Lovely review Steve. I'm seeing this tomorrow afternoon again (I caught it in Sheffield) and I cannot wait to hear Rebecca's 'Bill' again!

Can anyone shed light on the changes to the book and score some of the reviews refer to? They have changed the 'party' part in 'What you want' from being Jamaican to being Bollywood. There are also a few other subtle changes to make it more current (Class of 2015, references to The Apprentice, references to Hollyoaks). That's all I can remember off the top of my head. I saw this on Wednesday, at the matinee. I felt the whole thing was quite lacklustre (although I do blame the audience also - stalls 3/4 full and the circle 1/4 full meant that it was quiet) and the energy from the cast just wasn't there until the second act. Lucie has a lovely voice but for me had very little character - she wasn't funny or heartfelt. Jon Robyns shone above anybody else on the stage and I was waiting for his scenes. Overall, this is my fifth time of seeing LB (3 times in London and 1 on tour with Faye Brooks) and I enjoyed this version the least.

I saw this Wednesday afternoon. 16.50 tickets from Today Tix and we were sat in S3/4 on a table. I really didn't expect to like this as much as I did - what a great feel good show. I'm not overly keen to see it again, nor pay much more than 25ish, but it was a lovely surprise. How they do that every night shocks me. They must be exhausted!

I saw this on Wednesday Night. I adored it - Sheridan was simply stunning. I must admit she sounded a little bit tired in some of the songs - particularly in People. She sounded much stronger in Legally Blonde. However, when she was in full belt she was fab and it didn't really take away from the performance. She is up there with Imelda for me.

Hi all, quick question - what time would I be out from this after an 8.30 show? Completely forgot to check running time and I have a bus at 11.30!!! Feeling pretty gutted now as I think I'll have to miss it 11.05-ish if they start on time (they did the last times I went). Thank you for your reply Steffi. They are tickets bought for me for Christmas and the person didn't check the time and unfortunately I'm about 4 hours away from London.
