Stuck in a bl**dy traffic jam on way home but must report that this is a good show. That Rory Kinnear holds the huge Olivier in the palm of his hand. And I have to eat my words about the revolve. I'm sorry o dear revolve, here at last you are used to good effect.
Looking forward to reading what you guys think and discussing.

We need people prepared to learn and change! Your approval of the revolve use is enough to make me now want to book, I'm curious as to what it was up to! |

Someone please, just do the Beggar's Opera.......a joyous, lusty piece filled with great melodies. I loved the RSC one a couple of decades ago.

I think of Jersey Boys as a drama with songs.

A musical will advance the story and ultimately the plot, a play with songs doesn't.
