Maybe I just need to put my glasses on but to me it appeared the newsies cast weren’t actually wearing tap shoes? Anyone else notice this? Half of them don't even wear tap shoes in the show, to be fair

Wasn’t too enthused about this from the lineup, but actually really enjoyed it. Suffered from the usual problems of hyperactive editing and showing the audience as much as the stage, but overall I think it did a much better job of showcasing musical theatre than the Oliviers ever do.

Enjoyed watching this tonight.
The ensemble numbers, namely Newsies, Hamilton and Matilda, seemed to get a bit lost in the edit, while Defying Gravity and On My Own (both solos, of course) came across much stronger and coherent.
The audience didn’t bother me as it was performed in a 12,000 capacity venue and not a theatre space. It was more a case of musical theatre performers putting on a gig, from what I could tell, and the audiences acted accordingly.

There is a subsidised scheme being announced on Monday morning off the back of this in which people can (very straightforwardly) claim a free £25 Theatre Token to spend at participating venues (current list is approx 200 venues) Thanks for the heads up on this! Just had an email about it and have got my voucher already!

I enjoyed this. Some horrible timing with the miming though (unless this was just a delay with the iPlayer feed). And the new version of King of New York looked really odd, but I appreciate it's a very different shaped stage and the things they do in Wembley just aren't possible. Good that this show is becoming an annual tradition and they managed to promote touring shows as well as those appearing on the main stage.

Enjoyed Hamilton but most of the shows we've seen many times before or have been around forever. Would like to see some lesser mainstream performances. How many times will we see Six??? It's like listening to Elaine Paige most weeks!!

I found this much more enjoyable than last year's version! A considerable improvement.
Though the Lottery-flavoured "isn't gambling lovely giving all this money to good causes?" mask does not sit well with me...

Shrek looked horrendous. I wish Six would sing a different song, but I understand why they always sing the Finale.

Yes, I know they did but I mean instead of the finale. Like I said, I understand why.

How does this work? Do you have to provide evidence of a lottery ticket at point of purchase? And how?

When they did the vouchers you had to give the ticket number from a recent lottery ticket. Presume it’s the same.

What's the experience like of being there in person from people who have gone before? I kinda want an an excuse to go to Manchester having never been and like the idea of going to this but if stuff like the sound is bad and it's a bit tedious because of it being filmed for tele it might be better to just watch in the comfort of my own home!

Just back from this. Great night! Nicole was being interviewed and I was desperate for her to sing a Sunset song but alas, no!
My personal highlight was seeing Hadestown.
