Rumours were that The Young Vic were going to do it - but again - who's the transfer audience? Rights would be so expensive it doesn't seem like it would make commercial sense. Gutting because I would LOVE to see this done in London.

Great find of the concept album, just having a listen now. I love a bit of Sophie E-B. Isn't it Betty Boo?

I was discussing what the show might do after this far too short run in the interval with some of my other class mates as I went with my Theatre Studies class. I think someone hit the nail on the head. It will probably go on tour and be a success, then it will have a break and go on tour again and be just as successful. Then they'll take it to the West End and it will be a massive flop. The show is just too specific to Sheffield. Most of the jokes no-one would get unless you live in Sheffield. I hope they release amateur rights for it though because I could see it doing well with amateur and youth societies. Said the same to someone else. I feel they'd need to rewrite it slightly for a London audience if it were to go there. I've been in Sheffield for three years now and even then a fair few of the references went straight over my head. I've heard that they need to work on the middle because there isn't the wow moment of the drag show that he goes to appear in. Also from the album - is that really the last song in the show? It feels like it goes out a bit flat - I thought it would end with another big pop number showing his success in London (a la Billy Elliott).

I need this to transfer to the West End ASAP! Maybe Trafalgar Studios? That would be great! Can't think of a theatre that would work for it otherwise....

Had £5 tickets to this on Wednesday but completely forgot about it as had the Travesties opening night. Should I rebook?

I'm not going to make it to Sheffield to see this show but glad I can listen on Spotify! There's my Friday night sorted!!! Also has anyone got a spoiler plot synopsis they wouldn't mind posting so I can make sense of the songs.
