Bonnie And Clyde - Drury Lane/Arts Theatre/Garrick/Tour

Yes we are

Thank you, I can't wait. We're on row J and I've got a bright pinky purpley coat so feel free to say hi anyone who spots me :-)

Row J of stalls? If so I'm in the same row so will look out for you.

Happy 'Jeremy Jordan Day Part 1' everybody!

Hope everyone enjoys it tonight, sounds like there'll be a lot of us in, a proper theatre crowd. Looking forward to reading everyone's thoughts 😁

Hoping there's enough merch that there's still some tomorrow! I can imagine it being very popular.

My coat is now in the cloakroom so I'm wearing a jumper with a large sparkly star on it. The afternoon tea here is stunning, loving it.

I am here now.

A VERY busy foyer.

If you intend to purchase merchandise or pick up a signed programme, my advice is to get here early and allow a lot of time to do so.

There are two separate queues.

Anyone who was there tonight, I hope you loved it.

Anyone who's there tomorrow, you will love it.

Anyone who couldn't make it this time, I'm certain it will come back in some form, they've put too much thought and care and effort into it for just two nights. The audience's reaction was fantastic and there is clearly a big market for it. Whether it would have the same appeal without Jeremy remains to be seen, but word of mouth for the show itself will be strong.

Calling it a concert is selling it short, it's not far off a full production, with sets and props and costumes. Everyone is brilliant, particularly Natalie McQueen and Trevor Dion Nicholas, and of course the leads. Frances Mayli McCann is proper leading lady material, and Jeremy lives up to expectations again. No he can't pass for 25 anymore but the voice is sublime.

Wildhorn, Black and Menchell were all in the audience, as were Tim Rice and Sam Tutty.

Definitely get there early, the queues are mental. I think it started about 7.40 after a speech from a producer, and finished at 10.05.

The staging was very good... each portion of the set told you exactly where they were and enough dialog was spoken that you knew the context of the song (even if, like me, you weren't familiar with the original). Although I am curious, the 'concert' was 2-1/2 hours with an interval... how long was the 'full' version? I found this version very satisfying and have a hard time imagining more talking would have improved it.

It did definitely feel like an 'insider' event with lots of schmoozing and smooching among the audience. The three authors were there... Ivan Menchell, Don Black and Frank Wildhorn. And some folks around me were lip-syncing to the songs (but not singing out loud, thank goodness!), so definitely an audience of fans.

The show was filmed for future broadcast and streaming (as will tomorrow night). They made a special announcement to turn off phones (not just mute or put on vibrate) because of the filming.

Altogether a unique and thoroughly enjoyable event.

I've got a bootleg from Broadway to watch later in the week, I'll report back how long that is!

Glad you enjoyed it, although I spent the evening in the second row of the stalls at DEH and, even without a cast board, I'm pretty sure I was watching Sam Tutty!
