Honestly they've lost credibility and relevance at this point. I remember when Sunset revived a few years ago and it also received 0 nominations, which was ridiculous. I can see some of the snubs, but surely some of the performers/performances; set, lighting design deserved some recognition. And sorry/not sorry - I haven't seen the show, but still enjoy the score that ALW could've at least been acknowledged. I for one hope they do film it. If they did By Jeeves, why not? You’ve not seen the show but the Tony Awards have lost credibility? That seems like a well informed opinion…

I went in with low expectations but I have to say I actually really enjoyed it. My 2 main criticisms would be that the acting from the children was a bit hit or miss. And also that Neverland itself felt quite empty and needed to be a bit more magical. But I thought this was a solid remake and also one of Disney’s better direct to streaming movies. Jude Law as Captain Hook in particular was great!

fb.watch/k3kFN_s2-I/This feels incredibly misleading. No mention on that post to the fact they are just producers.

Another great episode this week - the Cummng/Chenowith number was a joy. For the last series Apple released the songs from the show with each episode, can't find them yet on Apple Music for this series, I hope they will be released at the end of the series.

They clearly knew this was going to happen. It’s no coincidence that they released the two official pictures before these leaks started.

Bigger set leak today so watch at your own risk if you don’t want to spoil anything. You can hear more of No One Mourns the Wicked and a look at some of the choreography.

The sets look great. The costumes look great. The vocals sound great. Who knows how the final product will turn out but I’m getting very excited! Hopefully we might see a leak of Cynthia as well soon. I’d imagine they will use this same set for the cat fight scene.

I’m going to assume that throne like thing that she is standing in is part of the bubble with the rest to be added later with CGI. It gives it that mechanical look which is in keeping with the show. But also as the Wizard doesn’t actually have any powers the idea it looks like an invention that he has created rather than an actual magic bubble.

I would imagine this is for No One Mourns the Wicked. I like the decision to go with pink. It looks great on Ariana.

Saw this last night in Birmingham. A lot of empty seats which was a shame as the production itself was great fun. Very ridiculous and incredibly SpongeBob. I don’t know if you would enjoy this if you’d never seen SpongeBob before. The cast was great across the board. A couple of little sound issues here and there and some of the live sound effects weren’t timed very well but apart from that it all ran very smoothly.

First 2 episodes released today and they’re fantastic. Definitely feels like a huge step up from the first season.

Not to cast a bum note but let’s go ahead and spread some negativity shall we? Let people be excited. This looks way more certain than the Jagged Little Pill announcement was.

Previous winner Loreen is performing for Sweden again. I think we could be seeing Sweden win again this year

I don’t think it’s awful at all. Frankly it’s a bit of a bop. It’s very radio friendly and getting much more air time than our acts in recent years. It has sat at number one on iTunes over the past couple of days and is climbing the streaming charts.
Is it a winner? No I don’t think so. It’s not a particularly competitive song. But with some good staging I could see it hitting the left hand side of the leader board. It helps that it’s incredibly catchy.

Must have been lucky but got straight through and got tickets for the Saturday Grand Final preview at 1pm. Which works perfectly me for me as I won't need to find any accommodation in Liverpool and can be home in time to watch the actual live show that evening Well done. Thats the one I'm trying for and the time bar is about half way along now. Can I ask, does it allocate you seats or can you choose your own? You couldn't choose your seats. I rushed through it so this might not be fully correct but from what I remember it gave me a choice of standing or seated and then it allocated me seats from there

I would have gone for someone like Michael Mcintyre over Graham Norton. From seeing him live, I'd say he's very skilled at finding the humour in unplanned occurrences and very sharp. Graham Norton is a bit predictable and his humour often relies on cattiness, and is not so good/clever off script. Of course, Mcintyre is a white, heterosexual male, so probably that disqualifies him amongst those who decide these things. Or maybe he was approached and not interested. I couldn’t think of anything worse than Michael McIntyre hosting Eurovision.

Well this is just lovely!
For context this little girl went viral earlier this year when she sang Let It Go in a bomb shelter in Ukraine

Maybe they didn't know they would have to cancel until the last minute? Why are you waiting for a text if you already know it was cancelled? What do you mean? 'waiting for a text'? your missing the point entirely. Firstly, navigating around London, I do not expect to keep a watchful eye on Musks Twitter and bigbrother Facebook - both of which i have never subscribed too. BUT, had a 'text' or an 'email' come through - at any point in time - i would of received and noted that. MY Gripe is 'they' couldnt be bothered to email or text. Hence the large ( annoyed ) crowd outside theatre at around 7.15pm when we arrived. I have continued to complain. Im sure they didnt want to cancel...but odd that illness all up and running literally within 24hours where the show went on with full capacity!! Disgusted and will never ever watch Hamilton or attend that theatre. I've heard it's not that great anyway. They only managed to get the show back up and running again the next day by pulling in previous performers to come back and reprise their roles.

In regards to the prize money I believe they can do it because the contestants have earnt it. They’ve done challenges and they’re the ones voting people out. No producer involvement in who wins.
Unlike Drag Race where you have a panel of judges where it’s all a matter of opinion and the winner is ultimately decided by the producers of the show.

What could have happened for this recording to have gotten all the way through editing, printing and shipped to stores for it to suddenly get delayed? There’s some talk of legal/contractual issues but surely that would have all been sorted before setting a release date.

It’s a magnificent recording! God knows what’s happened with this release but hopefully it will be much more widely available asap. I think it captures the show brilliantly
