I saw this yesterday and I loved it. Not the best i've seen, but to me it was a highly entertaining show with some great dancing!

Just back from seeing it! So much good but it's just not for me. I think I'm just not an 'old school' musical type. I would've enjoyed it as a play.

Caught the matinee this afternoon on its last day at the Savoy. For me a game of two halves. Drags a bit first half aside from Cuba scene. 2nd half was fantastic though with no let up in the tempo.
Think the packing up for the move was a bit ahead of schedule. Scene in first half with telephone call was minus the telephone which was missing. Some good on the spot improvisation followed and deserved applause. Personally I liked the way Adelaide was portrayed.

Out of interest did Jamie Parker normally come on at the end wearing mission uniform and playing the drum. Seemed to be a lot of cast laughter going on suggesting last day antics.

Yes, Sky coming on at the end is part of the script! It is a final gag to see a committed gambler become a "redeemed sinner" in the Salvation Army!

I think the score is lovely and there are some magnificent moments but the book is quite dated and overtly sexist. The lyrics to 'Marry the Man' are cringe worthy.

The lyrics to "Marry the Man" are of their time, but the melody is great.
Saw this at the Savoy and thought Jamie was undoubtedly the best thing, learned about the extension to the Phoenix and was miffed I would be missing what I think would be a better cast - and today I find I've won tickets through a Dewynters competition! Whoop!

Didn't really fancy this, but Sam Spiro sold this for me. Why doesn't she get more leads? Worship Imelda, but hoping for Sam as Rose one day in the future. Love to have seen her Fanny Bruce as well.

Apparently some band members have been cut for the transfer to the Phoenix. The tour allegedly has a similarly trimmed down orchestra too.

I wonder if the Phoenix is going to have an orchestra pit for Guys and Dolls? Beckham, Once or Blood Brothers had the musicians on stage.

Going to the matinee tomorrow, I knew some of the music but not seen on stage or on film before!
'Luck be a Lady' is a fave, I was going to the cinema but not now!

Tour-related query, specifically for Bristol on Wednesday matinee, 13 July - these could be good questions for those that 'do' social media as I'm clueless!
Who is Miss Adelaide, seems as Louise Dearman has deserted us?!
Will Richard Fleeshman, Anna O'Byrne and Maxwell Caulfield all be performing - if not, who will be?

Louise Dearman is off today in Liverpool. Lucy Jane Adcock is playing Miss Adelaide, I assume because they haven't rehearsed the Tour understudies yet!
