I wonder if there’ll be a pro shot of it? I always think it’s a shame when an excellent show comes to an end and there’s no record of it

How very R&J appropriate!

Not so controversial. I've seen thr show once and could not tell you one thing about what happened in the show. I just find it very forgettable. Obviously with the exception of Drfying Gravity which is a song that's everywhere and Popular which was partially used by one of favourite singers, I couldn't even sing any of the songs.
But yeah, this is coming from someone who also didn't like Spring Awakening or Matilda despite the glowing reviews of both.

Stage door at Hamilton is really organised. Barriers at the side of the theatre forming a queue, I assume there is a rota or they sort it out amongst themselves. The first time we went Jamael, Michael, Tarrin and some others came to the very orderly queue. Giles did not and we saw him escaping at pace towards Victoria. Others could take notes on how to do it safely and appropriately. And never appropriate to grab someone, people are so entitled. On the subject of alcohol, food and toilet breaks. This happens at concerts now too and it never used to. You can’t sit for 1 hour without needed to get up and go to loo!
i went to see Romens Raganathan last night, a whole bunch of the third row were really late (might have been transport issues) but they’d still stopped to get drinks on the way in, so rude! and then they were also late back from the interval! He called them out but they were so p***ed they just thought it was funny

Ex-Spandau Ballet singer 'raped and filmed himself molesting women'
Jurors were told Wild - whose real name is Ross Davidson - had a 'darker' and 'sinister' side with a fantasy to have sex with women while they were asleep.

Is there really a musical about the Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial?!

Yes the bleached eyebrows look ridiculous. They should have gone with a brown tone to compliment the blonde rather than bleaching them to oblivion. She just looks ill.
Also, the trailer just makes me feel...'meh'.

Yep. Dating.Is Zizi dating Bradley Jaden? She keeps posting photos of him in her Instagram stories the past few days. Just seems a bit much

oh wow, as in Sting? I loved that at the time, but it just disappeared (sank?) since then. There was supposed to be a big performance of it on the Newcastle Quayside which I had tickets for, went to Newcastle for, and then they cancelled it the night before, because the producers were charlatans.
Would love to see it again somewhere in the UK!

Just saw this recently and absolutely loved it.

me too but admit I would have loved to see this with Stark Sands and Billy Porter

I swear to God if I find out he wangled freebies when he went to see Appropriate I will not be responsible for my actions, I know someone on that production and still had to pay for my tickets.. best i got was a slight upgrade to a more expensive stalls seat when both the so called stars were off with Covid

Speaking for grub at the theatre, the last couple of times I have seen a show the bar staff have opened the bags of fruit pastilles people boughtand poured them into a plastic cup (UGH plastic) to supposedly stop rustling... does anyone else want to tell them as well as me both times that seeets rattling round in a plastic cup is far noisier??Had forgotten how dreadful that theatre is for toilet provision (for males anyway!) and curses upon the venue management for selling large tubs of popcorn. nearly all of the second half I had to suffer a woman noisily snuffling her way through what seemed to be an endless vat without a care for the rest of the rear stalls, constant noise from her trotter diving in to the tub and pushing the contents round and round and then chomping noise every so often
PS Saw Bend It Like Beckham at the Phoenix an absurd amount of times and I do not recall the toilet provision being that bad. (admittedly I am female)

I saw a production of Carousel in 2008 and the famous, beautiful opening number with the big reveal of the carousel at the fair? The carousel was a bloody projection. It was the most disappointing, soul-crushing theatrical experience in my life, and remains so to this day. It was ridiculous. Not least because it was a production at the Savoy in London so not some poor regional theatre who might not have been able to afford better.

I saw Guys & Dolls at the Bridge Theatre on Saturday...it was so good! We had second row of the stalls. I'd definitely give the standing tickets a go and we're considering going back to see it later in the year.

Far, far too much CGI. They might as well have made an animated version.

ive said it before on here its absolutely fantastic and VERY funny and feelgood. Idk why it cant become another feelgood fave in the vein of Come From Away but what do I know? I am the one who used to say that about Bend It Like Beckham which was also Glorious

I had a restricted view for about £34 quid or so (used part of a lovetheatre giftcard I had so not sure exactly. I did manage to get 3 shows out of an £80 card tho so go me..Sunset Boulevard, Two Strangers and Hills of California) view not really restricted, comfy. on the aisle near the door handy for bar and the only pain was the pre show subway screeches were a tad loud

I am so curious too! I cannot even begin to fathom anyone out there being willing to go and hear him sing, even if it were for free and no matter if they enjoy his videos otherwise. Nails on a chalkboard sound more attractive!OhmiGodHey did anyone see Mickey Jo’s show last night?! Do tellI don’t mind his reviews and discussions, I follow him on YouTube but would t go to a live show of a blogger

I used to go when it was a teeny-tiny event in Leicester Square! Many years ago now! But other than walking past maybe once or twice and seen the mad crowds, haven't been "in" and spent the day there, since it moved to Trafalgar Square. Prefer to just look through the recordings on Youtube afterwards.
They'll announce the individual Saturday vs Sunday lineup nearer the actual weekend, but yeah it looks fairly standard, a few acts will be on both days, but generally all the well known shows will be on the Saturday, worked around their matinee show times (because they're in London and in costume already so easy for them to wander over to Leicester Square). Sunday will still have a few of the well known shows but is mostly the lesser known shows, the coming soons, and the choir/dance acts.

I’ve seen too many shows with screens this spring. Yes, lucky me to have gone, but just because you can do something it doesn’t need to be done. Going to see Romeo & Juliet in 2 weeks.

Don’t shows/performers fall out of vogue just as quickly though? At one point they barely tolerated any criticism of Carrie but now people say what they like about her
