Saw this on Thursday matinee and really enjoyed it. Great positive message and loved the use of colour throughout the show ( saw Sunset Boulevard in the evening so total contrast!) I did exactly the same! Agree with all your points.

I went on Wednesday night and it did start late as usual but we did get the full show as it didn't end until 11.30. The show is very technical but Madonna is always late and has been later than this but luckily O2 has a curfew. I'm not the real fan my partner is but I have never understood her disrespect for her audience by the turning up late, sometimes hours.There was a fair bit of lip synching too although I'm not surprised with the amount crammed into the show.

Such a tragic loss. R.I.P. Haydn. Such a talent and so lovely when we met you after the gala last year.

I was there Tonight and have to agree. Excellent performances all round. Vocals and orchestra excellent. Anyone with doubts go and see it!

'm getting old as just looked at the celeb pics arriving and I know about 40% of them. Mind you getting Dame Shirl is a bit of a coup. Where are said pictures?

Yes compared to last week the scoring seemed a little more realistic. I know it has been said before but Leyton has such an advantage over everyone else and the I'm not basic line did nothing to endear him to an audience despite his performance.

The Orchestra sounded fabulous on that clip. Not too long until I get to see it in mid October.

I don't think there has ever been a show 1 where 7 of the couples scored 28 or above. The standard did seem higher than ususal.

As long as the orchestra isn't stripped back, I believe there are 17, then I will be happy whatever strange things are happening in stage. Looking forward to your view on the show as it's one of my favourites and I am seeing it in Mid October. Seen it many times with Elaine, Petula, Faith and Glenn.

Kylie just has that sort of magic, you can't put your finger on it really. She is a pop icon and will always have success as long as she continues recording and even beyond with her huge back catalogue.

Not specifically Abba but lots of happy Abba fans today after listening to Agnetha's new single from the upcoming A+ album. An updated version of the original A released 10 years ago with reimagined versions of the original songs with the new single.She was interviewed on Radio 2 this morning.

I have been away so missed this awful news. So sad and remember seeing Chris in Miss Saigon. Such a tragic loss. R.I.P.

Ellie Leach from Corrie and Paralympic athlete Jody Cundy the next 2. Following a similar pattern to previous years. At least I have heard of at least half of them!
