I'm quite excited for this, but not enough to travel to its currently quoted venues. An extended tour, if not a transfer, would be greatly welcomed!

I enjoyed what I saw last night (David Walliams excepted) and am looking forward to seeing the show.

The Cinderella pantomime has been (and still is) touring for years, so does this mean they intend replacing the sets, "magic", costumes etc with the new ones?

It amazes me the number of people who genuinely seem incapable of finding their seats, and seem mystified when you tell them they are sitting in the wrong ones. They were empty, weren't they, so what is the problem? Or they stand there, tickets in hand, blocking the aisle or row, but seemingly incapable of working out where they should be sitting.

Power must be coming back on, as Thriller have changed their mind and are now starting at 8.30pm. Cursed Child starting at 8.30pm too. I would expect there will be quite a few people having to leave before the end to catch last trains.
Also, I wonder what the ticket/refund situation will be with Thriller? If you'd read their original statement that it was cancelled, given up and set off home, then seen it wasn't cancelled after all and going to start late, but you'd gone too far too turn back? Sorry, that sounds garbled, but I hope it makes some sort of sense!

Yes, SamB, it was the proper version.

I like following performers on Twitter, too, obviously some more than others. Some are more chatty (and funnier) than others. However, I do object to their political opinions being rammed down my throat. By all means voice them (it's a free country), but some of them keep on and on and on - I mean, I'm not going to change my views because a certain celeb keeps banging on about why I should vote for A or B. I admit I used the 'mute' button, or unfollowed them, until the voting or whatever was over.

Saw the matinee today. Full house (cast, that is). It was so, so good, and yet .... why was I completely unmoved? I was totally absorbed, the time flew past, I appreciated the hard work everyone had put it etc etc. I don't know.

I can safely say that I have heard of fewer of this year's contenders than in any year so far.

Judging from the comments on Twitter, with people promising to book now they have seen this on Strictly, I do seriously wonder if people think Mr Barlow is actually in the show.

Cheers That's the worry with Finding Neverland it is very slow to confirm, normally when a theatre operator instigates the stop clause, a show is confirmed very quickly after the closing notices are issued, as the theatre owner has a show lined up to go in. It looks like Jersey Boys producers' closed the show. As bad as Finding Neverland is and people say it is, it wasn't quite that bad and had one big wow moment in it, I would prefer this show than say Let It Be coming back anyday and if it did bring back Laura Michelle Kelly to the London stage, then that would be a great thing. Worried that this show is slow to confirm. Oh please, not Let It Be again .....

Goodness, how shocking and terrifying for you, Caiaphas. Here's hoping you manage to get over it all as quickly as possible (and that the miscreants get their just desserts), although the shock will probably linger for a while. The words of kindness from the Union Theatre must have been a real blessing.

Ah, McKellan's 'Lear'. I remember many, many moons ago (if you'll pardon the pun), my friend dragged me along to see this as she fancied the pants (again, apologies) off Sir Ian. We were oh, so innocent in those days .......

This reminds me of a non-theatre incident at the tennis at Queens a couple of years ago. We had been interrupted by a shower of rain, enough to stop play but not sufficient for us all to take cover. A couple came along to take their seats, their belongings obviously a bit soggy - belongings which included a shocking pink bag. The woman crashed her way along the seats, managing to wipe said pink bag onto the white top of the person sitting in front, where it left a bright pink stain. She looked at the pink splodge, said nothing to the innocent victim, but then whispered to her companion, "oh well, it will probably wash out."

Someone took a photo during the FILM of Miss Saigon today! Did they use flash, on account of it being dark? But of course, to ensure maximum annoyance to everyone else!

Jodie Prenger is due to be touring in Shirley Valentine from March, so that wouldn't give her a lot of time to play Madame T at the Queens.

I'm seeing it at the cinema, and will be buying the DVD.
