Rob Guest


Rob Guest died last night after a massive stroke!  He was only 57.    :~C

I have adored him since I saw him as Jean Valjean in Les Mis in 1990!  I saw him as the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera the year after, and again, just a few weeks ago, as the Wizard in Wicked.   But he will always be Jean Valjean for me.

Have to go listen to him sing Les Mis now.  *sob*

Sorry to hear this, it's always hard when an actor you really like passes.

Isn't it sad - he was far too young to die :(

So sad. I'm so glad I got to see him in Wicked. That was the only time I've ever seen him on stage but he was awesome.
