Well i think that elimination was outrageous. No way was she the worst tonight and has been consistent over the episodes. Unlike the person who should have obviously gone home and yet wasn't even in the bottom two!
Fuming.

I have a few. Seeing In The Heights for the first time. Seeing Dreamgirls with Amber Riley and being completely blown away. Then probably the first preview of Come From Away, which felt very special. Oh and there was a trip in 2017 to London where i saw Adrian Mole at the Menier and TCAABR and i just had the loveliest time, i always remember it. I don't know what particularly made it feel special but i always count that as my best theatre trip to London.
I have to say the longer i've been going to the theatre the less of an event or special occasion it's become. I still absolutely love it obviously and it's my main hobby but it feels a bit run of the mill now and it feels sometimes a bit like just ticking things of a list. I love thinking back to a few years ago when i'd be excited about seeing something for weeks and it felt special, especially if it meant a London trip, and they are the shows and trips that still stand out. (is it just me who feels that way btw?)
I often wish i could get that feeling back and funnily enough having this imposed theatre break for the next few months might do it!

This year was going to be my biggest year of theatre going yet, i had a whole Word document/ list of the shows i was planning on going to, it was nearly double what i'd managed any other year. What with all this, it looks like it will actually end up being the quietest year!

How long do we think that theatres will be closed for? I note most statements refer to "until the end of the week" or similar but surely we are looking at several weeks? Or really until the peak has passed which could be months.

Curtains are saying they will still run this week at Haymarket Leicester, which seems unbelievable.

Aiden wears the same thing all the time. A short pastel dress with some arts and crafts on it. It's basic. Very disappointing.
I continue to love Rock and Jan. They are my faves by far. Also Gigi.

I'm excited to see it. I've never seen it in person, my introduction was this was the digital theatre filmed version from Regents Park, which i absolutely loved. Wanted to see a production ever since.

Danielle Fiamanya is on again for Juliet tonight. Man i really want to see her. I hope she gets more regular shows from now on. I saw her in The Color Purple and thought she was a star.

Well i favoured him over Liam Tamne, personally. So did I! I felt more depth from Luke Brady. I'm not saying that Liam Tamne gave a poor performance but i felt his portrayal was a bit broad where as i felt that Luke played his role with more nuance and intimacy. So fair enough Liam might have a stronger singing voice overall but if i was saying who i thought gave the best performance out the two i'd certainly say Luke. On a general note to all, i feel like we should think a bit more about how we express our opinions, especially if it's about a person and their performance or ability. I think there are ways to express you didn't personally enjoy what they did without being as harsh or using the words that have appeared in this thread recently. It feels a bit over the line.

If you read the above ^^^^ please make sure you reply or refer to it in spoiler tags. We don't want things being leaked for all to see on here for people who don't want to know. Be careful.
Regarding the latest episodes, i think my two faves were from it. Rock and Jan. I already knew i'd like Rock and i did but i was really won over by Jan in this episode as well. I think in general this group were my fave group out the two. I really liked quite a few of them. I only ended up liking maybe Gigi from the last group.

Shockingly this was the first time i have seen Phantom, i have to say that these sort of big classic mega musicals are just not something i go for, but seeing as it was coming to my local i thought why not.
As expected, i didn't absolutely love it, it's just not my usual cup of tea, but i did of course enjoy it and very much appreciated what a spectacular production it was. I of course cannot compare this to what is playing in the West End, i assume from comments it's even more impressive, but what i saw i thought was fantastic and some moments and set changes really took my breath away and were some of the best moments i've seen, certainly for a touring piece. The orchestra was stunning and i loved how loud and sumptuous it was at certain points. The Christine i thought was brilliant and i enjoyed Killian though i have to say i'd have preferred a more operatic voice, of which i am used to from the various phantom performances i've seen through the years on TV, youtube and concerts ect. Oh and i really feel the prosthetic for the phantoms face could actually be a little more realistic? I wasn't up close but it just looked very fake. Overall i'm certainly glad to see it and tick it off the list, i always felt a bad theatre fan for never seeing Phantom or Les Mis so that's one down and one more to go.

Following on from the win at the WOS Awards the CEO of Curve was on the radio and said that it's not the last we've seen of the production....so hopefully we'll see it again soon.

I think Adrian Mole could have got at least one nomination somewhere. Not great that a new British musical with an entirely British and young creative team and cast from a regional theatre makes it to the west end and gets totally snubbed, imo.

I think it was quite a good year this year, it didn't feel so much the popularity awards. There was a decent mix of shows winning and some that you might not have expected to win from public votes, especially when they were up against celebs or shows with big followings. I also very much appreciate that this is an awards that include regional productions and give them a chance in amongst everything from London as well as having their own categories.
I just think they need to work on the ceremony and certainly the Radio 2 coverage if they do that again next year.
