He says he takes full responsibility for his part in  letting them down. When they deserved better. Thats hardly b

Boring, cheesy looking, neither performances nor most of the songs made positive impressions. We decided to leave at intermission, since we did not even like the leading lady. I guess that being last of 9 shows in 5 days didn’t help, but I would not hav

Not homophobic at all. Just the image of 2 queens bitching about something. Sometimes on this board it's like watching The Boys In The Band, but every character is Emory.

There is no burden on me to demonstrate anything. You can take it how you want to take it, but it wasn't intended that way.

It's no secret that i like this show and want it to do well, but then i want most shows to do well. Clearly sales could be better, but what shiow doesn't want more sales?&n

And that's what you deserve.

Here is a brand new musical, that you clearly know nothing about, wri

Someone previously mentioned JL's Evita at the open air. I hated it. I thought it was pretentious, didn't get alot of what was going on, I felt bad for Che laying out there in the cold with barely anything on and soaking wet, I thought Samantha Pauly didn't have the chops for Eva, why were they all bare foot?? So many questions... I went to Sunset with serious trepidation.

Here was Jamie Lloyds, doing the same tricks he was doing in Evita, the bare feet, the slip dress, no

Has Sunset ever been a show where you are emotionally invested in the characters? 

You could feel pity for Norma, or in this production, scared of her, but she's obsessive, deluded, possessive, goes crazy and has a breakdown after killing Joe, either because of Betty, or because he has shattered her delusion of still being a star and eventually making a comeback (Return!)

Joe is generally bland or over it all  and is seen as just using Norma for his own g

Im seeing this next week. 

I've got a recording of the Atlanta production, which had a surprisingly large number of West End people in it - Sally Ann-Triplett, Stephen Ashfield,  Lizzie Bea... but this is not the same production as quite a few songs have been cut and new ones added and on a podcast the writers said that they have given the show much more of a 70s disco sound, rather than the usual Stiles and Drew sound - though that is still very evident in the score.
