Really enjoyed it. Typical Cartwright. Nice flow to the production. Quite impressed with Denise. Thought Matthew was a little fumbly at times. Good production. Not earth shattering by any means. Attracted quite a few new audience members to Hope Mill and it got a very good reception throughout and at the end

Better than I expected. From the opening bars of the brilliant overture from an on stage 20 plus sized orchestra right to the very end it was an amazing "concert"...basically the full show. Can't name them all but the whole cast were superb..maybe Matthew Kelly's small part a weak link but that's being petty. Hope word of mouth from those who saw it will move Hope Mill onwards.What they achieved over a week or so rehearsals is unbelievable.

Good to see a pretty decent turnout. Apologies to the doom and gloom merchants. Looking forward to the show

This is definitely going on my list to look out for. Was the last one the actor/musician one with Jodie Prenger? Yes it was. I enjoyed it

I thought they were meant to be stupidly overpriced to support Hope Mill! Really don’t want to lose this theatre The very point indeed. It is and has been a brilliant addition to the Manchester theatre scene. Good luck to them

Not much progress on sales since I last posted the seat map. Overly ambitious pricing sadly. The HM is a good cause but this is very misjudged. Not going then???

Can someone who saw the show live say if any of the featured shows were omitted from the TV broadcast ? No..all the performances were shown. Jamie sounded poor on the night and Nicole's interview was heavily edited due to her non answering of questions and repeating herself

Any idea of any major cast changes for the Wednesday matinee in Manchester?

Yeah..I've got my Lowry 2 for 1 tickets but was surprised it was not in the Quays thatre. Seemed a good fit. A two hander in the Lyric...might struggle unless some patrons will think it is a full blown Dolly musical

I was just thinking the other day I've not seen MFL for years on a professional stage...I love Opera North's ventures into musical theatre..I'll be there. Should be a glorious sound

She’s gonna be so naff as Rose… count me In!! I'd love to be there but would need to travel back to Kent via London on an overnight coach so still weighing it up at the moment. I think they should have made it a matinee with the VIP bit afterwards ! As for Jodie Prenger she is high profile, still well remembered as Nancy from Oliver, and currently in Corrie. It's a one-off fund raiser, a concert version, and her presence will put extra bums on seats. I doubt if she will be in the slightest "naff" but even if she is does it really matter ? I find it very very sad that some are sniping at Hope Mills attempts to raise money.

I love Hooe Mill, the shows and the people. I also love Jodie Prenger so I'm going to support them and their work. Hope others will too

Just bought Mcr tickets. Actual half price first night. I paid 29 pound for decent seats. Bargain. Yet again not a word from ATG by email to tell me. Appalling service

Saw it in Manchester tonight...I'm guessing the female lead was an understudy...She was terrible...Many audience members could not hide their "amusement" with her poor vocals. I've seen thousands shows and this performance was not good. Spoiled an otherwise good show, nice slick staging, good vocals from the guys. I don’t know what you were watching but I saw her during the matinee today and thought she was amazing. I could sense a few nerves at first but she got better and better as the show went on. Incredible vocals.

Clary was shocking.. Ruined it.
Sound for Judas' vocals also seemed a bit off all night. Not sure if it was the sound mix or his voice or a bit of both
Thought Mary and Jesus were good
Hadnt seen the previous London productions but enjoyed this production
Band sounded good
