The Take That song was very well received by the audience in Manchester (as Take That are from Manchester). I am not sure of the setlist. But it was different from previous shows (I think).
Pop songs included `I want you back` by Take That. Time After Time (by Cindi Lauper) and Here You Come Again (First recorded by Dolly Parton). Imagine (by John Lennon). Photograph (written by Ed Sheeran). There was a tribute to Stephen Sondheim. And nice selection of songs from other musicals. Including How Far I'll Go from Moana the movie. And a Hamilton song which was really good, but I am not sure which one it was now.
Her brother Gerard Salonga was the musical director which was a surprise plus. The audience sang along at the right places when Lea said a particular song was a singalong.
I also would be interested in a full setlist, if anyone can take a pen and paper into the show and note them down for us.
Brilliant, well produced show, and everyone was on their feet and dancing at the end.

Please God let that have been recorded, legally or otherwise.

The somewhat odd choice of material in part - and the condensing of her "hits" into a rather messy medley - aside, I thought she was stunning at the Royal Albert Hall. I'm not sure I've ever heard 'Somehwere' sound better, the 'Move On'/'Not While I'm Around' was superb and, as someone else commented, 'Bring Him Home' was beautiful.
Her superb band and string section numbered (I thnk) 15 plus three backing singers and really made for an occasion, despite the usual RAH sound challenges.
She sounds awesome (chills) and still looks so young - made me think she could still play 'Evita'!

Did anyone notice the photo in the programme of a very young Lea playing Annie?
Sooooooo cute!

Personally it was lovely to finally see Lea but it felt very “in and out let’s make the money and leave”. Not much warmth to the performances and it felt like a money maker.
Wish Lea would do a full show in the UK again.

Hopefully she’ll sing the songs in full that she brushed over last time but she’s always worth seeing. Booked for Manchester.

The London ticket price add on. Bristol seem to be 107 vip front rows to 42 in the circles on the presale which seem to include 10 of fees thanks to the updated venue using ticketmaster for booking. Not extensive tour but nice to see cover other places than just London.

Not quite the demand for tix in Bristol yet. These Cuffe & Taylor events normally end up on ‘specialist’ sites a few weeks before so I might risk that instead.
