& Juliet - Opera House MCR / Shaftesbury / U.K.Tour

Is there a cloakroom for larger cases at the Shaftesbury? Thanks.

Saw this for the 2nd time last night (1st time since Manchester) really enjoyed the show. Great atmosphere and I feel the show has transferred well, looking forward to going back again at some point soon

LaLuPone Luggage Hero is your friend

iTunes are still saying "Expected 22nd November" although they have released some songs early: "Domino", "Roar", "Since U Been Gone" and "...Baby One More Time" are available to buy.

I’m guessing the special guest is on the new bonus track of One More Try?

That explains things! Good to know, I was just looking forward to listening to it on my 2 and half hour drive on Saturday!! Next weekend then!

it’s on iTunes for pre-order.

Do you think it would work on Broadway ali973?

(I know it would need great reviews for the WE production but I’m being presumptuous 🙂)

Really hard to tell. I think Brits are more susceptible to this outrageous camp, and I think London musical goers are very forgiving towards musicals so long as the music is good. As far as musicals are concerned with London musical goers, songs/music comes first and everything else second. Broadway theatergoers tend to be different, I think. The visual style of this show really reminds me Head Over Heals (which I've never seen) - but &Juliet seems to have a better overall camp design and obviously music that is more contemporary and has a much wider reach and appeal.

I can't wait for the cast recording, and I can't wait to see it!

Saw it last night. Quite a glorious romp - thought energy levels dipped only very infrequently. A few genuinely touching moments interspersed with a lot of plain fun. And the interaction between the tally bits and songs is really well done. Acting was more than solid solid in the context and excellent dancing by the chorus.

I did rather like the costumes and set as well - lovely mashups. The lighting can be a bit annoying - expect to be intermittently blinded during the strobe numbers when sitting in the front row.

Only downsides were a malfunctioning sparkler fountain and a mike outage at quite a crucial point - well resolved by the actor playing May.

Audience behaviour wasn’t great but not as bad as it could have been. Someone singing along for a few songs next to me, children talking throughout behind me.

It’s November, it’s dark way too early- this show is the perfect antidote. If you’re in need of some lighthearted fun, definitely go and see.

Got a day seat by walking into the box office at 10 am exactly.

On the show website now, it says at certain performances, the role of Juliet will be played by Grace Mouat. I wonder if it's been confirmed how many Grace is doing and what her days are?
