Loved this show the more I saw it. Twice this week including the final performance tonight. I took some videos of the curtain call and the speech’s tonight There on my Instagram Stories at timberladuk Also clips of the Q&A I attended on Tuesday If anyone is interested Thanks for sharing. Interesting that whoever gave the speech mentioned the show being around in workshops etc for 3-4 years prior to opening. It certainly didn’t give that impression on stage.

Good riddance to this absolute dross 🥂 Are you "Trying To" hurt our feelings, mrbarnaby
"This isn't a Game anymore!"
Well, I'm not "Married" to the show, so "I Forgive You!"
We had "One Shot to Change the World" and we just couldn't do it.
So, "Meet me at the Start" of "2:22," and we can toast to making tragic out of "Magic."
You'd think life was a "Pantomime."
"Makes one wonder," but I've seen 3 casts already. I fancied "A Change of Life," something an iddy biddy bit more novel.
And Stacey Dooley wouldn't even be "The Second Woman" I've seen star in it. That was Cheryl.
These "Trojan Women," leaping from the Trojan horses of their reality shows to star on West End stages, are pretty cool, I suppose.
And I confess, I am a "Moth to a Flame," and I feel "Ready for Battle," so maybe I'll go.
*Hums 3 times,* a kind of chorus to everyone who has ever resigned in defeat at their favourite unpopular show closing.
No, maybe I won't.
Nicola Hughes was right.
"Life is Thin."

Good riddance to this absolute dross 🥂 And welcome instead to Stacey and Donna, titans of the stage, in the 7th run of a hoary old thriller which isn't particularly thrilling or well acted. I know which show I'd prefer to sit through again.

A sadness of this (amongst a few) is that if Amy Lennox had been Myrtle (a tad young I know) and it had started off-West End, or in a subsidised house, it might have been a flawed sensation people increasingly wanted a piece of. It would have had the cache of early adopter bragging rights, and that insider crowd that seem an essential component of so many new musicals' hype right now. I can't quite see Steve in the front row (often) giving side-eye to newcomers; but perhaps in an ironic homage to the fan-police at 'Wicked'...? But seriously, it's a shame if Sheridan Smith feels she can't now front an unusual show, as the critics will be there reporting on previews. For all that James Norton was excellent in 'A Little Life' he was reproducing the direction someone else had been in the originating/devising cast for, in an earlier production by Van Hove in another language. Perhaps that's the lesson for Van Hove too, whose had an unfortunate run with musicals. But all credit to Sheridan Smith for being in on the ground floor - I guess it only became clear in retrospect that marketing needed to retune expecations that her involvement brought.
