This commentator guy is unbearable. He's not letting Elaine get a word in and talks rubbish.

I liked that we saw 3 looks from them all. The runways are one of my fave parts of the show. I don't hate anyone but i also don't love anyone. I fear a little for Heidi, i thought from the meet the queens she would be funny but she actually seemed a bit annoying and ever so slightly out her depth.
I think some of my favoured ones are in the next batch to be introduced so might be feeling it a bit more then.

So when they do the red sea bit and the platform protrudes out, where does it go? Just just out over the pit and they jump off into the aisle or what?

The crowd went mad when i went too. Like, mad. And it was packed to the rafters. I was kinda shocked, i didn't think/know this would be as popular as something like Heathers, which i knew had a big fan base and following, yet honestly the audience and general hype felt even crazier than that. Maybe i'm a bit out of touch.

I think we can surely discuss the merits or not of the standing ovation without it becoming unpleasant or personal, no? Let's calm it down a bit shall we?

I meant to mention I actually walked past Cam on Thursday as I was getting off the train at St Pancras. About to head to Leicester to check in on the show I assume!

Ahhhhh now I remember why I left this place. Heaven forbid someone should express an opinion that differs to that of the majority. There is nothing wrong with a bit of healthy debate @mm , as long as nobody is being rude or aggressive, which I've not seen so far. Any opinion is going to be open to some counter argument.

I find all this a bit ludicrous if i'm honest. For one we know that there have been some issues with the chandelier and that's why the US Tour version is being used, it's temporary, Cam Mac said on the radio that certain issues with the set will be rectified over the course of the run and it will be in full force by the summer. Secondly, Cam Macs productions continue to be some of the highest quality tours around and he tries to get them as close to their west end counterparts as possible, sometimes it's not possible. Talking about his tours as shams and money grabbers is absurd when you compare them to some of the tours that go around with their half sets, costumes from asos and reality tv star leads.

Was there last night with the fam on the front row of the Circle...this is monumental story-telling on a huge scale.Fabulous production values,world-class singing,sumptuous costumes and more technical stage magic than you could shake a stick at. At the heart of this Bible epic is a very emotive human story and I found the whole thing to be profoundly inspiring. A solid gold winner and the WE is blessed to have this beautiful show playing in one of its theatres...we already want to see it again and that says everything! Oh it looks like we did the exact same two show day!

At the matinee yesterday in a sold-out performance. Have known the cast recording for ages and to see the songs staged was simply wonderful. How to describe this? It’s a zany,crazy mash-up of Little Shop,the Faustian legend,DEH and Weird Science with a dollop of Shakespeare,Halloween and God knows what else thrown in for good measure...and it works! Great atmosphere in the audience and we loved every second of it. It’s a very,very entertaining and hilarious show,delivered with gusto by a terrific cast. Yeh it reminded me of DEH too but just like a version they wrote when they were drunk 😜 It turns out there have been TB members at all the shows I've been too this week and didn't know at the time!

Lady at Prince of Egypt last night at the top of her voice as I was going to the bar at the interval
"IT'S CRAP!!!".
I'm so pleased I have her opinion on the show. I mean I and the hundreds of others around never asked for it, but still.

I agree with the 🐻
I thought it was a great theatrical experience and had an epic feel. I think there are some issues of course, but on the whole it's something I'm very glad to have seen and mainly lived up to my own quite high expectations.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm just out of it. It feels a bit long and I'm not so sure what I actually think of this as a musical but I thought it was fantastic as a theatrical experience. I juat did, even though I didn't think the show itself was amazing I thought it was a great experience. Its a weird thing. The ensemble of this are the stars of the show really and the choreography is surely going to be up for awards. I enjoyed the sets as well even though I imagine they weren't as extensive as some people would like. I thought there were some really wow or innovative moments with the set and staging and I thought it was done well in that regard. I was in the circle so can I ask what happened when Moses separated the red sea and that platform came out? All we could see was that a platform started to appear and the actors started to walk over it into the stalls but how far did it go out? Or was it just steps to the base of the stage?

Cam Mack was on Radio Leicester yesterday and i thought it quite interesting that when answering a question about whether he's planning to continue his relationship with Curve in the future he voluntarily brought up in the answer that he saw Curves West Side Story and thought it was one of the best productions of it he'd ever seen... Maybe he just wanted to get a compliment in but it would be interesting if he was involved in a transfer wouldn't it. Who knows

I never cease to be surprised at the amount of people who go to something without seemingly a clue what it is. I could never fathom booking to see a show that a) I wasn't actually excited about and interested to see or b) at least know what the hell it was about or what type of show it was. Baffling. I know it’s so weird. But then again I’m not sure Waitress is necessarily the easiest show to accurately advertise! The seats were so good also, seemed such a waste lol I remember being sat near somebody at the Rocky Horror Show who was appalled by it and left. I mean, come on, it's not hard to do some basic research into a show and whether it's going to be your cup of tea!

I dunno, i mean i think that he tackled SOR quite well and i was surprised by it. Plus it's not his actual idea or story. Based on the clip the music isn't going to be 'young' though.

Louis had tried to launch a music career for years, I think he even auditioned for x factor once. Plus he can obviously dance after SCD. Dunno about acting.

Not in love with the snippet but hopefully it sounds better with full orchestrations. I like Carrie and think she will do a good job.

That would fit didn't NF say they would stage 3 ALW's? Phantom, Paint never dries and Wizard I think they said 3 more? In addition to Phantom? Maybe i'm wrong.
