I saw this a week ago without knowing anything about it. I hadn't seen the film (I didn't even know it was a film), but like Strictly Come Dancing and musicals and had seen the good reviews on here so thought I'd give it a go. I didn't think I was going to get a ticket as it was sold out when I checked, but then a single seat appeared the night before so I snapped it up. I'm glad I did as I enjoyed it. I loved the costumes, and one scene in particular reminded me of Dirty Dancing (but there is a lot more dancing in this show - and the leads sing). I thought it ended quite suddenly though. It was a fun afternoon out, and I do like the venue.

Absolutely loved the final performance of this last night, and even got taken up on stage to dance with the ladies. It's beautifully staged, and flows, with a handsome, sexy cast. Very slick, and just the right side of caricature. The ending is distinctly rushed though, and not the climatic moment it should be. But a total joy. Let's hope when the show comes back from Canada that there is room for it in London.

So pleased that this has done well. It wasn't perfect but it was a great night out. I agree about the ending - but with a little tweaking it could be fantastic. Hope theres a life for this show after Canada.

Just wondering if there were any plans or rumours for this coming into London as I would love to see it?

The show is in Toronto until the end of June. Any gossip or rumours that it will be returning to the UK?

So now we've had the announcement of Jamie transferring, does that mean that Strictly Ballroom is not now coming into London as Tamsin Carroll has been included in that cast list when she is currently playing Shirley in SB? MrBarnaby, you seemed to think this was heading to the Phoenix, has that fallen through?

Run of ETAJ will be limited, and will allow for Tamsin to do both.

You said Strictly Ballroom is opening at the Picc after Annie in the New Year. Annie are pondering an extension and nothing is yet confirmed to follow it. With that in mind, how can SB possibly be confirmed? I'm not saying it's not one of the shows under consideration, it probably is, I don't know. All I'm saying is that nothing has confirmed the Piccadilly, and nothing will until Annie decide if they're going to extend or not, and that won't be determined until they've either re-cast Miss Hannigan or Miranda decides to extend, and they have an idea of sales through the new year. Also according to Mr Barnaby it's confirmed to be going to the Phoenix and he says that's 100% true, so is it going to play at both venues? I'm confused

Transfer announcement imminent!

Yay?
I'm sure its a fine show. It doesn't really appeal to me though, I don't think I'm its target audience. I'd never even heard of the film. So lets see how this one goes.

You're a theatre gay that likes sparkling things & chutzpah by the buttload. Of course you're its target audience! Just think of all those actors that'll be in it, who you love but the rest of us have never heard of!

I knew transfer announcement was due, and could work out theatre. Piccadilly makes a lot of sense.

Piccadilly or Phoenix most likely candidates. But Piccadilly obviously has a lot more seats and is the better option!
