Louis Maskell as King George III in Hamilton UK Tour | Liverpool, May 2025

You can't see the face here, but I would recognize those wobbly legs anywhere.

Three new images from the Watermill Theatre's The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale, shared by Nuwan Hugh Perera via Instagram stories in honour of the 2nd anniversary of the production's first preview.

feat. Louis Maskell (Frodo), Peter Dukes (Boromir), Peter Marinker (Gandalf), Aaron Sidwell (Aragorn)

Wriggliest frodo to ever wriggle. So bloody tall. Exceptionally haunted but also very silly when he's with his friends. Wild amounts of homoeroticism with aragorn. Seems to very much ship Samfrosie, like the choices they made God damn. I have a photo of Louis with his arms around both Nuwan and Charlotte when they're talking about Sam and Rosie's wedding. Terrifying when ring possessed - idk if you've seen the musical, but when he gives in before Shelob, his voice has been steadily getting so sad and raspy and weak, and then when he claims the ring his voice is SCARILY normal. Crying all the time. He starts crying in lothlorien on some nights. It's a lot.

His accent is delightful. We (lotrm discord server, please join) have nicknamed it the baggcent.

Ummmm wow I have so many Louis thoughts I could go on forever but I'm gonna send this now

This is incredibly helpful omfg thank you!! I was especially curious about how he went with the descent into ring sickness, as I felt it happened very abruptly with the Frodo I saw last night - and I know from Louis' Grinpayne how WELL that man can do suffering. Devastating to know that he's a crier, I wish I could have seen him in the role for that reason alone 😭
