I wish I could go but unfortunately it falls in the middle of my exams plus I have very little money atm.
The cast list sounds fantastic. I saw David Bedella in the Rocky Horror Show a few years ago and he was brilliant as Frank N Furter. Leila Benn Harris has a beautiful voice.
I hope everyone who does go enjoys it and gives us a full report when they get back.

I'm going and I am so looking forward to this, I think Marti as the Arbiter could steal the first half of the show, but I can't wait for Pity The Child and I know Him So Well in the second half.

I'm also looking forward to hearing the Josh v Marti in the 'pop sing off' and Idina v Kerry in the 'MT Diva' sing off, oh and I love the sound of Aoife's voice, I hope she does really well in the ensemble.

Can't wait!
