The set for this looks truly hideous. I was on the edge about whether to see this but that has put me of 100%. What a shame. Was really looking forward to your usual incisive and comprehensive review of the Coliseum Summer musical.

Does any one have the todaytix app. As when I'm going to the contact support page I get a blank screen?
Managed to find page on website.

Well they can't do that for every performance, at some point an audience is going to have to see it...

Memories of Broadway 2002. I HATED it and was so bored I wanted to jump off the circle balcony. I will NOT be seeing this - worst show I ever saw on broadway followed by Dance of the Vampires, Spring awakening, Urinetown and the recent Oklahoma production with the house lights left on. Haha...

How are other shows nearby being affected, given the reported power outage? Any probs at HOME, I'M DARLING or ALL ABOUT IVO?
The current OKLAHOMA! is dazzling. Dan Fish is NY's very own Rob Icke.

Interval report - it is actually pretty good. Kelsey Grammer is fine and nailed Impossible Dream

Anyone who has been to see it yet can you tell me if Luke McCall is an on or off stage swing? I have asked him but he hasn't replied. It generally will determind if I buy a ticket now(ish) or wait a while until I find someone is off.

Went in with very low expectations, but actually this is great! It got a rapturous reception from the audience too, I think word of mouth will be very good although I'm not sure if that's enough for ticket sales to pick up as much as they need to. Seemed pretty full last night but then again a lot of people had moved to the evening show from the matinee following the cancellation. It is fully staged. There's only one set (the dungeon Cervantes is taken to by the Inquisition) and the show within the show is done using props found in the dungeon - as I understand it this is standard for this show, it actually wouldn't make sense with lavish set changes. The oddity is that the dungeon set and the costumes in the framing sequence are present day. Costumes for the Don Quixote play are in period. They don't really do anything with this concept. Orchestra sounds amazing. The cast are all fine. Kelsey Grammer clearly isn't an operatic baritone but he can do the necessary comedy and pathos for the part, it's a very good acting performance, and I had no problems with his singing. Other leads were great (last night was Danielle de Niese) The show itself is odd - let's face it there's only one memorable song, but it's a very good one and they sing it a few times . And at the start, after the overture you get what feels like a very long talky opening before the music kicks in again. But anyway, worth seeing! Although I should point out I paid £25 for row D of the stalls in the TodayTix rush. Wasn't hard to get the rush seats, I didn't book till about 10:10. Other people near me had paid over £100 for their seats which is crazy. A few people did vanish at the interval but those who stayed gave an instant standing ovation. Programmes were £6 and looked very thin, didn't buy one. Looked like other merchandise was available in the ENO shop (where the box office used to be, on the right as you go in)
