Blimey! I saw that whilst a student and didn’t even realise she was in it—she was not on my radar then. I was bored stiff with the production, I remember that, but it was one of my first visits to the then new building.

So envious! But yes, I was thrilled to be present and see her performing Sondheim live at that event—in front of God himself, no less.

23 November 1963. It was repeated the following week along with episode 2. I saw it both times. I’m old!

Agree with you 100%; 4 of us said the same. Whereas, The Frogs at Southwark Playhouse, probably done at less than 10% of the cost, was a quirky delight.

Was not expecting to see Sir Ian McKellan this evening but hearing him do the monologue from Invisible Light live was def a highlight of the Scissor Sisters show 🤩

It was magical to see her last Saturday at the Crazy Coqs, where she included some beautiful Sondheim. Also completely magical duet with Julian Ovenden singing one of the best renditions of “Move On” I’ve heard. Spine tingling.

Donald Trump sparked outrage worldwide with his shocking display of bullying at Friday's Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 145,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

No second state visit for Trump

Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Husband and I have devoured it and both loved it, thank you. Looking forward to seeing what Tommy does next. Having lived through the period I loved the small details that made it so authentic. Yes, I remember “Matey”.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Yup! That’s when I saw it. December 85, and a ‘bit’ older than you. 😂

Wasn’t it sublime! Nearly 40 years since I first saw her perform “I Dreamed a Dream” live, and she still gave me the same tingles.

Loved Titanique. Hugely enthusiastic audience, who obviously did too, but thankfully didn’t perform a Pavlovian ovate. But, such a talented cast, great vocals and dancing, who were obviously enjoying it as much the audience.
