Apologies if there is already a thread for this but I caught this yesterday. Sophie-Louise Dann is already a favourite but my god is she brilliant in this! I have seen Imelda do it and (runs for cover) Sophie-Louise is better. I didn't really rate Michael Ball when I saw him and Hugh Maynard could sing it better, although his Epiphany let me down a little. I think he could have given more. Jack Wilcox and Christina Berrington were a lovely couple together and for once Johanna didn't drive me crazy! Simon Shorten was also outstanding as Pirelli. The set was brilliant and the use of the revolve was really well done. Unlike the Ball/Staunton production which had little twists to the set, this production simply does it like the period it is set.
A really brilliant afternoon and a bargain at 16.50! If you are local to Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire - go and see it!

Good review
I was not that impressed with IM's Nellie (gasps)
I do love Sophie Louise Dann though
