The show must go on. Palace theatre

It's now up to 362,000 views.
Thats pretty amazing in 20 hours.

I'm watching tonight.

I loved the opening song.

I'm just up to the Disney bit. There's definitely a family resemblance between Bonnie and Zizi! Although how somebody so slim found such an unflattering dress I do not know.

Olly sold it for us - pretty much the first thing my (74 year old) friend said afterwards "We are definitely seeing Back to the Future, he was lovely!!"

He performed it brilliantly on Saturday and played a bit with the audience. He got a huge ovation.

Have to admit his Saturday evening performance didn't make me want to see the show any more than their Children in Need performance did. It wasn't an elevated performance compared to some others.

I’m playing catch up. Who was that fabulous woman doing Thunderdome from Tina?

Finished watching the concert just now, loved it (overall)!

It was nice to hear different songs (rather than the obvious ones).

The lack of chemistry between Lucy and her Roaul was dreadful, and I still have no desire to see Jamie, Pretty Woman or Matilda on those performances.

Mazz, JOJ, Lexi, Laura, Alice etc were all amazing, you could hear every word. My husband was blown away by Me & the Sky, my daughter loved the performance from SIX!

I cried when my boys came on, Dom & Tom, I miss my job!

I think I may try and find the time to watch a few of those performances again before the streaming ends.

Well done to the guys that had an idea, and Nica for giving them the space to do it!

They had to read off the ab-libs to make sure they were word-for-word the same every performance!

I don’t think anything other than a solo MOTN works out of context from Phantom…maybe WYWSHA at a push.

So I watched this tonight. Impressed by Laura Pick as Elphaba, BoM was great and John Owen-Jones is my favourite Valjean, of the 30-40-odd(!!) I've seen around the world. To me, he is absolutely definitive. His Bring Him Home is the best ever.

"All I Ask of You" was a bit of a mess. Raoul very shouty and stiff. Almost bored-sounding. Reminded me of the older fashioned guys they used to cast, like Robert Finlayson and people like that. Except younger, natch. There were also timing issues. No chemistry between the pair whatsoever at this stage, but these concerts often lack in that area.

Decent enough watch, a nice reminder of theatre finally returning. Nothing I'm desperate to see though!

Liked most of it. Zizi can still sustain that accent and kids were good- shame they couldn't use their costumes. JOJ reliably excellent, Alice Fearn great in that role. Jamie was all the better for using one of their female songs. Six was spectacular - just needs the other 40% of the musical written. The Matildas were interesting - were they the cast that was on pre lockdown? They looked older , and very experienced . And older worked well - perhaps younger isn't better in that role? Prince of Eqypt. Mazz  and Pretty Woman  were other highlights.

Liked the chorus too - sounded good and looked very enthusiastic . A pretty awful thing to have graduated at a time when there was literally no job to go to. And that must be an interesting experience getting to sing with so many of the top names out there- even if it shows what it takes to get those jobs.
