Here is Marisha singing AIATY at the production of Dreamgirls she did last year. What are people's opinions? She can certainly hold a note! I hope her acting is better at the Savoy... haha I was thinking the same, and the answer is yes, its not as manic as it is here as its directed in a different way, and I'm also guessing because its not in the round she doesn't need to run around as much!

I also saw it last night, and although I was upset not to see Amber, Marisha more than made up for it, she was fantastic and thoroughly deserved her standing ovation mid song! Adam J Bernard as Jimmy is the stand out for me, he has to get an Olivier for this!

Keep the faith...you never know...She is off today and probably both shows tomorrow (she is off the night show anyway per her schedule), so I am thinking she may be back on Thursday well the fingers and toes are firmly crossed!

Well I for one am really looking forward to seeing this on stage having never got round to seeing when Ruthie did it a few years back. I've always really liked the score but having never seen the show Im unsure what the book will be like, however I do know roughly what the plot will be

In the Heights, mainly because it was one of those shows I'd never really fancied, so it took me by surprise how much I loved it.. I enjoyed it another to consider Hamilton (another one that never grabbed me)

I hope this clapping mid song thing wears off before next week when I go!

I absolutely loved Showboat last year, it was one of the best regional theatre productions I have ever seen, it was up there with the Crucibles "My Fair Lady". Lets hope Annie Get your Gun lives up to its predecessors

Does anyone know what days Ben and Celinde don't perform.. Ideally I want to see Celinde and preferably not Ben! Ben does 8 shows a week - Celinde normally has Mondays and Fridays off. Great, Thanks greeny11

I've recently happened upon Celinde on various youtube videos and im majorly impressed by her voice, and having missed her Fantine I would love to see her in Phantom! does anyone on here happen to know what performances she isn't scheduled to appear?
Thanks :-)

really enjoyed this, to be honest I couldn't remember much about the film so not really sure how closely it sticks to the original plot. Some great performances and choreography though, just a shame a couple of the songs never really go anywhere, the standout moments were Love is a leap of faith and Beautiful Surprise, really worth a listen

its going to need a fair few rewrites, unless Bobbie is bisexual and just wants someone to love of any gender, which I imagine is the way they will go with this

I thoroughly enjoyed it.. Ive never seen it on stage and to be honest didn't love the song rewrites and yes Jake was a bit wooden, but hearing Louise and Laura sing Who will love me as I am and I will never leave you has made my year! :-)

If I were Louise Dearman and Laura Pitt-Pulford I would be on the phone to my agent demanding much better work to match my talent. Both ladies are lovely with delightful voices (although they absolutely don't convince as twins) but the show is insipid, dreary, overlong, emotionally vacant and poorly directed. If you're sat on either side of the auditorium, you'll at least get to see the safety pins holding the twins' dresses together because but the show is played pretty much front and centre. Word of warning if you booked your ticket prior to the theatre changing the system for you to be able book your own seat they will allocate you a seat. It may be a really dreadful seat so insist, INSIST, that you're given a seat in the centre set of seat facing the set head on. Don't let them palm you off with anything else. That's strange about the seating as I am sure it was reserved seating from the day tickets went on sale which is when I bought mine. Unless there was some sort of priority booking scheme. What is this about the seats? I booked specific seats for this one in the front centre section, does this mean they could put someone in my seat I booked the week tickets went on sale?

It'll be the original London cast so it will surely get a recording, it wouldn't surprise me if its a live one though as that seems to be the route most shows are going down just lately

I'm seeing the show next week and having not heard the newest cast recording, will I notice a massive difference? looking at the song list for the new recording it seems quote a few songs, such as We share Everything and leave me alone are missing.. The question is, Do the songs which replace them work?
