But I didn't like the changes they made... I would prefer to see it on Broadway! Obviously I've seen the film a million times... Really?! I had no idea that there was a production on in London at the moment. Who was running it? Did it have anything to do with Andy Stott this time around? William Baker and Steve Anderson... Well it was a six month run, it's over now. They supposedly "got rid of the grunge and guitars" to bring it into the 21st century which panicked me a bit - I liked the way it was before... but they didn't change much - it was pretty good really. |

Musicals aren't camp! Take Avenue Q for example...

I love musicals!
I've seen: Starlight Express, Cats, Le Mis, We Will Rock You (original cast - Kerry Ellis, Sharon D Clarke), Joseph (not the Lee Mead one), The Lion King, Chicago, Lord Of The Rings, Wicked and Avenue Q (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Favourites have to be, LOTR for the stage effects, Avenue Q for the puppets (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif), the storyline and the music and Wicked, well I just love everything about Wicked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) I saw it in April and am going back in December and possibly again in the summer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) I'm going to buy the soundtrack when I have the money, mainly because of Kerry & Sharon but there you go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
So yes, planning on doing Wicked again in the summer and December for the comeback date and then WWRY at Easter. I'd really like to see Whistle Down The Wind but it's touring america at the moment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Same goes for Miss Siagon. Are there any LOTR fans in here? I seem to be the only person I know who absolutley adored it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) |

One of my favourites is Blood Brothers, which I believe is still running in London.
Also enjoyed Les Mis, Lion King, Mama Mia etc. A total disaster (IMO) was Whistle Down The Wind by Lloyd Webber...a great film completely changed for the stage version. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

^^^ I've heard some good things about it, and I love the songs but it's not in England so I can't see it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
I'll have a look for the film... |

I love musicals too. I think I've seen every show out there; I'm in NY like once a year for work so got to see the newer ones as well (like Legally Blonde -- which I don't like, btw) My recent favourites are Avenue Q and Wicked (seen both the original NY cast and the London production for both...)

Ooo I went to see the pyjama game last year (was alright). My friend is playing in a production of Goodbye girl in a months time so I will probably go see that too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I want to go see Spamalot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The soundtrack sounds hilarious |

Am totally and utterly obsessed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have seen Les Mis, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, My Fair Lady, The Phantom and Evita on stage. And in our theatre group, I have played the piano for Annie and the Sound of Music, and we're doing Les Mis in three weeks! |
