My third visit last night thanks to TodayTix offer recently, K21 stalls for £15. Advertised as restricted view due to a pillar next to the seat but you can see the whole stage so not really restricted at all. Plus the seat is by itself so you can be a real "Billy no mates". It's a bargain.
Tilly was on as Robin as Dujonna is on holiday. She was fine but didn't have the vocal chops of Dujonna and there is a bit more chemistry with Dujonna and Sam (I guess as they have been together longer).
Sam was adorable as ever, and I am excited to see what he does next.
Very receptive and quite young audience.
This will be my last visit now and hope it has a future, it could quite easily tour.

Does anyone now when Dujonna is back from holiday? |

By same writers - Catastrophe Bay
As far as I can tell, performed only by NYMT and drama school in Bristol so far.
A wonderful piece set in Cornish fishing village with very powerful story and great ballad/folk music score. I do hope it gets a wider showing at some point. NYMT did it proud last week at Southwark Playhouse.
Opening reminded me of Under Milk Wood and the ending was an echo Peter Grimes.

Echo the above. I caught the show at Southwark last week. I too hope it gets a wider audience. And musical theatre is in safe hands with the truly exceptional cast and musicians from The National Youth Music Theatre who did themselves proud. I've no axe to grind, in that I've no connection with TNYMT, other than I admire their work, but having seen their Ragtime a year or so ago (Fabulous) and now Catastrophe Bay, then I'm keeping an eye out for future productions. And Catastrophe Bay was thoroughly enjoyable with an interesting story and some fine tunes. Second Act needs work I thought, but congratulations all round. Let's hope it has further life. Matt Lucas was there on Friday enjoying it.

Quick Question. I know they've recently released a full cast recording for Two Strangers however, is his all purely downloadable only? Or are there any physical CD's?

No cds for sale at the theatre tonight.
Both new understudies on tonight but made the show their own as a very enthusiastic and appreciative audience showed.
Tilly La Belle Yengo as Robin and a brilliant turn from Joe Kelly as Dougal.
The show worked well and while could do with a couple more stronger songs to balance out the score it's certainly entertaining and cleverly staged. Not sure if it's built up enough coverage for a UK tour but hopefully this show will return somewhere.

I hope the case has a fantastic final performance of this great, heart warming, little show!

Saw one of the last shows in August and enjoyed it immensely, probably the best show I've seen on that trip. Sam Tutty was great and the understudy also (I thought). 5/5

Any news/speculation on whether this show will have a future life? Possibly a tour?
