What do people think of the theatre? If you go do you only do the West End/mainstream productions, or is the fringe your thing? Does there need to be 'name' attached, or will you take risks? Is it a medium which should be taken seriously, or an anachronism in today's CGI world?
Well? |

Went to see Hairspray last night at the Shaftsbury theatre. It was probably the best musical I've seen, way better than Wicked and that's hard to top.
The whole production was just superb, the cast were awesome, the songs fantastic... the whole show was a blast from start to finish. I turned to Jay before the show started and said "Who would of thought I'd be so excited to see Michael Ball perform, in drag". Mentioning the cast, it was a good list, of course you've got Michael Ball, then there was Norman from Hollyoaks, Donna Dingle from Emmerdale (who was fantastic), that guy who was on that program trying to find the next Joesph and Neil from the Young Ones (who was also in Wicked at some point a few years back). Anyway, enough of me gushing and being ghey, if you want to see a good show that's gonna put a huge smile on your face then I'd recommend going to see this, there's even a trailer for the show on its website - www.hairspraythemusical.co.uk. |
