At one point, Alex Watson almost rouses the audience to a standing ovation with Charley Kringas’ spitfire speech/singing.

Franklin’s best friend and lyric writer, Charley Kringas, played by Alex Watson, who balances his straight-as-a-die honesty with quick humour and speed in the signature Sondheim ‘patter song’.

‘Watson was a pocket rocket and had incredible stage presence the entire time he was on stage. His acting in the camp dramatised scenes, as well as the vulnerable moments, was fantastic…”

“His assistant and partner, Carmen Ghia, was given a menacing and sinister treatment by Alex Watson, his measured stillness and pent-up anger producing one of the funniest performances of the night…”

“The other performer who is nearly impossible to ignore and tear your gaze away from is Alex Watson as Roger de Bris' "common-law asssssistant" Carmen Ghia. Usually upstaging is one of the greatest sins of the stage, however, Watson just eats up the limelight - delivers every line with the precision of an Exocet missile, throwing shade that would put even Cher in the shade! And displays a commanding understanding of the value of not only a great entrance but a superb exit.”
