Seeing this today and looking forward to Julie Atherton in particular as I've never seen her on stage.

Thanks for all the reviews about the changes. Don't like the song cuts, but at least I can mentally prepare myself!

It would be great if it did come back to London. I'd be there.

Julie Atherton is the best Mary Bob I've seen.

Julie was good but I much preferred Katie Rowley Jones in London.

KRJ was good but even then I preferred her understudy (Maggie Elizabeth May).  I really didn't like Marla Mindelle on Broadway.

Saw this last week, loved the show and the cast. Thought Julie was good but all I heard and saw was Sister Mary Kate Monster.

I saw the tour in Wimbledon on Friday evening. Was rather full, however there were a lot of £10 offers for the best available seats.

Cynthia Erivo was the definite highlight. What a delight to watch her performance. Her voice is fabulous and her delivery excellent.

The rest of the cast took a while to grab my attention. My partner and I both thought act one was quite dull and never really picked up until Raise Your Voice. I love Julie Atherton but she definitely seemed miscast here.

Some of the changes worked, others now. Cutting How I Got the Calling for Good to be a Nun baffles me. The new song is just not as good or as funny. Gotta say I didn't particularly miss Sacred Mass. Haven't got a Prayer would have probably worked with a stronger mother superior.

Act two got distinctly better. I LOVED Lady in the Long Black Dress, and Spread the Love around.

I saw the show in Milton Keynes yesterday.  I thought it was much funnier on tour than I ever remember it being in London.  Cast were great, and all the highlights of the show (mainly the big nun numbers) were as brilliant as ever.  Would definitely recommend it.
