There is little doubt Ellie will win, Layton will probably get to the final plus Annabel.

He was excellent on Have I Got News For You last night. He has great comic timing.

She is, thank god, as genuinely lovely and down to earth as she comes across on stage and tv. Have to agree here . Have met Beverley a couple of times and she was equally lovely on each occasion.

Just back from a holiday to Australia and managed to see 3 shows. Moulin Rouge and Mamma Mia in Melbourne and Tina in Sydney. Have to say the Regent in Melbourne where we saw Moulin rouge has to be one of the most stunning theatres I have been to. The set for Mamma Mia was quite different to London as it was larger and also noted choreography differences.

Is this the highest rated musical in the history of TheatreBoard polls? Have you seen it? Just wondered as I remember you really love the show I think and you had doubts about this production. I love the show too and had seen it many times before but this production really blew me away.Tom and Nicole were outstanding. That's my two penneth!!

Saw this on Thursday matinee and really enjoyed it. Great positive message and loved the use of colour throughout the show ( saw Sunset Boulevard in the evening so total contrast!) I did exactly the same! Agree with all your points.

I went on Wednesday night and it did start late as usual but we did get the full show as it didn't end until 11.30. The show is very technical but Madonna is always late and has been later than this but luckily O2 has a curfew. I'm not the real fan my partner is but I have never understood her disrespect for her audience by the turning up late, sometimes hours.There was a fair bit of lip synching too although I'm not surprised with the amount crammed into the show.

Such a tragic loss. R.I.P. Haydn. Such a talent and so lovely when we met you after the gala last year.

Such terrible news , she was only recently diagnosed apparently. We met her briefly after the gala last year and she was so lovely. she was hilarious in The Windsors too.

I was there Tonight and have to agree. Excellent performances all round. Vocals and orchestra excellent. Anyone with doubts go and see it!

'm getting old as just looked at the celeb pics arriving and I know about 40% of them. Mind you getting Dame Shirl is a bit of a coup. Where are said pictures?

Yes compared to last week the scoring seemed a little more realistic. I know it has been said before but Leyton has such an advantage over everyone else and the I'm not basic line did nothing to endear him to an audience despite his performance.

The Orchestra sounded fabulous on that clip. Not too long until I get to see it in mid October.

I don't think there has ever been a show 1 where 7 of the couples scored 28 or above. The standard did seem higher than ususal.

As long as the orchestra isn't stripped back, I believe there are 17, then I will be happy whatever strange things are happening in stage. Looking forward to your view on the show as it's one of my favourites and I am seeing it in Mid October. Seen it many times with Elaine, Petula, Faith and Glenn.

Kylie just has that sort of magic, you can't put your finger on it really. She is a pop icon and will always have success as long as she continues recording and even beyond with her huge back catalogue.
