A one off special Blood Brothers would be great with ex cast members.

The one time of the year Malvern gets a younger audience! I need to get back to that theatre haven't been since early 2020. Mark James is a solid panto comedy turn and is well liked by their audiences so usually their pantos are a safe bet. Yes I know!! Mark is excellent and the audience gave it a great response.

On a different subject does anyone know the song playing over the memorium section, thought it was beautiful. So many lost in the last year.

A stunning final with lots of emotion. Began to think Bobby may have swung it , but as predicted Ellie won . I was glad for her as she has really grown through the series. I am no dance expert but her improvement and her demeanour and shock when she won are very endearing.

Saw Cinderella in Malvern on opening night on Thursday. Really enjoyed it and the audience was very enthusiastic.

The whole promise of the show surely has always been how well a non dancer could be taught to dance by a dancer. This through no fault of his own is why Layton will probably not win. Everyone knows his experience with dance and although not in Ballroom and Latin, there is no question he is at advantage over the non dancers.

They must be the most certain winners for some time.

I was surprised at the strong accent of Stevie , having not watched the series , just the final. I personally preferred Esme and Tobias but not having seen the others there was only a choice of 1 out of 2!

If she wins public vote I don't think she can be in the dance off as points for the public vote take preference to judges' votes to break the tie. Yes I see that as at the moment in simple terms if: Judges Public Total Layton 4 1 5 Ellie 3 3 6 Bobby 2 2 4 Annabel 1 4 5 If the above happens it would be Layton v Bobby in the dance off... we will see.But likely to be above result as Ellie always seems to win the public vote.

It just depends who ends up in the dance off. It looks likely that Annabel will end up in the dance off even if she won the public vote. If so she will likely leave unfortunately.

So Aaron Tveit if you are reading this, you better have your flight booked. Just saw Aaron is going into Sweeney Todd from February on Broadway.

For Good is a lovely song that's pretty easy to sing well if you learn the timing properly. Tonight's version was bloody terrible. Yes I wondered what had happened to it, it sounded awful as if one singer kept cutting in. It's a fairly straight forward song too!

Jonathan Bailey said on radio 2 this morning that he had to go back to it to finish filming so i guess they all have elements to finish.

There is little doubt Ellie will win, Layton will probably get to the final plus Annabel.

He was excellent on Have I Got News For You last night. He has great comic timing.

She is, thank god, as genuinely lovely and down to earth as she comes across on stage and tv. Have to agree here . Have met Beverley a couple of times and she was equally lovely on each occasion.

Just back from a holiday to Australia and managed to see 3 shows. Moulin Rouge and Mamma Mia in Melbourne and Tina in Sydney. Have to say the Regent in Melbourne where we saw Moulin rouge has to be one of the most stunning theatres I have been to. The set for Mamma Mia was quite different to London as it was larger and also noted choreography differences.

Is this the highest rated musical in the history of TheatreBoard polls? Have you seen it? Just wondered as I remember you really love the show I think and you had doubts about this production. I love the show too and had seen it many times before but this production really blew me away.Tom and Nicole were outstanding. That's my two penneth!!

Saw this on Thursday matinee and really enjoyed it. Great positive message and loved the use of colour throughout the show ( saw Sunset Boulevard in the evening so total contrast!) I did exactly the same! Agree with all your points.

I went on Wednesday night and it did start late as usual but we did get the full show as it didn't end until 11.30. The show is very technical but Madonna is always late and has been later than this but luckily O2 has a curfew. I'm not the real fan my partner is but I have never understood her disrespect for her audience by the turning up late, sometimes hours.There was a fair bit of lip synching too although I'm not surprised with the amount crammed into the show.

Such a tragic loss. R.I.P. Haydn. Such a talent and so lovely when we met you after the gala last year.
