The original Merrily We Roll Along cast members from 42 years ago have met the current cast. Back in 1981 the musical debuted on Broadway. On that day they also auctioned off a shirt signed by both the old and new cast members to raise funds for BC/EFA (Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS) as part of the earlier announced Red Bucket Follies fundraising. It was sold for $15,000. Video below.

Update: 4th December 2023. More photos on Facebook by Andy Henderson. This one and another group photo.

David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived UK premiere

The Sky UK premiere of David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived the documentary, produced in association with HBO, took place on 16th November. A Q&A took place with executive producer Daniel, David Holmes himself and director Dan Hartley. Daniel joined from New York via Zoom. There are quotes via express.co.uk and variety.com.

Daniel:

“I had always wanted to do something about Dave because I wanted to share him with the world for the person that he is. And Dave’s natural humility meant that he was kind of unsure about that for a while — he wanted to make something broader about stunts in general. But eventually, I sort of convinced him that he should be front and center of it,”
 Some Harry Potter co-stars attended the event.
