Saw this last night, absolutely loved it. First time I've seen this show and I thought it was brilliant. Stunning performances from all involved - you'd never think it was an amateur production. Running until 13 May. www.sbf.org.uk/theatreshows/the-drowsy-chaperone |

Going to the matinee tomorrow. Is it straight run through or do they do it with an interval?

Straight through. No interval. Think it's only about 90 mins long

It's a shame that the Bridewell website is so bad / I didn't know My Fair Lady with GEOIDS productions was even playing there. It's an odd and wonderful stage space at the same time. I didn't even know this was on!

What a wonderful show. Hadn't even heard of it before Thursday. Couldn't fault the cast and the 1hr 40m run time shot by. Great set design - as good as anything off west end. Bargain at £17 and £19 a ticket. The armchair guy was excellent and some great singing and dance routines. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun cheap night out.

We were there this afternoon too (it's our local). Obviously, as it's am-dram, some varying performances, but Alexander Baker as the man in the chair was phenomenal. Some great dance routines and a fantastic 12 pice band made this a great Saturday afternoon.

Forgot to mention the band. If it wasn't for the fact you could see the conductor on TV screen I could have sworn it must be recorded as such a big sound. Never realised it was a 12 piece band. They should come out for their own applause.
