Marilyn like a goddess!

Still have my show programme, show mug & OLC CD - truly beautiful show with such a stunning cast - so many iconic West End performerss

Saw it 3 times. Unforgettable!

Such natural charisma. I love them.

Thank you for sharing this clip. It's a quality copy!

hello do you have the full documentary? the quality is good.

Love this show and saw it twice. Such a wonderful cast and staging. This cast and recording are unbeatable.

Wonderful production & cast

Perfeita

I watched Ray Shell sing this again tonight at the CoE concert and he still sounds amazing. It brought back so many great memories of the original production.

Like hearing the original version! I like the US version better! This is still great 👍

That's when Wuman where Wuman an Men dun wit they wur Telt....Especially in Sunny Govan. The days when Hanging is to good for them, It's a good kick up the Arse they need.

Ah. Vic n' Baz, Forbes and Alan. Great fun in the West End back in the day.

wow good reading!

I never managed to see this in the West End. Isnt this clip from a Wogan special? I remember he did some others - Miss Saigon springs to mind.

Marvellous - what an underated musical/company/production.

This is what the Unions and the Labour Party were formed for, to fight the tyranny of the ruling class - Under the Tories we are now going back to those days, people being evicted when the men were fighting in France and elsewhere. The fight is the same now as then sadly as we see all inroads made such as social housing, fair wages, education, healthcare and human rights being stripped away

Thanks for posting this. I still read my ragged 1960s copy of 'Cooking in a Bedsitter' sometimes. The other day I was looking at it and dimly recalled a friend who was an undergraduate at Cambridge in the 80s telling me it had been made into a play. So it's good to finally see some of it!

I was in the original cast in London and have found some old video footage behind the scenes and will post up for folks to see , especially the wonderful singing of the late Martin smith and Kevin Colson

wow!!!! i was Japheth when this was staged in our city in Cebu.... Good times with the cast. Really formed me and am able to use the lessons I learned in theater.

OMG!!! Thank you, thank you so much for uploading, Never thought I would see parts of it again... Saw the original London production 3 times in 1991, while still being a student, one of my all time favorite experiences in the theatre. Unfortunately a lack of audiene during the gulf war lead to the premature closing of this spectacular show. Never has any other production I've seen in the 25 years since come any close to what this Original was!!!! (I then waited for months for the original cast album to be released... luckily own the double LP for the Original CD, which I also got, deteriorated due to cd-bronzening, and is now a much sought after colletors item.... ah well.) Anyway, this production was legendary.Thanks again!

Omg. Saw the show 3 times in 1991! What a wonderful memory! No other production in all these years came close to what the original was. Legend!!! Thank you, thank you for uploading!

Thank you so much for posting this!

Funny how Frances ends up in the exact same pose as she did when Eponine was about to die. Same director?

Watched this the Night it 1st Aired on TV on Wogan! Still have it on Tape somewhere! Excellent Musical!x

thanks for posting . i saw children of Eden in London when it opened .the start of the 2nd act the cast were in the auditorium and Frances Ruffelle was standing next to us . fond memories .

omg thank you! I've been wanting to hear the original london cast of children of eden. I really desperately want the album version to this musical & along with songs(in whatever time we have,stranger to the rain and the dove song) sung by frances. do have the vinyl version of on my own she sang after winning her tony in 1987? can ya upload that one too! if you can...p.s: I don't if you're fan of hers or not but she's putting out a new album called I say yeh-yeh.

I was in the original West End company of this it was a blast but the first Iraq war killed the show...shame it was a spectacle!

OMG! Where did you find this? I love Children Of Eden and Frances Ruffelle. I've been looking for performances from the original production. Would you have Frances singing Stranger To The Rain. This is great. Thanks for posting.
