What was the last show you saw on stage, and what did you think of it?

I saw the touring production of Annie - I didn't think it was brilliant (as I had just seen Phantom of the Opera for the first time just two days earlier!) but the kids were good, the dogs were cute and Su Pollard was just hilarious as Miss Hannigan.
London's West End: Wicked x2; War Horse; The Phantom of the Opera; Jersey Boys x2; Sister Act; Lend Me A Tenor; Betty Blue Eyes; Legally Blonde; Les Miserables.

UK Tour: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat; Annie; Blood Brothers; We Will Rock You.

Oh my gosh!
I just saw Oliver,
it was AMAZING,
Jodie Prenger & Griff Rhys Jones are incredible, perfect for the roles!
A day earlier I also saw Phantom and that is mindblowing!
I loved them both so much, I am seeing them both again this year!
AMAZING
I recomend them both!

GO SEE THEM!

OMG - Legally Blonde - Brilliant, has a bit of everything - singing,dancing, comedy, and yet also touching. Sheriden is amazing and all the cast work their socks off!

"Hairpsray". I had a very good time (not my favourite musical) but enjoyed it, espacially some scenes and the dancers.

The last musical I saw was Legally Blonde. It was great fun, the score surprised me with moments of brilliance, the dogs were adorable, and I was in AWE of the dancers (still am, actually laugh.gif).

I saw Sweet Charity and Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake last week.
Sweet Charity just confirms that any Menier's production should not be missed, and I am hoping it'll transfer.

Swan Lake was just breathtaking. I knew Matthew Bourne's work for quite a long time but it was the first time I was attending a live performance. I will never ever miss his productions again.

I will not dwell on the last 'musical' I saw because it was Peter Pan at the O2 and I think everyone will guess my review of that! (not helped by the fact that we weren't aware of the Jubilee line being out of action (our fault) and being directed towards the number 288 bus by a lady at Waterloo that didn't seem to know where she was never mind where we were going!, the bus journey taking 2 hours to get there and missing the first half as a result!) on top of that I think what they have done to the millenium dome is a total travesty - it's blackpool in a tent!!! Anyway I said I wouldn't dwell so.....

the last actual musical I saw was We Will Rock You and of course it was amazing as it has been every time we have seen it. The last musical we saw for the first time was Sister Act and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about it, not a single negative observation to be made. The cast, songs, sound, view from our seats (near the back) and the acting were out standing and I hope it stays at the Palladium for a very long time.

Phantom of the Opera - London - best I have ever seen it done, Rebecca Lock was sensational!
This is my street, I smile at the faces I've known all my life, They regard me with pride.
