I go by [title of show] rules for an original musical. Musicals have been based on external sources since time immemorial, but @snutte has a valid point here.  I now have 'Original musical, an original muuusiccaaal' in my head. (Frankly as it's kicked Joseph and his Dreamcoat out I'm happy enough with that) |

OK, we've agreed it's probably not an original musical
Anyone know if it's running in rep?
(sorry)

Is Alexandra Burke playing Adrian?

Oh wow - i popped into a meeting and appear to have started a war. I think we all knew what i *meant* by saying Original Musical, even if it might not be the dictionary definition anyway. I'm not sure i read any reviews of this in Leicester, but the word of mouth i heard was all very positive? As long as its sensibly priced and not Menier silly prices i'll be there!

Certainly not a war, just a healthy debate.

lol I used the word 'new' anyway. I'm chuffed a homegrown show from a regional theatre can make it to London, might encourage the rest of them to be braver. It got 4 stars in The Guardian, The Times and The Telegraph so I'm definitely checking it out.

I'm surprised Adrian Mole is having a run in London. I saw it in Leicester and left at half time. The audience in general seemed underwhelmed.
That said, most things I love shut early and vice versa so perhaps it'll be well received.
