Looking forward to the cast announcement as my next (4th) visit is booked for April. Bit sad that I'm unlikely to get chance to see the current cast again, thank goodness for the recording.

I usually stay at the Marylebone Travelodge. Pretty much next door to Marylebone Station. The cafe across the road is run by a lovely man and does a delicious full English breakfast for £6. Only disadvantage is the cafe is closed on Sundays.

The BBC might show more figure skating this week when the individual events start. Last week was the country team events. I've paid for access to Eurosport Player through the Amazon Prime Video app (£4.99 a month but you get a £5 Prime Video credit) because I prefer their commentary on the figure skating.

We really weren't sure, until the FOH Manager came on stage to say so. It was my first time but I shall definitely go again, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saw the tour tonight and it was absolutely brilliant. Bit of an awkward moment with a technical fault that the audience at first thought was part of the show! Stopped for about 10 minutes then carried on.

This is clearly a minority opinion but having seen this with my family over the hols, I don't really get what all the hype is about. It's ok and perfectly entertaining but that's it. I was expecting it to be shocking and funny, but it's actually quite tame and at best raised a smile. I kept comparing it to Jerry Springer the Opera, which is probably unfair - but that was genuinely near the knuckle enough to make an atheist wince and both funny and clever. This just made fun of Mormonism (which is not exactly a moving target) and was really broad brush. Maybe in America it's still daring to have a comedy Jesus on stage, but surely not in London? It was a decent enough evening out but I don't get all the 'fight to get a ticket' responses. I haven't seen Jerry Springer, but my opinion on Book of Mormon is very similar to yours.

When I went on Friday, the opening dialogue seemed quite rushed. It may just have been that they speeded things up a bit since I saw it in previews but it was almost like the actress playing Maggie only remembered to pause briefly after "they're paying $4.40 a seat out there" so it was almost lost. Has anyone else noticed this? Certainly didn't distract from my enjoyment of the show, love it more every time I go.

When is this cast recording out? I simply cannot wait 15 December according to Amazon. I placed my order with Father Christmas last week. Saw the show for the third time last night and still on a high.

Thoroughly enjoyed my second visit to 42nd Street this afternoon. Didn't notice any problems with the revolve unless it was meant to be used for a number other than the one with the mirror?

Saw this in Bath tonight and thought it was delightful. I only knew one song from it and had no idea of the story so it was new to me.

Babies. OK, we get you're proud of them but do we need 50 pictures at once? Can we not just have one?

Sticking my two penn'orth in - first time I was in the 3rd row and personally I found it too close, I'm about 5 foot 2 and felt I had to look up to the stage a bit. Second time I was about 8 rows back and preferred that.
