Oh Emma Freud was getting increasingly annoying during the time she did the introductions, getting all "I'm SO excited to see this". During one of her last stints she was interviewing somebody (the artistic director?) about what's coming up and when he finished she did a little jig with glee that she didn't notice the guy going off camera and she awkwardly called him back to answer one more question

I can't stand all the adult cats who despise Grizabella (the young ones at least want to approach her) for the vaguest of reasons.
Sure, it is the flaw of the musical that nothing is explained well but we're talking about the majority of the cats we're following for the whole musical and how am I supposed to relate to them when I don't get why they hate Grizabella.
Is it because she left? What does glamour cat mean exactly? Why is that a terrible thing for cats? Does it mean she likes to be glamorous and is proud of it? - says the cats who act high and mighty most of the time
If the musical is going to make a song and dance about Grizabella at least explain! Does the film explain?

12 foot of water under the STAGE! Well that water that seeps into the stage during the drought has to go somewhere!

I stand corrected on points I've previously made.
I was talking with a friend today lives in Southampton and is involved in the arts. He brought up that the City Theatre was built as part of Southampton's bid to be city of culture in a few years.
But in his opinion the problem they have is that Southampton is not a cultural city through and through, and therefore there isn't an audience to fill the theatre every night.
Of course there is the Mayflower Theatre where panto, big musicals like Lion King, Les Mis and Wicked and stand ups sell out. Well known shows with names. Those are more attractive and I think I remember reading a comment on the old board about the fact Southampton is a touring stop not far from London with direct transport connections so there is an audience coming in to see the touring shows
