Yes we saw Becky Gulsvig and she was awesome. I was a little bummed though because Colleen Sexton's understudy did her role that evening. I saw Colleen in the DVD of Jecky and Hyde with David Hasselhoff and she was awesome as Lucy.

I went to vote for you but how do I do it. I clicked on you on the site and nothing happened.

I saw Becky too! During the tour in Orlando. She was fantastic! :)

Although I'm a little worried about the West End cast...I saw a video of them in their Children in Need performance. Mind you, it could have been nerves, what with it being their 1st live performance...but they were kind of a mess... :?

Oh yeah! It's a record breaker and you know it!
...*sigh*...Why, oh why must Broadway be so far away! =(

Hopefully it was just nerves. I know I get nervous before my first performance of a show.

Fear not everyone, the show is s much better than what was put across on CIN. Sheridan Smith is fab, as it Jill Halfpenny. All the cast are great actually :)
The songs are catchy and it's very funny ( be warned it is a very girly musical) :lol:

The chihuahua " Bruiser" won it for me :mrgreen:

Here's a few reviews of the musica compiled together nicely.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainmen ... 459123.stm
Seems the over all feeling is that it's a good, fun musical that is easily to watch. It's not the most amazing one in the world but you could easily sit there and enjoy it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show overall. I felt the songs were too similar and I couldn't recount any of them afterwards.
I loved the story line and the characters were brilliant and despite some reservations posted earlier in the year, the current cast were on good form. Yes the show is girly, but it was great fun and some great gags.
I confess I rarely post about other shows but I have posted here primarily to say what a brilliant skipping sequence I witnessed at the start of the second half. Over 4 minutes of skipping with up to 12 people skipping in perfect sync and not one person went wrong. I have failed to see a Billy show in my last 10 shows where the skipping was perfect. I wonder if the tempo is wrong in Billy, the skipping was fast in LB but not furious. Are the Billy's too ambitious and should they skip just a tad slower. Or was I just lucky in LB and got one of the rare perfect skipping days?
Would I see the show again - No,
Would I recommend it - yes.

In the 5 LB shows i've seen I have never seen the skipping mucked up.

I saw it last Monday and the skipping was good
It is a great show that people do come and see. Because it's not
just a show for adults, or just for children, or just for people that
like theatre, I'd say for everyone, and it's got so much emotion
behind it. Because who ever comes and sees it, feels the story -
so I think: it's brilliant!" (GM)
