David Holmes Cricket Cup, London (2024)
Rupert has again participated in the David Holmes Cricket Cup, helping to raise awareness and donations for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) charities. You can read about earlier appearances in this post.
The wonderful news is that this year’s match was streamed live, and is available to watch on YouTube!
Also, I was delighted to see Rupert and Bradley James (Arthur in Merlin) promoting the live stream on Instagram. Check out Rupert’s video here. (His longer hair is looking mighty fiiine, I have to say! Bradley seems to agree.)

The Power of Live Theatre (2021)
Rupert and Doug Colling play father and son, Larry and Connor Murphy, in Dear Evan Hansen West End. They talk in this short video about the emotion involved in at last returning to the stage, after a 587-day break due to the pandemic. The video was shared on Twitter by the official @DEHWestEnd account.
There’s obviously a lot of love there!
West End LIVE (2021)
West End LIVE was an event held in Trafalgar Square, London on 19 September 2021. Rupert participated as part of the Dear Evan Hansen West End cast, singing “You Will Be Found”.

This holiday season, we may not be together, but YOU ARE NOT ALONE
All I Want For Christmas Is Theatre (2020)
The Dear Evan Hansen West End cast – including our beloved Rupert – is part of this socially distanced concert on thespie.com. Global digital tickets are available to buy online, which give you access for 7 days.
There is a brief clip of Rupert talking with castmate Jack Loxton, saying he’s looking forward to seeing people again without it being… strange. Then the DEH cast sing “Merry Christmas, Everyone”.
Thanks to Bunnysworld for the heads-up! ♥
