Saturday night started at 7 and finished at 9.30 but that was because the standing ovation went on for about 15 minutes- I swear to god, it was amazing.

Would have thought a streaming version would be more likely. Suspect they want to film it and make sure it all works before announcing.

So look, I went in to this expecting to have a bit of a giggle and to be glad to have been in a theatre for a couple of hours... but I just had one of the best nights in the theatre I've had for YEARS.
Sure, there is absolutely no plot, but they make no attempt to hide that. Every routine and gag lands, it's brilliantly witty, topical, crude (just the right amount) and outrageous. I honestly belly laughed for two hours non stop. Beverley Knight sings her FACE off and is just amazing. Julian Clary is honestly just brilliant. Really enjoyed Nigel Havers and Paul Zerdin. Charlie and JAC are great the little they are in. Gary Wilmot did the Tube song and we went crackers for it. EP turns up five minutes before the end and sings As If We Never Said Goodbye and I Know Him So Well and we ate it for breakfast. Diversity did a couple of great numbers too.
Its a brilliant variety show, but what completely floored me was the audience response. An instant standing ovation that was continuous applause, cheering and stamping for over six minutes. The cast took eight bows because we wouldn't shut up. It was just so moving to those onstage and in the house. They moved heaven and earth to make the theatre safe and secure (which is was) yet as normal as possible.
Theatre is viable, we will be back. Its horrid to have to have another interval, but I'm so glad that I went out on this show.

I wrote to the Palladium a couple of days ago to thank them for looking after me so well at the last 2 shows I attended both with Covid measures and also with access arrangements and got a lovely reply yesterday saying how much the appreciated my comments.

I think it actually was Jack and the Beanstalk. Wasn't it confirmed for a brief period?

I love Julian Clary but I agree. I actually wish they would put on a proper panto. As entertaining as the variety show is, there's never a story.
