has anyone got day seats for this? I was wondering whatthey were like, if you could see the stage well, good legroom etc?
thanks
Yes, got day seats Thurs night - stalls £25. Excellent seats. Rather underwhelmed with the show though. DV cannot do the impersonations - surely the whole point of the play! It made a mockery of Ray Say telling Mr Boo that it was LV singing not a recording of Shirley Bassey (or was it Judy Garland, Dusty Springfield etc - couldn't tell the difference)! Alot of the humour in the play was missed (not just by me, but by the whole audience!). I usually love Lesley Sharp's work, but did not like her interpretation of Mari Hoff - at some points her accent was so thick couldn't understand what she was saying and I know the script! Didn't think her costumes were right either (not tarty,or tight, or common enough). Mark Warren as Ray Say looked the part, and his "bluebird" scene with LV was one of the high points. Sadie (Rachel Umbers) stole the show for me, and I really liked Jim Cartwright's son as Billy and the wonderful two piece band that played at the club! The set was excellent. Just made me wish I had seen Jane Horrocks on stage in the original production.
