I watched my umpteenth screening of this last night, and it is certainly a show that keeps giving. What a slick, exhilarating ride it is. For the company, it could never have been a show that you could ever give less that 100% to. And the organisation backstage must have been extraordinary. Oh the joy of that staircase after Julian's moment of drama in the dark. Thrilled to see this show again. In it's recent London run where the plans afoot for the building that it closed seemingly early, or just the sheer expense of keeping it going? So glad that this was filmed, even with the rather alarming on stage close ups. The broadway revival ran for 4 years so they definitely could have managed to keep it running for a few more years. Most likely the building needed to begin renovations quickly and they saw no point in keeping the show running after it was filmed.

42nd Street is showing at a lot of Vue cinemas tonight. It's on at Vue Westfield at 8:55pm, but not a single ticket has been sold yet. Tickets are £9.99. I'm tempted, but I could watch it at home and this just finishes too late for me.

I've always wanted to be the only person in a cinema. Tonight could be my chance... I have been, a few times. I found it a bit boring because being the only one there stifled the atmosphere. It's surprising how much difference just a few other people make.

I am sometimes when I take the kids to the first showing of the day. I love it- I can read my kindle in peace on my phone during the film. If there was anyone else in the cinema I wouldn’t do it!

I went to see the new Adams Family film on my own and was the only one there. It was weird being the only one, but I enjoyed the experience. Just didn't particularly enjoy the film.

I saw Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again on my own (Sunday morning screening) - the only time I have ever sung (and will ever sing) along out loud in a cinema!

Now this has finished in London, any plans for it touring the uk ? Yes, at the earliest will be late 2020. The cast have been told there will be a tour of the UK but no word on dates, venues, timescales or anything so it's kinda ambiguous at the moment. Although, if the producers needed any confirmation of the shows popularity, they got it on Saturday night. Anyone have any information on this? With COVID, they would have to postpone to late 2021 but there seems to be no more chatter about a UK tour revival.

I saw Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again on my own (Sunday morning screening) - the only time I have ever sung (and will ever sing) along out loud in a cinema! I had my first visit back to the cinema yesterday afternoon, and was the only one there. At least I didn't have to worry about social distancing, and I was also singing along (to Back to the Future!).

My local theatre showed the film for ‘one night only’ last week - not afraid to say that I teared up at the end of the brilliant opening number as the recording included the roar of the audience so it made you feel - for a brief second - as if you were there. It was wonderful to see Clare and that awesome cast again - and of course ‘the staircase moment’.
I wonder if Stephen Mear’s production at the Theatre du Chatelet will go ahead? I’m quite tempted to go though maybe the hassle of ‘travel or not to travel’ will put me off. I do hope it goes ahead for the Production’s sake 🤞

Still micro dissecting the lyrics of Lullaby of Broadway, what means this verse? You rock-a-bye your baby round till everything gets hazy "Hush-a-bye I'll buy you this and that" , you hear a daddy saying And baby goes home to her flat to sleep all day

Do we think we might get 42nd St or Kinky Boots on ALW’s channel this time around? Watching Balls back phrase and approximate the tune was entertaining enough last night but I’d rather have a show...for free...not ungrateful promise.

Now available to stream - just watched as did not get to see the show. Absolutely stupendous production. Can't understand the appeal of Stage2view when BroadwayHD has all of these shows for a monthly cost and unlimited playback.

Streaming this weekend on the Youtube channel The Shows Must Go On. Brilliant. Thanks. I've resisted the streaming service as I don't want to watch it on my laptop but with you tube I can watch it on my big old TV. Thats my weekend sorted.

Having not seen the production live during its run, I decided to give the YT stream a watch tonight and after watching it, I'm now really gutted not to have seen it. I've only ever seen a UK touring production back in 2006/7. An absolutely stunning production right from that breath-taking opening tap number to that wonderful encore routine performed by a magnificent cast led by Claire, Bonnie and Tom.
I have to say that stair case reveal in Act 2 was just perfect (every stair case needs to be lit up like that in my opinion) followed by that choreography with Claire and the cast was just wonderful to watch. I'll admit I did rewind the stream a few times for repeat viewings.
A great evening's entertainment. 5 stars.

It was even better live. Having said that I think it looked better on a big telly than on a cinema screen.

I have a bit of an obsession with this musical and saw it 11 times, always from the front row and was at the last night which was one of the most amazing theatrical experiences ever. Watched it last night on my TV and had a bit of a tear in my eye at the staircase number which was fantastic.

just watched it. Absolutely brilliant production and very nicely filmed. Brought back all the memories from seeing it live at the Drury Lane.

Thanks for flagging this up, justfran. Nine times in London's glittering West End, once in the cinema, and now on the small screen. It was absolutely wonderful to watch again...even with the oddly placed adverts for Cheerios and KitKat. 🙂 For all its old-fashionedness, I bloody love this show. Those huge production numbers on that huge stage. Will we ever see its like again? I have no idea how the 'kids' did what they did eight times a week, especially Clare Halse who, in the last week of the run, still found time to send me her autograph, along with a lovely hand-written note. On five of my trips to Drury Lane, I was sitting at extreme stage right. I would watch her waiting in the wings on stage left, centering herself before the big finale. I still think it's a grevious injustice that she wasn't top of the bill! 😡 If they're going to give it away for free on YouTube, can we have a DVD now, please?

I've just watched this, I even managed to figure out how to connect my laptop to my TV, which was much easier for a 2 hour viewing. Loved it! Agree with the above comment that we really need a DVD now please.

For anyone with a Virgin Media package including TV....
42nd Street is being broadcast tomorrow at 2pm on Virgin HD Channel 999. Unlike the You Tube The Show Must Go On airings, this can be recorded through the TV Guide and retained and viewed indefinitely.
Kinky Boots, Hetty Feather Live On Stage and The Wind in The Willows are also scheduled on the same channel over the next couple of weeks.
