Frankenstein’s Wedding has been nominated for a BAFTA in the “Sport and Live Event” category.
Good luck to Meredith Chambers, Eleanor Moran, Richard Fell and Pat Connor!
The award ceremony will take place on Sunday, 27 May 2012 at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
At the end of the live performance of Frankenstein’s Wedding, the cast performed a choreographed dance which also saw Andrew singing the first few lines of Make You Feel My Love. The most spectacular part of the dance however, was the audience joining in with the dance. They had been taught the dance previously and seeing 12,000 people performing it in unison is something to behold.
As an aside, the look on Andrew’s face when he looks out over the crowd at the end is absolutely wonderful!
As part of Frankenstein’s Wedding, Andrew sang Athlete’s Wires (and made every girl there wish she was up there in that plastic box with him!). Thanks to YouTube user symanleedsuk you can watch it again here:
He also sang Snow Patrol’s Make It Go On Forever which is an incredibly beautiful song, he really does it justice. Again thanks to symanleedsuk you can watch it here:
If you like Andrew’s vocals on the Frankenstein’s Wedding songs, you can also hear him in his own band Emerson – pop over to the Emerson page on this site to hear some of their tracks.
The Daily Mail reported about Frankenstein’s Wedding prior to the show’s happening on Saturday, 19 March 2011.
The article mentions Andrew:
Newcomer Andrew Gower, who plays Dr Frankenstein, is darting around the abbey’s passageway, eager to establish the shortest route from his character’s laboratory to the church. “I have a scene in the laboratory followed immediately by one in the church, and the distance between the two is pretty much the entire length of the abbey,” he says.

Digital Spy have uploaded an interview with the cast of Frankenstein’s Wedding, including interviews with Andrew as well as David Harewood and Lacey Turner.
The Liverpool Echo have published a long interview with Andrew following the screening of the first episode of Monroe and previewing next month’s Frankenstein’s Wedding.

Lacey Turner and David Harewood joined the BBC Breakfast team to discuss Frankenstein’s Wedding. Andrew is not part of the interview but it’s still an interesting watch.
Another video diary for Frankenstein’s Wedding, this time from Frankenstein’s monster, with a lovely scene featuring Andrew Gower as Victor Frankenstein and Lacey Turner as his fiancé Elizabeth Lavenza.

The creature, observing society from the shadows has learnt human ways – what is good and what is evil. Which way will he go?

In the run-up to the live broadcast of Frankenstein’s Wedding, the BBC are releasing a series of Video Diaries that give us an insight into the three main characters, Victor Frankenstein (Andrew Gower), his fiancé Elizabeth Lavenza (Lacey Turner) and the Creature (David Harewood).
Watch Victor’s Diary below!
“I thought again of his words ‘I will be with you on your wedding-night’. That then was the period fixed for the fulfilment of my destiny.” Victor Frankenstein
Dr Victor Frankenstein, the troubled genius, has always been ambitious, obsessed with pushing the boundaries of science. He justifies his desire to create life by saying he wants to benefit humanity but instead he creates a threat that could destroy everything. He’s made a bargain with his creation and the stakes are high.
Elizabeth knows nothing about Victor’s secret but the wedding is getting closer, will the Creature’s threat turn into reality?
Frankenstein’s Wedding will be performed live at Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds and broadcast simultaneously on BBC Three on 19 March 2011.
The BBC’s press office have issued a press release about Frankenstein’s Wedding. You can read it here.
