The only truly great musical ALW ever made. It's a shame the rest of his dross crossed over and this didn't.
Whistle Down the Wind was also excellent x

The original was played at fever pitch and went over the top. This one was quieter, more realistic, and therefore had a greater dramatic impact"

The original film is fantastic, this was not good. Watered down to meaningless by the direction. Glad I didn’t bother schlepping over to see the play I’d have been mighty disappointed.

Not according to the article. And on the Nimax website you can start booking Jamie for performances beginning November 8th."
Nica Burns continues:
“Also returning in due course, when the conditions make it possible, are Everybod

I'd have thought so, but I haven't seen it so I'm not sure.
Superstar definitely is, but it's open air.

The major difference is that people are only on trains for a few minutes, and can easily move if they are confronted with an uncomfortable situation. Science tells us that time

Owen22 said: "Well, six of them anyway. And only one starting in October. The theatre that house Harry Potter will not reopen until social distancing is done away with. But Everybody's Talking About Jamie will be reopening with social distancing in place.
This makes seven I think as The Mousetrap is reopening this fall as well.

Because the people in the tube don't belt directly toeach other's faces without a mask while doing complex choreographies, or do they? Maybe that's what's different?

I don't feel that bad yet because I don't think this has a snowball's chance in hell of happening. I used to think my UK theatre friends had their heads screwed on pretty securely, but not any more. Maybe it's Brexit, but whatever it is this pandemic has triggered some sort ofdelusiona

The highlight for my friend and I (who also hated it with a passion) was the woman in the front row who was sat reading a book the entire first Act and then in Act 2 she fell asleep with her arms and head on the stage LOLOL

I absolutely hated it. But that was more the show itself than the production. I actually think it topped Cats as my most hated night at the theatre ever. I enjoyed the kids performance and the wife was ok but that was it. I have never seen a show before where I loathed every single character in it.

That wasn't just the actors though, there wasn't a single Jewish person involved in the entire production and it showed. It was dreadful!

I really wanted to see it at thePlayhouse just to see how they did it there with the walkway etc as I’m sure it was just as good but I never got around to it unfortunately. It was my fave production of the year and I’m gutted I didn’t get to see it again

Jordan Catalano said: "^Wasn't he amazing?? He was the best actor I’ve ever seen live, playing that role."
Yup he was brilliant. I only went to see it because he was in it and he didn’t let me down. The whole production was amazing! Glad I saw it at MCF though as I think it would’ve lost some of its magic in a larger setting.
