Sounds like a really great long weekend break, Cat0, with the best bit coming at the end. Hope you have a wonderful time. Looking forward to reading your review.


Fingers and toes crossed, nelliek. Hope everything runs smoothly for you, and that you glide into Plymouth, feeling on top of the world. You're sure to love the show, as we all will: when we get to see it. Looking forward to hearing your news, afterwards.

Best wishes to everyone, going to Plymouth, for a perfect journey, comfortable stay, and a wonderful show.

Best wishes of all go to Jay, and all the cast, and crew of BIG. There's so much warm and excited support for them: I hope they know that.

Morning everyone
A really BIG whoop 🎉🎉 from me to all of you going to see Jay tomorrow.
I am sure you will have a fantastic time and I really wish I was able to go along with you.
Please bring goodies back with your reports if you can. They will be so appreciated.

Thanks everyone

Good luck nellie and all others travelling. Get there safely

Just de-lurking for now to thank you all for keeping this AT going and ofcourse for the wonderfull baby news from Aliona and Vin and BIG news from Jay. I am so glad Aliona and Jay are both so lucky and happy in their live afther Strictly.

I am sure the BIG goers will have a wonderfull time. Enjoyand report back ofcourse. I am still hoping I can go to the WE performance but money is a bit tight at the moment so I am not sure I can afford it.

I am watching this years Strictly but am not enjoying it much. I like Danny because he is good and seems a nice guy. Also like judge Rinder who can be a much better dancer I feel with better music and less facial expression. Also like Claudia, Greg and Ed. The rest is meh, boring and/or overmarked.

OT RaffertyCat I will go to Dr. Strange with my daughter and OH shortly. We also love Benedict and all the trailers I saw look amazing. Looking forward to it.

Wishing you all the best and a wonderfull time in Plymouth to those who are going there. I will hop of and on here but RL is so very bussy and demanding at the moment. Partly good and partly not so good but that is live for you.

Good Morning All!

Safe Travelling 🚂🚗✈️and ENJOY 🎉yourselves, to everyone going to Plymouth this week-end and next week!

Fabulous pics and vids yesterday which Im sure have already been posted- not even going (this weekend) and Im excited about it😝😉

Best of Luck🍀 To Jay, Jessica, Diana, Gary, Irwin, Gregor, Richard, The PlymKids, Stuart Morley and ALL the "Big the Musical" Cast🍀 ✨🎹✨🎶✨🎭✨🎤✨🍀

Seconded. Have the best time you lucky people!

Plymouth will be rocking tomorrow night. Here's to a great show!

De-lurking to say I will be posting snippets of my BIG experience tomorrow on my Twitter @janetnbecks, so those of you who don't want to hear my opinions can ignore.

I almost wasn't able to make it through illness but looks like I now will - with thanks to Speedy.

I would however very much appreciate it if any links to my photos could credit my Twitter account please as that is correct SM/Twitter etiquette. It saves me the bother of watermarking them.

Finally, on a public forum. I'll reiterate what made me leave in the first place. Everything on here is public. So please remember this week and especially tomorrow's performance of BIG, is a PREVIEW....anyone can read.

Enjoy.

Morning everyone
Just wanted to wish all you lucky peeps going to BIG safe journeys 🚝🚝 🚗🚕 however you are travelling.

Here's to you all having the best time & look I forward to any review that you are kind enough to share.

It's going to be a little weird having Strictly on the telly on Sat knowing that J is about to fulfil his dreams 💕💕

All the best wishes to him, Diana, Gary Jessica & the rest of the cast ♫🎹🎹🎹🎭🕺🕺

Best wishes to everyone going to Plymouth tomorrow night and good luck to Jay and all the cast, I am sure they will be brilliant.

Look forward to hearing all about it

Yes, safe journeys everybody! Really looking forward to hearing everybody's experiences. I just love that buzz just before the orchestra strikes up and the nerves are jangling behind the curtain. Jay said the atmosphere in the Strictly final was 'electric' but it will be nothing compared to Plymouth, I'm sure. They'll have a blast, and so will the audience.

Some interviews with J today. if anybody finds a link let us know. Thank you.


Tune into @BBCCornwall at 10.30 and @BBCDevon at 11.15 to hear @JayMcGuiness chatting about #bigthemusical which opens tomorrow!

Thanks jnb_7 - good to hear from you!

Hope the Show is fantastic and Jay is on top form!

You and all the Jay fans will help make it even more special for Jay, and I hope its an amazing first night for everyone.

Yes - who'd have thought when this thread started that so much would change in 14 months!
Exciting times and huge hope for the future, for both Jay and Aliona.

Hope everyone loves the whole experience of being there for Jay's first night!

Let's hope he remembers which routine goes with the white suit!

My sentiments too and to all that are lucky enough to be going all next week in Plymouth. I will be the first in the queue for tickets for the West End show fingers crossed👍
Seeing the white suit, now we know what Jay meant when he said he was getting fitted for suits for the show and some of them were a bit dodgy

Current total views on this thread = 5, 958, 781

Just wanted to wish everyone who is seeing BIG a brilliant time. You lucky things!!

Big thanks to everyone on here who keeps us to date with how Jay and Aliona are doing. Much much appreciated.

A few too many people to multi-quote, but thank you everyone for your good wishes for those of us travelling tomorrow.

So pleased that you're going to be able to make it to Plymouth, jnb_7.

As for the white suit - I immediately thought of the waltz. Forgot about the Rihanna video.

Off to start packing.
Rail tickets, check.

Theatre ticket, check.

Hotel reservation, check.

Clean knickers to throw at stage . . . . .perhaps not, wrong sort of show.
(Besides which I can't aim for toffee so they would probably end up draped over the orchestra leader's head or baton.

Link to the photo from the interview today. Couldn't listen.

Orchestral Maneouvres in the Dark

I'm sure that Sir John Barbarolli
Was never bedecked in lace trollies
Although it's likely that Henry Wood
Might have tried if he possibly could
And it's something that Bernard Haitink
Might dismiss as fangirliness high jinks
But when tossing the frillies with glee
Just take a small warning from me
And make sure that those undies don't drop
On the head of Miss Marion Alsop!

Oh no looks like Jay is back in shorts again Isn't it a bit chilly now for that. Don't want him to catch another cold. Where's Korky? Get those knees covered

Ditto Polly!!
Great to see the white tuxedo picture. They really are staying true to the film aren't they-which is fantastic! Good job he can carry off white outfits.....waltz, show dance.....
Loved the Devon interview . Sorry I cannot do a link-last time I tried I flooded the thread with 'deleted' posts The interview was bizarre and funny!
So excited for all the cast tomorrow!

Thanks. The programme's still on, but it will be on the Radio Devon iPlayer later - Fitz.

It was a fun interview and Jay sounded in great form

Thanks will try to listen later.

Link to one more pic from today.

Look forward to listening later on.


Ah, J is wearing a little Pudsey Bear badge.
