Chrissie Smiff, did your hubby see Journeys End? Want someone who has seen it to see if it's worth going, want to book. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp Please :)) Lynda

Hi Liz Did you enjoy saturday Night Fever. Let us know. Lynda

Great idea for a thread! SNF is fab! Lion King is amazing--wonderful costumes, music, etc. Jerry Springer is hysterical! But not for the faint-hearted! I really fancy 'Journey's End' and also 'Mary Poppins'.

Hi Lynda Sorry, I only just spotted your query about Journeys End. Hubby hasn't seen the new version, he saw it years ago. He says it is a good play. He loves anything at the theatre, so if you need company I'll put him on the train :)) Chrissie p.s. Hubby just said 'If they're doing it in London it will be good, they'll give it the works. Whatever that means :))

Nudge for Lynda

Hi Chrissie Thanks to your hubby, very nice of him, but going to Canterbury to see it, but if he likes I can do it again in London, love to get out to the Theatre. Will take his advice and book, but if I don't like it. will he refund the ticket price please:)))))

Hi again Lynda He says 'sorry, but in line with most critics, I don't give refunds':)) He also said, seriously, he would love to know what the production is like after you have been please. That's why it's sometimes difficult to recommend a play, as the production can make all the difference. Chrissie x

nudging cos no-one has told me about The Producers yet sob sob!!! Maz. XX

Lynda - forgot to tell you. I rang the Old Vic in Bristol the other day - I have a load of material that I thought might come in useful for costumes (they have their own costume department) - I offered it to them and they were pleased to have it.....BUT - guess what!...I get two free passes to any production they are putting on!!! - The brochure thingy arrived Friday....What to choose?...What to choose!......Either The Turning of The Screw...or The Importance of Being Earnest - I haven't watched either as a stage play....but my son could do 'A HAND -BAAAAG???? when he was about two years old! LOL....Or there's The Odyssey....loads of stuff...the theatre school too...I am spoiled for choice. Magsxx

That's great Mags I hope you enjoy, whichever one you choose to got to. We belong to the friends of the theartre we use, and get concessionsons on shows, and if you go on certain night you meet the cast and have drinks with them, met quite a few now, have alays been very friendly. Lynda

We have a nice theatre in Coventry (The Belgrade) dont go a lot as it is very expensive.

Hi Chrissie I will write my report when I have seen it :)))) Hi Margaret Our theatre does cheap nights and stanby tickets, can often get in a quarter of the price if you're lucky, perhaps it would be worth asking i your theatre does that., worth a try :) Lynda

im going to see rebecca at the mayflower in southampton tomorrow night starring nigel havers ,we get to see it before it goes to london,will let you now if its any good. karen

Hi Lynda/Mabel? Thank you - we will look forward to it:)) Chrissie

That would be great Karen, Look forward to it, Thanks Chrissie I keep forgetting to switch, as Mabel is so nice to have around, she talks the same as I do :)) Lynda

not sure if you would term this theatre or not - my son and d i l are going to Cirque de Soleil in March - I am so jealous - they did offer to get me a ticket to see the show with them but the fares were a bit pricey lol

nudge for Karen in the New Forest, to see if she is home from seeing Rebecca yet and can tell us all about it :))

hi just got back well if you now the story its fine but nothing like the film very sparse with the props didnt change the scenery at all and they kept cracking jokes through it which spoiled it for me as its not that sort of play,we thought nigel havers was a weak maxim but maureen beattie who played mrs danvers was excellent,sorry but was a bit dissapointed. karen

That was a shame Karen, still at least you went, hope the rest of the night was good though. Lynda

I just came back from London. I saw the Lion King on Friday night. Amazing Costumes...BRILLIANT!! :-D Lucia
