Cast Your Vote

What’s On Stage is running a poll for the site’s annual Theatregoer’s Choice Awards and I notice an old friend, Michael Jibson, is nominated for an award in the category of ‘Best Supporting Actor in a Musical’ for his part in ‘Take Flight’ at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Michael was, in his youth, an active member of Hessle Theatre Company so I am sure many members of the company will be supporting him with their votes, I’ve certainly cast mine in his favour. What with his part in Take Flight and a previous role in the film Flyboys Michael must almost be a qualified pilot by now. One can imagine the scene on the plane as Michael jets off to his first Broadway starring role. Suddenly the stewardess reveals the pilot has been taken ill and asks if there is anyone who can fly a plane. Step forward Michael to save the day as he announces that he has played Charles Lindbergh in a musical. He certainly gets my vote, you can cast yours here.
