The fact that thriller is on that list - actually, even that it's on a list of shows that have ever played the west end - is depressing as hell

Does anyone think stalls sides would have very restricted views for this?

Seeing this next Thursday - will be interesting to compare to my front-row-at-the-Menier experience of it

Wow. Sunset virgin here who absolutely fell in love with the score last night!! Loved this show very much and am desperately trying to see if I can possibly go back. Is there any hope of it transferring to a theatre do we think? I have to say though, Close must have had a bad night last night because she really was not very good. Her acting is phenomenal but she was straining so much when singing it was painful to hear - and I don't even know very much about singing! Hopefully she'll be better if I go again because I don't understand where the raves about her singing are coming from. Loved Michael and Siobhan and I actually thought the semi staging worked really well (although as I said this is my first time seeing Sunset). I have to agree with everyone about young Norma though who was totally pointless and distracting.

Adding my voice to the Book of Mormon - do not understand the obsession with this show at all.
Interested that with all the discussion of sexism, Grease hadn't come up. Am I the only person that thinks Grease is one of the most sexist shows to exist? Not even sure if sexist is the right word - it just gives such a bad message to women, it shocks me that schools still put it on!

Haven't seen the film so just wondering - what proportion of the songs are original ALW (and yes, some people will argue that they're not original and they've been in many ALW shows already) and how much is songs from the film?

Never really understand why 'shocks' are good - especially in the nominations list. Surely we are decent judges of good theatre, and anyone we hadn't considered worthy (and is therefore a 'shock') probably shouldn't be nominated?

Might it be an idea, in pursuance of this or the profile of the board in general, to move from the virtual world to the real one? "An evening with theatreboard" at some small venue??? This is a nice idea in theory but I think people are forgetting that WOS has a full time paid staff to organise these things. We have had some very kind people putting in lots of time and in some cases money to setting up a new board, but I assume they have lives and jobs of their own and don't want to also set up a whole awards system and ceremony

Wish a Gentleman's Guide would transfer but haven't heard anything about it so I doubt it's happening

I feel like the momentum of this show has just taken over it. I've listened to the album and no, rap isn't my thing but even if it was is it really the best musical ever made? People are certainly acting like it is

Agree he's a very different choice to Bill Murray for the role - younger for one thing! What's everyone's guess for Rita?

This is great and thanks everyone for their hard work - it will however take some getting used to simply having a different "look"!
EDIT - I will also be forced to get an avatar ny the awfulness of the automatic one
