For a little under nine months - May 1997-February 1998 - Nathan was a swing in the cast of Martin Guerre, at the Prince Edward Theatre in London's West End.
Penned by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, the award-winning team behind Miss Saigon and Les Miserables, the show didn't share quite the same level of success as it's predecessors, but nevertheless, ran in London for just over eighteen months.
As well as being a swing, Nathan was also 1st cover to André, the leader of the Protestants in the village of Artigat, a role he played over seventy times. |
