Am I the only one who thinks the woman playing Fiona might be a little bit too old? I'll reserve judgment until I see it but I've seen her on Call the Midwife and she seems to play older well

I echo those sentiments, such a good atmosphere tonight and a wonderful production. I haven't laughed so much at a show in ages! Felt very privileged to be there and tempted to go back later in the week if I can get a ticket!

I've just had a nightmare vision of future Wizard casting: Les Dennis. I know he's in Addams Family right now but he wont be forever!

Omg I am sat here in the dress circle having been blown away by Amber and Liisi. Billie Piper collected her award but a few people around me commented she may have had a few too many drinks before the show! She was a little all over the place!! Loving it so far though!

Here are my thoughts. I had quite a bit to say at the end of the video about the show and there are spoilers

I know. And then they tried to come over all casual and were like "ok then, that's fine we'll try again Saturday"

Also behaviour in the theatre was excellent. Can't say the same for 2 ladies at Stage Door afterwards who demanded to the theatre staff that the cast come or and see them. Kerry had been and gone back to her digs but that was it because the cast were attending press drinks. They were so rude arguing with theatre staff it was embarassing!

The have released some images from the show. What do we all think? I quite like Natalie McQueen's Mad Hatter costume. Kerry's looks ... interesting if a little plain. I have just booked Wednesday's shows in Sunderland in addition to the Tuesday night so will hopefully get to see Michelle Pentecost's 2nd Alice show! If I can catch her as Hatter too that would be a bonus!

A Chorus Line tour needs to happen. It's not like it has a very complicated set or anything, just a couple of mirrors and a flashy background for the finale. There is enough talent in the UK to cast it! I loved it at the Palladium a few years ago

Check travelstay.com for cheap B and B hotels around London. I use it a fair bit when I need a cheap getaway

Rachel Wooding is playing Alice at the dates that Kerry isn't! Might have to travel to York after Sunderland to see her do the role. Still no new alternate though

Does anyone know when Wilemijn will finish in Wicked? Really want to see her before she goes. I know she starts after Rachel but January and February are no go times for me

I am really glad I didn't sell my ticket for this now and I can't wait to watch it tomorrow. Love the movie but I know the stage show will be a slightly different beast and I am intrigued to see what it's going to be like.

Wouldn't be so sure on that! If you look at the website she is no longer listed in the cast!

Shameless plug but I spoke to Wendi Peters and Stephen Webb who told me little bits about Wonderland after the concert in Manchester!

I had front row stalls and did the meet and greet with the cast afterwards. Stephen Webb who will play Jack/the white knight told me that a lot of the Wonderland score has been rewritten, including his boyband number. Also that the song. 'I am my own invention' will no longer be part of his role anymore but has been given to Dave Willetts. Which I think will work better. Jackie was the highlight for me but all the girls were amazing! It was such a great night tonight, lovely atmosphere

It got me thinking how many times have you been to a certain theatre over the years even though the production changed? I have been to the Gielgud 3 times for Hair, AVENUE Q and umbrellas of Cherbourg. Like wise the Palladium I have seen Sound of music, Sister Act, Cats and A Chorus Line. What about you?

Carolyn Maitland had uploaded 2 videos of her singing from Wonderland. Seriously want to see her as both Alice and the Hatter as she smashes these songs!

OMG. A woman has just pulled out the largest bottle of wine possible out of her handbag in the auditorium which is definitely not allowed! And I of course have to mention the constant movement of people getting up and B the using their damn phones to light the way back to the seat. Grrrr!!!

I''m currently in theatre etiquette hell aka the Gallery at Newcastle Theatre Royal. Watching Mary Poppins and I'm not kidding the sound of wrappers and sweets and even bubblegum are louder than the performers on the stage. Then there are the people sat next to me who think they are at home watching the TV with their shoes off, feet up and talking and fidgeting about. And they don't have the cleanest smelling feet either! I could cry!
