I don't get to go to many shows, as everyone else in my family hates theatre, and I have no money. But I'm going to go see the loca production of We Will RocK You on Tuesday. I'm going to see Rent and Hairspray, Joseph and Wicked again soon, hopefully.Everyone should go see Les Mis soon, the Broadway Valjean is coming over here. Of course, JOJ is better, but it's a chance to see Drew. Did anyone else go to West End Live this year, BTW?

Wish List (have some of the CDs):
Wicked
Avenue Q
Chicago
Miss Saigon
The Lion King
The Producers
Cabaret
not to mention that without fail i always buy the brochures (2 if there is 2 of them) i have to plastic boxes full of them!
:eek: I've seen that too! It's brilliant
Saw it on a trip in year 10 for my GCSE's.
Would LOVE to see it again.
I've seen Disney on Ice if that counts. And I've seen some weird thing about the Tate Gallery.
*Chicago - whilst it was touring the UK
yeah i have to have them both too! even if i have seen the show before (and there's been a cast change since, so the brochure has changed) i will buy them! and also the cd is a must! (i shop around for those though, they over charge at the theatre!)
The Victorian Music Hall thing was just awful. And the Stomp section of it has actually permenantly reduced by hearing. Did you see Kerry Ellis singing The Wizard And I? I cheered for her so much I lost my voice for a week. It was worth it though, I can hear myself on the Youtube video.
:eek::eek::eek::eek:
I could never EVER see Gandalf's thing...
:eek::eek::eek::eek:
It just ruins the wise old wizard image that I have grown to love
That was on the Sunday wasn't it? I was only there on the Saturday shame as would liked to have seen Kerry sing that! Still haven't seen her in Wicked - shame on me!
