensemble and Mark Willshire's second night of being an emergency cover! Olivia does start 'What Baking Can Do' too early but quickly recovers. Scarlet also has trouble putting down Charlie's hair, which is why there's a bit of silence followed by laughter and applause.

Singin' in the Rain - UK TOUR - April 29, 2022 - HadesWasKing's Master (Untracked + tracked .mp3)
CAST: Sam Lips (Don Lockwood), Charlotte Gooch (Kathy Selden), Faye Tozer (Lina Lamont), Ross Mclaren (Cosmo Brown), Dale Rapley (R. F. Simpson), Sandra Dickinson (Dora Bailey)
NOTES: Absolutely fantastic performance by the current UK tour cast and from my understanding the first released audio of this cast. Great quality recorded from the stalls. Occasional strange noises coming from behind me by an audience member and you'll hear a little bit of whispering from the people beside me as they fall in love with the BSL interpreter.

Recorded in mono as I was quite near a speaker but turned out better than i was expecting! The Ram and Kurt Stripping scene takes a while as they had some trouble but they got there in the end and they played it off very well NFT except through me until 31/08/2021
Six - West End (Lyric Theatre) | July 22, 2021 Matinee | .mp3 (Untracked), .mp3 (Tracked) | HadesWasKing's Master
Cast : Jarneia Richard-Noel (Catherine of Aragon), Courtney Bowman (Anne Boleyn), Natalie Paris (Jane Seymour), Collette Guitart (u/s Anna of Cleves), Sophie Isaacs (Katherine Howard), Hanna Stewart (s/b Catherine Parr)
Notes : Clear audio from back of the stalls. Dropped my phone on the floor to give a standing ovation so audio might be a little muffled for the megasix. My horrible laugh can also be heard throughout. Please don’t share publicly. Tracked by Cheshiremayo. NFT except through me until 31/08/2021
Come From Away (Phoenix Theatre) | July 22, 2021 | Reopening Night | .mp3 (Untracked), .mp3 (Tracked)| HadesWasKing's Master
Cast: Alice Fearn (Beverley/Annette & others), Mark Dugdale (Kevin T./Garth & others), James Doherty (Claude & others), Harry Morrison (Oz & others), Emma Salvo (Janice & others), Jonathan Andrew Hume (Kevin J./Ali & others), Alasdair Harvey (Nick/Doug & others), Kate Graham (Diane & others), Gemma Knight Jones (Hannah & others), Jenna Boyd (Beulah & others), Mary Doherty (Bonnie & others), Sam Oladeinde (Bob & others)
Notes: The most enthusiastic audience you could ever ask for! Including a very long standing ovation for “Welcome to the rock”. Sometimes some lines are missed because of the pure energy in that room but what a sight to behold. Mic issues for Jenna Boyd at the start but they quickly get sorted out in time for her second line. Everyone gave a fantastic performance and I wish I had seen this show sooner. Really clear audio for the royal circle. Person beside me had seen it many times, so there was the odd laugh before a joke. Tracked by HadesIsHere. NFT except through me until 31/08/2021
Amélie | West End | 21st July 2021 Matinee | HadesWasKing’s Master (MP3 tracked, MP3 untracked)
Cast: Audrey Brisson (Amélie Poulain), Nuwan Hugh Perera (Nino Quincampoix), Johnson Willis (Dufayel / Collignon), Jez Unwin (Raphaël Poulain / Bretodeau), Rachel Dawson (Amandine Poulain / Philomene), Kate Robson-Stuart (Suzanne), Sioned Saunders (Gina), Flora Spencer-Longhurst (Georgette / Sylvie / Collignon's Mother), Caolan McCarthy (Hipolito / Collignon's Father / Elton John), Oliver Grant (Lucien / Mysterious Man), Samuel Morgan-Grahame (Joseph / Fluffy / Suicidal Tourist), Jack Quarton (Blind Beggar), Robyn Sinclair (Cecile), Miiya Alexandra (Delphine), Matthew James Hinchliffe (Raymond)
Notes: Very clear recorded from front of the stalls. On a rare occasion the instruments can overpower the singing but I'm really proud of how it came out. Nuwan has only been on for Nino a couple times at this point and he did a fantastic job with the highlight of his being "When The Booth Goes Bright". Audrey Brisson was PERFECT as always and rest of the cast seemed on top form!

Notes: Nice and clear audio of the 35th Anniversary gala night. Includes speeches and Happy Birthday at the end (Only this part is muffled as I dropped my phone to give a standing ovation) Haven't listened to this one back but from my understanding not too many rude audience members in this one, what a relief. I was pretty hungry so one or two times you may hear my stomach rumble. I had not eaten, I am sorry.
Hamilton - West End - June 28, 2022 - HadesWasKing's Master (Untracked .mp3)
CAST: Alex Sawyer (alt Alexander Hamilton), Shan Ako (Eliza Hamilton), Jordan Frazier (u/s Eliza Hamilton), Manaia Glassey-Ohlson (s/b Aaron Burr), Allyson Ava Brown (Angelica Schuyler), Aaron Lee Lambert (s/b George Washington), Waylon Jacobs (Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson), Emile Ruddock (Hercules Mulligan/James Madison), Jake Halsey-Jones (John Laurens/Philip Hamilton), Roshani Abbey (Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds), Joel Montague (King George III), Matthew Elliot-Campbell (James Reynolds/Philip Schuyler/Doctor), Matthew Caputo (Samuel Seabury), Filippo Coffano (Charles Lee), Curtis Angus (George Eaker), Olivia Kate Holding, Jade Albertsen, Ashley Daniels, Kelly Downing, Jordan Frazier, Deangelo Jones, Lindsey Tierney
NOTES: Overall just a very chaotic performance! Eliza switch in Act 2 from Shan Ako to Jordan Frazier, this is Alex Sawyer's second performance as Hamilton and there was quite a nervous vibe coming from him, I'm sure he will get better with time. A few mistakes from him, In Battle of Yorktown he misses the "Gotta start a new nation" line. Take a Break gets very confusing at one point.

CAST:Seán Carey (t/r Charles Cholmondeley and others), Claire-Marie Hall (Jean Leslie and others), Natasha Hodgson (Ewen Montagu and others), Jak Malone (Hester Leggett and others), Zoe Roberts (Johnny Bevan and others).
NOTES: Fantastic clear audio from near the front. During the "glitzy finale", Seán breaks his Charlie glasses so both him and Natasha have an ad-lib each surrounding this.
