I got the email and was considering it but I'm up in London a few days later for Sunset Boulevard.

Much as I liked SS and found her touching and truthful, I found myself trying to like the actual show more than I truly did. I thought they had done brilliantly with what for me is a thin, slightly dull book, and poor Darius had a dog of a solo number. I never really understood what made Fanny the great star she was as her, show numbers did not really hit the spot for me.
I found SS moving and charming, but still the l the show itself us flawed. SS acted the chops off it, or without a powerhouse Broadway style performance from the lead, I felt underwhelmed. Streisand's performance in the film showed her star power, but even the film bored me once Fanny was married. For me the second half never takes off and SS did brilliantly with a show that truthfully finished at the interval plot wise.

They haven't announced the full cast for the Savoy run yet have they? I think I read on here that not much is changing but I'm interested in having a look at it if it's been announced.

I hope Sheridan Smith has sorted out her personal demons that were plaguing her during the Menier run. Have heard reports of some very unprofessional behaviour, so hope she has recovered.

This thread has gone quiet as it opens at the Savoy tomorrow! Do I presume that all of us who are interested in this have already seen it at the Menier? The prices for this are staggering - huge swathes of the stalls at premium prices - £125 and the rest £71.50 for the rear stalls and it is virtually sold out for the intitial months! The producers must be making a fortune!
Sheridan Smiths twitter account has been unusally quiet too.

The Savoy has had a great year or so with Gypsy, Guys & Dolls and now Funny Girl and Dreamgirls... I kind of hope it continues reviving these kind of shows that are great as it seems to be the direction it is going in and the theatre is a beautiful theatre for it to be done.

Missed it at the menier so forked out for top price. Wary of Shwridan in the role but I've never seen it on stage so one to tick off the list
I too love this trend of the savoy being used for revivals. It's an ideal size and theatre for it

It's an ideal size and theatre for it And I love that they are not just doing any revivals... they are really doing 5 star productions of these musicals. The only thing is Dreamgirls will be the first of these to originate at the theatre rather than come from a different theatre, so that will be interesting to see! But I have no doubt it will be amazing.

I totally agree with you there! The Savoy is my favourite theatre because it is so beautiful and the shows they have there are amazing! i saw Gypsy and Guys & Dolls and we are seeing Funny Girl and Dreamgirls too so the shows they show there are really good!! I think it's one of ATG's most hottest and in demand theatres at the moment!

Limited number of £15 day seats from 10am at the Box Office......sounds good - depending on where in the theatre they are!

Those Sheridan fans are crazy! Oo that is such a good point - I hadn't thought of that! Maybe will avoid the day seat queue for a while. Legally Blonde was kind of the first musical in the West End to do the Broadway-style lottery, wasn't it? So no other Sheridan musical to compare it to!

Well it's definitely worth it!

Just looked at the production shots and they are from the Menier run as a couple of people in the pics are not in the Savoy run. I like the day seat prices but as others have said the Sheridan fans will be up bright and early at the beginning of the run to snap those up. I walked past yesterday and got some nice pics of the marquee, its very purple and sparkly. Don't think I can download onto here or can I? I have tickets to see it in June

No, you can't download (or upload) pics to the forum. You have to have administrator rights to do so.

The pics are from a mixture of both runs I believe. There's slightly different backdrops and staging in some of the new additions.

When I walked past on Monday, trust me when I say, that purple shiny stuff is blinding in the sun! You could see the signs from the end of The Strand!
