Mrs Henderson Presents - Noel Coward Theatre

My back row of the upper circle has been upgraded to centre row F of the stalls!!!

So glad Ian Bartholemew (of whom I had never heard before seeing this) is belatedly getting more mentions and will be seen again soon at Chichester in Half A Sixpence (a work I have, thank goodness, never seen in any format).

This show's sales seem to be on a downward spiral! Such a shame.

I was just wondering: if all the obsessives who see Wicked etc 25 times actually went to see a different show each time, maybe more new shows would stand a chance of surviving. As it is, the general theatre-going generation seems to be dying away rapidly.

Yep. They were selling them last night.

So I saw this last night and not knowing too much about this, especially the music, I really enjoyed it.

Truth be known I've been thinking about it all day.

I had only seen the film many years ago.

I had only seen Ian Bartholomew in Take Flight at the Menier Chocolate Factory a couple of years back and Lizzie Connelly first on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Xanadu. other that that have not seen any cast members in anything else before, but I liked them all. So good to see Lizzie Connelly in something else. She's a real character actress isn't she?

I was certainly aware of Emma Williams, but again had never seen her in anything but now have seen a whole lot more of here than expected!

She was very good. Such a sweet voice.

Also loved the costumes and wigs. Some good lighting.

The disrobing scene; ;its talk about it. Yep, the girls are full naked and as others have previously posted, tasteful so. I don't have a problem with their size. Emma Williams standing full naked in front of you (literally) a few feet in front of you was unexpected.

The guys. Yep, two arses and one of the guys, although cleverly shielded was visible from where I was sitting and anther's pubic lines was visible so yep, they too were naked.

And kudos to them for doing so. It wasn't in the show for shock value but as part of the flow of the show and it was humorous. And the fact that they were (in my opinion) showed their commitment to the show.

It is a shame this is closing too soon.

I want to dayseat for this. Any idea what a suitable time is to arrive on a saturday?

This show was great. I loved it. Problem was that only half of the score is any good.

Emma Williams is a star. Amazing talent.

I have a tomato with your name on it, Ryan.

This pains me to read, and I hope she hasn't lost the magic I saw on the first preview. I hope to return to the show before it closes but I found her to be amazing, I even felt slight disappointment she lost the Olivier to Lara, even though both were amazing.
