Are we talking about the skinny young thing who seems barely dressed in every photograph I've seen, is almost collapsing under the weight of her fake eyelashes and pulls a pout more often than a smile? If so, we're going to have to agree to disagree on the 'role model' thing, I'm afraid, guys. I think someone that's just raised £5 million for the British Red Cross and led the organisation of a massive stadium concert packed full of A list pop stars in 2 weeks, at the age of 23, having gone through what she's gone through in the last two weeks, can be counted as a role model! I for one have nothing but respect for her right now.

Saw this Saturday night. This is grim. the good news is we were leaving the theatre at 9.45. First half now one hour twenty minutes then twenty minute interval. It reminds me of the best thing about Salome... that it was only 90 minutes

I thought it was a fantastic and thought provoking play, and both the singing and acting of a very high standard.

I'm surprised how many people didn't like Sheena, I thought she was fabulous! I thought she was spot on, as was Clare Halse. Tom Lister pretty great as well.

Please never stop Parsley! I am sorry But they pomp it up Picnic in the park Elegant day out And you sit on f****** garden chairs Since you have no criticism of the acting, production, music etc. I presume it's a solid show?

Hayfever is driving me nuts!!! My eyes are permanently bloodshot and sore. What are you using? Have you tried cromoglicate drops? Loratadine once a day, seems to help with the sniffles but my eyes are still very itchy. I should try the drops - thanks.

Does anyone remember when this first went live and the cheapest seats were £40 and we were all complaining?!

And even that was heavily discounting towards the end if I remember rightly. I honestly doubt we will see something special go into either of these theatres. Yeah for much of the last year it was closing the top two tiers and offering £15 stalls tickets

Got 15 pound tickets for this for early September row A23-24 but unfortunately didn't look at the Monkey's page beforehand. Now I see that A24 is described as limited legroom and that A23 isn't much better. Are they really that bad? Any personal experience would be gratefullly noted. 24 is a squeeze and quite a bit tighter, but 23 is fine (only marginally tighter than 22) - I've sat in 23 and I'm 5 f 10, with no problems.

I don't think Oriental Asians (I am one myself) are underrepresented in theatre audiences on the West End. I was surprised even to see several (other than myself) at the Russian production of Three Sisters a couple of weeks ago, and there were several at Tick Tick Boom and the Colour Purple (I was sat next to one by chance at the latter).

Absolutely amazing. All four female leads and Tyrone Huntley in particular. One of the best things I've seen all year!

My gaydar is going wild. Even more than at a typical west end show.

It's EU Law, I wouldn't even be doing it if it wasn't necessary to get an LLB. I took a day off last year to see Adele; can't complain, I ended up at the very front of the stage and got to hold her hand (yes I died). I'm thinking of trying to get tickets either for Friday (maybe try the TodayTix lottery) or get a ticket for next Friday? (I'm holding Wicked off until my last exam on the 25th) In two years time perhaps it will no longer be compulsory!

Shall I be the one to ask the obvious question? Is the question "why"? Massive demand from the viewing public

I thought this was a pile of pretentious wank and if there had been an interval I'd have left during it.
I agree word for word with the Times' 1 star review
It fails to grip the audience or establish any themes and some of the dialogue is seriously clunky and pedestrian.
I wouldn't have been surprised if someone were to tell me it were written by some well resourced sixth formers.
