Title: Sad News About Adam Pearce (Viktor at Edinburgh)
Post by: FenderBender on January 21, 2023, 10:43:48 AM
Just read that Adam Pearce, who played Viktor so wonderfully during the Edinburgh run, sadly suffered a stroke recently whilst appearing in the West End production of "Mandela, The Musical".

Thoughts and best wishes to Adam and his family. Hoping that he makes a full recovery in the fullness of time.

Thought he was brilliantly "larger than life" in the role.  Hope he makes a full recovery.

Seems he's recovering well, by his last post in that site, I'm very happy for him.

Adam was featured on the BBC News programme a couple of weeks ago. Recovering well, but still has serious health challenges. However with the support of cast and crew, he is back performing in “Les Miserables”. So good to see.
