I saw it a couple of weeks ago, thought it was great.BalladMan said:If anyone is a fan of beetlejuice (or comedy musicals like Book of Mormon) I can highly recommend the musical.Great fun and excellent performance by actor playing bettlejuice (and others).2 -
I enjoyed The Ghost of John White and recommend it. But it ends on Sunday as the play is going to the Edinburgh festival. Met the writer/producer plus the actor after the show. It’s mainly for Spurs and Scottish fans due to his association with them. @JohnBoyUK

It was pretty good I thought, although general reviews don’t agree.SuedeAdidas said:Got tickets to see Trainspotting in a couple of weeks. I generally cannot stand musicals but am hoping this could be good.I only nodded off once and that’s quite a good benchmark for me 👍🏼1 -
Going to see Jesus Christ Superstar next week with Sam Ryder. Slightly disappointed Boy George has pulled out as playing Herod as I choose this date specifically to see him
I am a big fan of this rock opera , it is in my view by far the best score Andrew Lloyd Webber ever wrote and Tim Rice manages to present the last days of Christ in a human and respectful way. Every time I have seen I gain a new insight.
Has anyone seen it. It feels like Sam Ryder is inspired casting.0 -
Having read the book, Charlton were going to sign him, but wasn't prepared to meet the price that Falkirk wanted.Solidgone said:I enjoyed The Ghost of John White and recommend it.

He was my late FIL dad's cousin and my FIL was the spit of John White.1 -

Went to see Cyrano de Bergerac last night, got half price tickets from London Theatre Direct last week. Superb play, well acted, great lighting and Adrian Lester is unbelievable, hard to believe he’s only three years younger than me! It’s only on for a few more weeks, get to see it if you can.0

Going to see The Comedy About Spies for the second time on Friday. Got cheap tickets through the London Theatre Week offers.
Shamilton at The Other Palace in a couple of weeks. Improvised hip-hop musical by some of the people who do the US version of Whose Line is it Anyway.Beetlejuice at the end of September and then Reece Shearsmiths spoken word book event in October.0 -

Trusting that your return visit is a strong recommendation?
Seen the original cast perform both The Play That Goes Wrong and Peter Pan Goes Wrong and the physical theatre/slapstick/choreography, especially in PP, is unlike anything we've seen anywhere before or since.
PP was on tour so the stunts were all carried out on a relatively unfamiliar stage so the jeopardy must have been huge.
Safe to say our hopes are high indeed.

My daughter and I are massive Mischief Theatre fans. We saw Spies right at the beginning of the original run and both agreed it was potentially our favourite thing that they had done. It is great. Loads of original Mischief Theatre members in the cast as well.Billy_Mix said:
