I hope they can use part of this score and turn into a song, it really is beautiful 'He sleeps'
They have to include 'It must have been love' by Roxette

As long as they are creative with this then I'm on board!!
It's one of my all time favourite movies...there has to be a big number for 'Big mistake, huge'

What an absolutely brilliant show, I must say sitting in row E and dead centre at £10 was something!!
I loved this show, the staging and design was a joy to behold. So much thought and creativity on that stage that it was a joy to witness.
Act 2 is solid and Act 1 just needs some tightening up but it's already in such good shape that any worry I had before the show was quickly gone!!
I do not agree with 'random girl' opening up Act 2 as a bad thing...I applaud when shows care about smaller characters and storylines that have a payoff and it totally worked!!
I love the cast for this and Andy Karl (whom I had seen twice on Broadway 'Altar Boyz') is just a West-End leading man.
I got the warm fuzzies from this and I think it's a hit, fingers are now crossed for an original London cast recording.
Loved it!!!

I was front row centre last year and it was amazing!!
All the action right up close, lots of eye contact and well maybe a little bit of spit as it really is that close!!!

Love a bit of Meat Loaf...oh are we not talking about food?!
This is very interesting and most say an interest in this musical is born from me!

Oh fantastic news, I'm going to see an amateur production in October but this has been on my want to see list since falling in love with the cast recording. Bromley looking likely for me!! Plymouth is on the tour next August. Well no reason I can't time one of my Plymouth visits to you around this show I guess (three this year so far buddy!!)

It's had a great run, went for a 2nd time last week and loved it again!!
Nothing will quite beat Ray Davis coming on stage on my first time, plan to see this again before it bows out in October.
Think it will do well on tour

See I think the show has the great balance of entertaining for children but also for adults (clever Disney jokes that fly over the heads of the little dears).
I am clearly a target audience for them (in the fact I don't need to be directly marketing at) Being in my 30's I was a kid when 'Aladdin' came out so you have a huge audience there in itself they will go to relive their youth!
Not surprised with the range of critics star ratings and reviews, it's going to necessary appeal to certain reviewers but the show is high quality and I would say both regular theater goers and causal (the 1 or two type) will be satisfied by the wonderful staging, the songs and that 'Disney magic' that it will attract repeat visitors and a huge fan base - For me to was 4* and is a brilliant addition for the West-End and see it having a healthy at lest 2-3 year run.

I went to the matinee on Saturday and thought this was a marvellous strong play for 'The Union' to end on (before it moves across the road).
I loved the set and it being in the round (square) and the acting is first class

Before I met friends at a bar to gather together, I walked down Old Compton Street and was so moved that 'Aladdin' had replaced it's signage with the rainbow flag. It was respectful, thoughtful and touching.
I was at the vigil last night, it felt so important standing shoulder to shoulder with people in a 2 minutes silence, the release of 49 balloons and the Gay Men's Choir beautiful poignant rendition of 'Bridge over troubled waters', I of course wish that last evening didn't need to happen but it did and shows we need to strong strong and not live in fear.

Absolutely lovey version of this song, not to be a cliche but I am very much looking forward to Babs new album, no idea Daisy could sing and I agree that Anne steals the song (if only briefly!).
Not sure how many people watched 'Glee' but I wondered if you liked their version? I think Sarah Jessica Parker is suited to this song and was a great guest star on the show

"Her time off was meant to refresh her batteries and get her head straight. But clearly it's not worked and bosses feel she's not ready to return" Says who I wonder? An "unnamed source"? A "close friend"? Basically you can write anything in a paper these days and call it news and fact. Unnamed source, they could be reading this thread and say people on here are the 'close source'...ohh the papers!!

Booked!!
Going with my friend Warren, nabbed C9 & C10 on Sat 10 December (Matinee) - Nice little excuse for a Christmas get together following the show.
I saw this back on Broadway in 2006 (meaning I actually saw the film in Times Squre pior to seeing the stage show!) (also I did see 'RENT:Remixed' which I didn't hate). Ended up in the bar on 42nd street after drinking with the cast, the 'Roger' (Timothy Howar) was then married to Ruthie Henshall and I remember him telling me about 'Peggy Sue got Married' musical

Not press night, too early in previews.
Might have been a media night but these tend to be later in the preview period.
