Well I for one am really looking forward to seeing this on stage having never got round to seeing when Ruthie did it a few years back. I've always really liked the score but having never seen the show Im unsure what the book will be like, however I do know roughly what the plot will be

In the Heights, mainly because it was one of those shows I'd never really fancied, so it took me by surprise how much I loved it.. I enjoyed it another to consider Hamilton (another one that never grabbed me)

I absolutely loved Showboat last year, it was one of the best regional theatre productions I have ever seen, it was up there with the Crucibles "My Fair Lady". Lets hope Annie Get your Gun lives up to its predecessors

Does anyone know what days Ben and Celinde don't perform.. Ideally I want to see Celinde and preferably not Ben! Ben does 8 shows a week - Celinde normally has Mondays and Fridays off. Great, Thanks greeny11

I've recently happened upon Celinde on various youtube videos and im majorly impressed by her voice, and having missed her Fantine I would love to see her in Phantom! does anyone on here happen to know what performances she isn't scheduled to appear?
Thanks :-)

really enjoyed this, to be honest I couldn't remember much about the film so not really sure how closely it sticks to the original plot. Some great performances and choreography though, just a shame a couple of the songs never really go anywhere, the standout moments were Love is a leap of faith and Beautiful Surprise, really worth a listen

its going to need a fair few rewrites, unless Bobbie is bisexual and just wants someone to love of any gender, which I imagine is the way they will go with this

I thoroughly enjoyed it.. Ive never seen it on stage and to be honest didn't love the song rewrites and yes Jake was a bit wooden, but hearing Louise and Laura sing Who will love me as I am and I will never leave you has made my year! :-)

If I were Louise Dearman and Laura Pitt-Pulford I would be on the phone to my agent demanding much better work to match my talent. Both ladies are lovely with delightful voices (although they absolutely don't convince as twins) but the show is insipid, dreary, overlong, emotionally vacant and poorly directed. If you're sat on either side of the auditorium, you'll at least get to see the safety pins holding the twins' dresses together because but the show is played pretty much front and centre. Word of warning if you booked your ticket prior to the theatre changing the system for you to be able book your own seat they will allocate you a seat. It may be a really dreadful seat so insist, INSIST, that you're given a seat in the centre set of seat facing the set head on. Don't let them palm you off with anything else. That's strange about the seating as I am sure it was reserved seating from the day tickets went on sale which is when I bought mine. Unless there was some sort of priority booking scheme. What is this about the seats? I booked specific seats for this one in the front centre section, does this mean they could put someone in my seat I booked the week tickets went on sale?

It'll be the original London cast so it will surely get a recording, it wouldn't surprise me if its a live one though as that seems to be the route most shows are going down just lately

I'm seeing the show next week and having not heard the newest cast recording, will I notice a massive difference? looking at the song list for the new recording it seems quote a few songs, such as We share Everything and leave me alone are missing.. The question is, Do the songs which replace them work?

Quick question for anyone who has booked for this. Have your tickets arrived yet? I booked quite a while ago and I know the websites always say your tickets could arrive few days prior to the event and with concerts I know that is the case, but I've never waited for theatre tickets like this!

I love how "Technical Issues" has a whole new meaning now after Funny Girl.. youll be seeing Aladdin's carpet out in Soho on a Friday night and then Saturday matinee he'll be suffering from Technical issues!

Has there been any other casting news yet? I live in hope Cynthia Erivo will me back and take on the role of Deena, but I fear we've lost her the the U.S now!

Shaun Escoffrey should be Curtis and would love to see Cynthia Erivo as Deena, I'm just praying they don't cast Alexia Khadime as she seems to get plenty of leads but has a voice which I find really grating!

Hi All, quick question, does anyone remember the name of the play which opened last year which centered on a group of men held captive who resorted to eating each other.
I'm investigating trauma theatre for my uni course and I cant remember what this piece was called!!
Thanks :-)
