No overture. But at the Odeon in London they have Organist play a Abba melody before the movie started (think it's just form the preview week thought). It was like stepping back in time

The tours apparently the most profitable tour ever done in the UK!
At least its only clogging up the Hammersmith Apollo, its not really a westend theater.
Its nowadays only used for concerts etc. A 6 week musical run has not been done there for years.
I think the last musical to do a long run there was Dr Dolittle.

Most Londoners only really get up if they are told to.. Eg dance along while we sing our best songs again to trick you into thinking you have enjoyed the whole evening.
Some shows Mamma Mia, Joesph, We will Rock You and most notably FAME do this incredibly well. Fame even saves the the one song people know from the show till the encore.
I hate it when shows like WWRY and Fame boast about standing ovations every night etc. Its not really a genuine ovation

Hello. Stupid English Person here, we don't have Amex presale periods over here. Do tickets go on sale to everyone else on the 26th Jan?
Broadway shows seem to start selling tickets a lot later than our westend. Our shows announce they are opening and let you buy tickets sometime up to a year ahead.
