Funny Girl

The house full sign last night indicated there were no sales issues yesterday. Of course it being WEL may have bumped attendance.

Edit: apologies for derailing the thread again, I haven't been online in a while and hadn't seen that there were two more pages after the post I quoted! Just felt that I had to put my views on record as well. But mods, please feel free to delete if you prefer.




I have to admit this is how it comes across to me as well, and the thing about contacting a producer pushed it over the edge for me from you just being an over-excited fan to it sounding a bit more serious.

Yes, you're not the first person to come across as a seriously obsessed fan and you won't be the last, but that doesn't excuse it really. You may think you're just being enthusiastic, but if you're giving the impression to some people on here that your behaviour is verging on obsession or stalking, then that could just as easily be the impression Sheridan would get as well (especially in light of her history of having to deal with obsessive fans), and I'm sure that isn't what you would want.

There's no need to contact the show's producer, you're no more entitled to meet her than anyone else, so just stage door like other fans.

I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but I think it needs to be said as this thread has become increasingly alarming over the past while.

I'm not sure anyone is adding much to this particular topic now so let's move the discussion away from members and back to FG now please. Thanks. 

Did anyone catch a film that was on Film 4 last week or the week before starring Sheridan and Ray Winstone's daughter. It was called The Powder Room.
Not sure what to make of it, it was all very odd.

Wasn't trying to kill anyones joy, I hadn't looked at the thread for a few weeks, and popped back on and it was largely George22 posts and to do with his visit to the show.

All meant in good humour - hope you have a great time at the show! As you were people

Seriously, don't go - one thing I like about theatre is inclusivity, don't let recent discussions drive you away.

george22 - don't go - you must not let the opinions of one poster affect you. Most of us on here are a supportive bunch even when we disagree and there is no need for personal attacks - it says much more about them than it does about you!

Perhaps a break would be best to just go away and think of everything?? He's not leaving, but sometimes a break really helps situations like this.

Assuming Sheridan doesn't come back in the next couple of weeks, I'll probably dayseat towards the end of next month to see the show regardless of who is on. Any recent day queue experiences would be very much appreciated to help me plan how early I'll need to get up!

Aren't TodayTix being a bit risky putting "until 11th July the role of Fanny Brice will be played by Natasha J Barnes"? To people buying off that app, it is making out it is dead certain of the date Sheridan will be back, when she may be back sooner than that or, hopefully not, but later than that.

I saw Funny Girl last Saturday, at a very busy matinee. Unfortunately I realised that it's definitely not my type of show, and I don't see myself visiting any new productions of it in the future. But, in spite of that, I thought the cast was uniformly excellent, and Natasha Barnes especially so. I felt she was the character, a funny girl full of talent and infinite energy. At the end of the show the audience spontaneously jumped to their feet all at the same time. I was in the middle of row P and it was exciting to see that mass of people stand up with such enthusiasm. I had never seen anything quite like it before. In my experience just part of the audience initially stands up, to be followed by others who, I think, often do so because they don't want to miss what's going on on stage. Natasha seemed quite overwhelmed by the audience reaction. It felt I was witnessing a star-is-born moment. I was very happy for her.
