What Jordan says. 1000%.

Some really good stuff on tap for December. We have tickets for All My Sons and Paddington.Palladium Panto starts December 6. It really is a must. Over-the-top and so entertaining.Crossing my fingers for a Benjamin Button extension. It wasn’t on my radar last year, but i went on Jordan’s recommendation (thanks Jordan!!). It is such a special musical.

Jordan Catalano said: "Thanks, Scott. :)You're already seeing "Oedipus", whichwill absolutely in my top five theatrical experiences of the year, maybe my number one. Lesley Manville is one of our greatest living actresses and her and Strong together give two of the most tense hours I've ever spent in a theatre. I wish I could go see it again but I need to check out "Giant" before heading back this weekend.I'd really recommend "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" if you haven't seen that yet....

Jordan Catalano said: "Just saw the matinee today. I'm a huge fan of the film and had a good enough time at this. Coogan was fantastic in his multiple role and the show has some really great set pieces. I'd give it 3/5 stars - not a bad way to spend the afternoon."Thanks for posting, Jordan. I’m heading to London in early December and this is at the top of my list precisely because i want to see Coogan do this live. So glad to hear he delivered.i respect your reviews on this board, Jordan, so...

Thanks so much, @Blaxx.🙏🙏🙏🙏

@jordancatalano - Jordan, curious to hear your thoughts on this production. We have a couple of slots left in our December theatre trip to London. I always respect what you have to say on theatre that you've seen, so am mulling over whether to add this or not. Thanks.

And now here is Imelda 30+ years later, the subject of a party-like show on Broadway while her son is leading the Philippines. Implicate the audience, implicate the country, in all this. Have people sing along to a boppy tune and then pull the rug out from under them."This. 100 %.

Cue the confetti. In this club setting, this show needs a better send-off. I’d suggest some sort of remix a la Six."Kind of funny that for all of the production’s arguments against hiring live musicians revolving around “this is karaoke!” that they end up cutting one of the most clearly karaoke-i...

@voteperon. Thanks for writing that.i’m kinda baffled by some of the reactions to the dance floor tickets.first, it’s great that there are ticketing options for those who don’t feel like standing. Fantastic.For me and my friends (me 60 and friends in late 60s and early 70s) who saw this multiple times at the Public, it was important for us to get the floor tickets because the show is such a unique experience.Also keep in mind that the show is only 90 minutes long. I know that 90 minutes can b...

@Jarethan is bang-on. The play was meh and short. Silver and Mantegna were good. And I thought Madonna was fine. The role didn't demand much of her. That's what she delivered.The thing that I remember more than the play was the crazy stage door scene when we were trying to exit the theatre. Barricades everywhere. It took some effort to get out of the area.

Jordan Catalano said: "This play is SO. GOOD. And you don’t have to be a fan of the film to enjoy this (but it certainly will help)."Agree, Jordan. Saw it in the West End and in Toronto. The script has great energy and the performances terrific. And the way Ian Shaw channels his father is quite something. And the whole time i kept thinking back to when I was 11 years old, lining up for hours to see Jaws when it first came out. Soooo many summers ago. :)

@vernongersch - I’m with you on this. Liked it. Was glad I saw it. But my expectations were probably unrealistic after all of the incredible UK reviews.

Thanks, Jordan. Back To The Future it is!!! (I did see Life of Pi back in the fall. Loved it!!)Thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated.

@jordancatalano Jordan, I'm heading to the UK next week for an extended stay. Curious if you might have any recommendations that I might be missing out on? I'm booked for My Fair Lady, The Corn Is Green, Straight Lines Crazy, The Burnt City, To Kill A Mockingbird, House of Shade, and Bonnie and Clyde. (I saw Cabaret and Get Up! Stand Up! last December. I enjoyed both a lot but don't feel the need to revisit.).I've always admired your take on theatre, so would welcome any suggestions that you ...

I so wish I could have been there.This show is such an extraordinary thing to experience. I’ve seen it three times in different cities and I was a mess At the end of each visit.:)i dont get back to the city til the end of June. I do wish the run could hold on for a couple of extra weeks. Sigh.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.it looks like I’ve got some prep to do ahead of my June visit.

@blaxx, I’m seeing it in June. there’s some discussion on the West End Theatreboard that people were having trouble following the performance and actually missing parts.Did you have any problems?

Thanks, again. Jordan. Much appreciated.

Everyone who sees the show, double vaccinated or not, will have to show a Covid test taken within 48 hours of attendance."Owen22, anything you can post here? I didn't receive an email from the theatre and can't see it on their website. Oh, and thanks for flagging. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the testing info, Jordan. Heading to London at the end of the month and was getting overwhelmed in doing testing research.
