This was a seasonal gift for me, and I thought this was a real delight.  I wish I could say I loved it as much as I love the film, which is undoubtedly in my top ten films of all time (last year, to celebrate my birthday, I stayed at home and watched the film for the umpteenth time, because my life is wild).  I probably enjoyed the film a teeny bit more, but I was just so happy to actually watch this.  All the cast a delight - (showing how bad my awareness of musicals has become) I'd never seen Scarlett Strallen before but now I'm in love, and everyone else was great.  I liked the fact that they didn't try to recreate the film - there was a freshness to "Make 'Em Laugh" or the title track or all of it, really, which was lovely.  I left humming the title tune.  Oh, it was good.  Not perfect, mind, but just a wonderful evening.

I meant to ask - who sang Beautiful Girls?  When they came on I was blown away!  He had a really great voice!

I went on Tuesday sensational show loved every minute. Daniel Crossley was off but Brendan Cull was excellent in his place. Anyone know who was on as u/s Lina? Didn't get a slip in my programme but she was simply superb. And hilarious!

When I went, I saw Flora Dawson as Lina but I have a feeling she's second cover.
