Apologies if this has already been posted previously on this thread but I can't find any info on it - when is the show closing? Really hoping to catch it before it leaves.

Saw the matinee yesterday and really enjoyed it. I thought the set was great! You could tell they are opera singers rather than musical theatre performers though and have had different training - it was sung very well but I thought there could have been a lot more development of some of the characters. Great show though!

Saw American Idiot a couple of weeks ago and the gentleman behind me proceeded to sing every song rather loudly and flat. It was a terrible show anyway, but he just made it even worse.

- Stephen Sondheim is the greatest composer of all time and ALW's music is so dull and uninspiring. - RENT is over-rated. - I hated Alfie Boe in Les Mis. - Lend Me a Tenor should never have closed in the West End.

I enjoyed the tour so much when it was in Newcastle I ended up seeing it three times, and each time it just got better. There were some really polished performances and fantastic energy in the big numbers, oh and I LOVED the set!
Louise Dearman was brilliant and sang Adelaide with so much character, I had seen her previously in both roles in Wicked and wasn't too impressed, I thought she suited this part much better and looked comfortable in it. Richard Fleeshman had an interesting voice ('non musical theatre') but it worked for the slickness of Sky and I liked him a lot. Anna O'Byrne had a beautiful voice and I found Maxwell Caulfield hilarious! Also special mention to Jack Edwards for the best rendition of Sit Down Your Rocking The Boat I've ever seen.
RUN and see this show, you will not be disappointed!
