Agreed! The actor playing Tony (Jamal) is very sexy!

None of mine either. But I would be tempted to finally see it if it was on a comp!

Finally got to see this Very friendly and accomodating box office staff who sold us Day seats In my non professional opinion - keep the cast, bring in a new director and chop 20 minutes or so off it It made me think of Alice.wonderland maybe because both are about teenagers - this is so much better, more positive and much clearer about what it's saying. But please give young people something new and great to say - folk need more than Grease Though Grease at least created female roles and gave some of the top singers a start in the profession. Now they are more likley to end up on a cheap tour supporting someone from Corrie, x Factor or a Nolan sister......... Saw Bendit for probably the last time wed matinee, and its looking very good. The cast seem now to have been unleashed on it - lots of extra touches . Its a great tribute to its cast. There's a lot of vocal talent there that should be used again, fast. Dew and Samuels in particular is a great double act .

I saw it tonight. I really enjoyed it actually after reading some not so positive things on here and the previous place.
Sure a couple of scenes and songs were a bit long but it really is a shame it's closing in my opinion.
They were filming it tonight. Also there's been a flood/leak so the you couldn't go in the main doors.

Nothing for it at the What's On Stage awards. I'm amazed Big Daddy Shenton didn't come screaming down the aisle "But I love it!!!!!".

Daddy Shenton wasn't there.
Is this selling out now in its final weeks?

I saw it on a Friday night about 4 months into its run and the theatre was around half full. It's a shame it didn't do better because I thought it was a quality musical and had a well integrated score and book

I liked all of the songs (although as I said some should've been shortened) but there wasn't really a stand-out.
I think maybe some people were put off by the football but there wasn't too much of it.

The trailer video for the show put me off. It just seemed like a group of Asian girls playing football.

I've just booked for a 3rd and final visit this Saturday matinee (before Miss Saigon), I'd have gone closing night if I didn't have plans. It isn't the best show ever but I like it. The problem is all 3 times I have got a seat listed as top price in the dress circle for less than £20 at the weekend, a show can't survive like that. I'm kind of hoping for an understudy or two to see a different take before the show goes
