Roger - Tom Francis

[@buggiemara4902]

Future Tony winner.

[@ewwricka]

now that sunset boulevard is on broadway, he has a really good chance of actually winning one! i really hope he does!!

[@crohnierunner]

His Oliver win is definitely a sign of what’s to come now it’s hit broadway they should watch his star rise

[@Di-eq7wn]

Just saw him in Sunset Boulevard. Amazing vocals, he carries the show he's in almost every scene and is fantastic.

[@NigerianKitchen]

Was about to ask what he's doing now. He's so good

[@crohnierunner]

@@NigerianKitchenand now broadway are going to get to witness this amazing talent, remember America sorry but he’s ours lol

[@JessRansdellSmith]

@@crohnierunner I might have to steal him from you! #MadAboutTheBoy

[@crohnierunner]

@@JessRansdellSmithmaybe we could arrange shared custody 😂😂

[@JessRansdellSmith]

@@crohnierunner I am willing to share if you are! Maybe like a half a year there; a half a year here. Don't want him traveling back and forth too much, that's just tiring! Haha!

[@kobebanks6636]

Still cant believe this guy is NOW 24 years old. he was 22 here.

[@JessRansdellSmith]

He's 25 and yeah, he was like 20/21 here. He's so freaking good, it's ridiculous! He'd just graduated drama school before this. His professional debut and he freaking kills it.

[@wickedly4]

god his voice is INCREDIBLE. I haven't liked anyone this much in this role since Will Chase

[@milkovich9581]

Yess

[@broust.waynee]

Agreed

[@taliavelazquez358]

I actually like his singing here better than in Sunset Boulevard. He's really good.

[@fredriccilbrith1995]

Adam Pascal the original

[@JessRansdellSmith]

@@taliavelazquez358 He had to do some training to sing Joe's Baritone vocals since he's a natural tenor. He's definitely got that rock and roll style voice, but it's awesome that he can do traditional musical singing as well. He's so talented! Going to be fun watching his career!

[@Megan80]

He’s an absolute showstopper in Sunset Blvd! He even sings outside on the street!

[@briansounalath]

All right now this is a good voice for Roger. After one line we knew.

[@Axelismeh]

I use to go To to college with him he was amazing like honestly if anyone deserves this it’s him he was a hard worker by the looks of it still is

[@bellamybomb]

I had no idea who this dude was but he absolutely blew me away - such a different take on Roger compared to OG Adam Pascal, but still brilliant. His voice and expressions are incredible

[@talwyn_cc]

Tom Francis is FIRE here. I love his and Maiah's chemistry. Their vocals together are 😚.

[@gavinsmith8806]

There not to tether 🤔🤔

[@JessRansdellSmith]

@@gavinsmith8806 They are together for this show. She plays Mimi and their chemistry is great!

[@terrylewis_]

Wow goosebump central.

[@danjon8799]

That power - my word! It is utterly phenomenal - how he is not a global superstar beats me.

[@JessRansdellSmith]

He's working on it! He just won an Olivier award this year for his role as Joe Gillis in the Jamie Lloyd revival of Sunset Blvd and now that it's on Broadway there's a good chance for a Tony to go with it! He's also appearing in the next season of You on Netflix! The fact that he was only 20 years old when he did this is just bonkers how good he is!

[@briansounalath]

I love his look and vibe for Roger too. Great casting and actor.

[@user-hu6rn7qi4g]

He is INSANE!!!! This is incredible

[@dyslexicinders2149]

when tom francis said "find" at 2:20, i felt that

[@izroblox2567]

He is so amazing

[@nkwari]

perfect kind of voice for this song

[@yankee04]

Can’t wait to see him on Broadway!

[@JessRansdellSmith]

Have you seen him yet? :D

[@yankee04]

@@JessRansdellSmith Yes. Sunset Blvd is stunning! Intense and brilliant. This cast is incredible!

[@JessRansdellSmith]

@@yankee04 I'm glad you liked it! I'm sad I can't afford to fly out there to see it myself. I'll have to enjoy The Boy from afar.

[@Jane619]

Absolutely amazing!!! Chills!

[@ivalicetifalucis]

damn no wonder he is familiar when I see Sunset Boulevard teasers. Watch it, he's gonna be huge someday

[@diegobrando2528]

Beatiful interpretation

[@anjagibas1022]

I love Tom Francis. His vocals are killer amazing. I saw him in & Juliet and he was just amazing as Romeo. I think every single West End director needs to give him more lead roles.

[@izroblox2567]

He is amazing Romeo I have seen Juliet so many times but he so so amazing Romeo

[@anjagibas1022]

@@izroblox2567 Yeah he is. Luckily I met him for the first time.

He’s insane!!!

So great….💪💪

Weeey, es mi versión favorita de tooooodos 😍 (Volveré a comentar cuando ya haya trabajado con él alguna vez 🤞🏻).

YEEEES! THANKS AGAIN

[@briansounalath]

Oh my god he should do the Tour

[@kalimanvasquez]

Me encanta: que tal fuerza de interpretación.

[@crimsonmaverick8237]

Bruh this film is amazing. Could you post “What You Own?”

[@JessRansdellSmith]

[@ivisg5509]

If u have it please share Without You???? Thank u!!!!!!

[@Jae-pe2xh]

What production of Rent was this, and was that a female playing Mark?

[@JessRansdellSmith]

Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester and no, Mark is male. The person that put the chair down is not Mark. It's an ensemble member.

[@Psychology_529]

Thank you very much for taking the time to upload! Do you happen to have a full link to the performance? It would be greatly appreciated.

[@fernandabluntkrasinski9026]

Where can I Watch the entire show ?

[@BenMussell]

Sounds like a mix between Ramin Karimloo and Raul Esparza

[@brendanjones8709]

Woah. I'm always biased towards preferring the first performer I heard perform the song, but I think I even prefer this guy to Adam Pascal! Best rendition I've ever heard. Such a powerful voice but without the nasal edge Pascal's voice has. Renée Elise Goldsberry and Rosario Dawson are both way better than Daphne Rubin-Vega, also ... but the rest of the original cast can stay ;)

[@caradonnelly7335]

I just randomingly found this, i usually can't stand muscials but wow this guy is lit

[@musicizair1188]

Why do I feel like the audio tech played the track too high and he’s struggling to project over the music

[@JessRansdellSmith]

He's got a pretty powerful voice, in general. I don't think he's struggling here at all.

[@franqalarcon9736]

Can u upload today 4 u, i'm playing Angel on a show and will be useful to take notes also to improve myself Thanks ❤

[@andrewhemingway337]

This is a terrible story with great music

[@Jays6926]

It’s terrible because it’s sad

[@goddamnrice]

⁠I would say it’s a good setting with great messages strung together poorly

[@andreapane8633]

He’s got a beautiful voice, but it’s way too much riffing and not enough acting for me. Will Chase, by contrast, is telling a whole ass story 😂

[@JessRansdellSmith]

This was his first professional show right out of drama school and it was shot in between covid lockdowns in Manchester so it may have had a much different look when they first rehearsed it before everybody had to stay 6 feet away from each other. lol
