Wasn't this a musical in Smash! ? Ivy was stuck in the chorus as an angel.

Its Kerry Ellis in a show about Adam & Eve, I suspect the idiot next to you will be in Walthamstow rather than Wembley.

I mean, lets be honest, I wouldn't book for it just yet guys. It really does seem the kind of thing that is announced, has two months of quietness, then announces a cancellation a few months before due to begin due to low ticket sales. Because this is very ambitious of them, a new musical in an arena. The names of Kerry, Ramin, Victoria and Norman couldn't even sell out the tiny Arts Theatre for Murder Ballad, so they are deluded if they think her name will sell this show too!

She's on The Wright Stuff on Monday so maybe the PR starts now.

Surely if this is going to stand any chance at all in an arena it will need to be insanely spectacular. But of course nobody will know this until it begins. So add me to the list of those that think it wont get as far as opening.

According to The Stage, it's going to feature special effects like water and fire as well as animatronics...

When you click on booking links it just takes you to mailing list sign up pages.

You can book tickets through Whatsonstage for some dates right now so not guaranteed shilling... just slightly suspect.

£71.50 for the top priced tickets at the Armadillo = No thanks.

So Sara Jeffs (the writer) originally said on the website this came to her in a dream, she'd never written music before but she was a clearly becoming a conduit of god and she wrote the show in a few days having never written anything. Interesting that was swiftly removed from the website as it probably didn't fill people with hope.
Quick google and it comes up first on The International Church website so looks guessing this is a Church funded show with 'Eden International Productions' who do big Christian concerts and now they are marketing as a musical crossover to pull in a wider audience. I think they might be aiming for a church crowd crossed with theatregoers.
Sounds interesting and I guess I can see them doing well with a church audience I just don't want to go and be preached to particularly.

Well, for those who like that sort of thing I'm pleased they're doing it.
As a committed sinner I'll be giving it a wide berth.

London doesn't go on sale until Friday - unless there is priority booking from some source. Don't know about the rest of the tour. I got them for Birmingham directly from the website. www.heavenonearththemusical.co.uk/ |

Darn it, thought we had a Belinda Carlisle jukebox musical on our hands there for a moment! The actual Belinda Carlisle is touring in October if that's what lights your candle. |

We have just been treated to a preview of this on our local news programme, Granada Tonight. The very sight of Russell Watson is enough to put me off, but the subject matter clinched it. If it is a Christian organisation producing this show, how does "the voice of god" Watson's marital history square up?

Kerry was on the Wright Stuff this morning and was saying they will be wearing bodysuits with projections on to make them light up.
It sounded better than I'm making it sound.

I'm still confused as to how they will cram this arena spectacular with all its special effects into Portsmouth Guildhall

I suppose it would be a little bit much to ask that everyone involved in the production has a sin-free past. God forgives etc. Having said that, I can't stand him either  |
