This sounds great! Was wondering how it was shaping up before I get a ticket. The National are just great at musicals, and so nice to see something brand new.

The soundtrack to Evita was first released as a highlights album and a 2 disc set was released some weeks later.

I loved the last revival of Evita....why are they touring that dated version? JCS was the thing that got me into theatre when I was about 8 so that is close to my heart. And Sunset was just fantasic - though just didnt fancy the new version...

Christina Aguilera has the vocal chops for Elphaba - is she too old though?

LND - Les Mis hasn't aged well.

I don't much about this show and never heard the music but the trailer is a real thrill. Does anyone know when the CD is out as there is no listing on Amazon?

GLEE is refreshing. If you don't like it....change the channel and leave it to those that do.

I would say about 50& of people on this site are really up themselves.

I didnt know she had been in Chicago in London I probably would have gone. I've only ever seen her in Mack n Mable in London. I'd never heard of her before and she left me speechless. Think she would be a great Norma Desmond.

This was the music that got me into theatre in 1972! I haven't heard all the versions but my personal favorite is the 1997 London version - Steve Balsamo's voice is amazing (also saw and liked that version a lot). 2nd is the movie version.

It's between Evita and Sweeney Todd for me.

2 wrongs don't make a right - taking pictures is incredibly rude to the people sat around you not just the performers. LuPone completely over-reacted and the audience should have booed her.

Maybe he is aiming for the role in Phantom 2

Where did you get that from Dramarama? He was sat behind me at Parade at the Donmar in London in December 2007. He really seemed to be enjoying himself too.

'Memory' from Cats

(Quote) 'glitterandjazzhands, if you're serious, I think what you did was incredibly disrespectful. Her son is not someone in the public eye, he's only 17, and you put him in an incredibly embarrassing and uncomfortable situation. I honestly think that by doing that, you showed that you have no respect for either him or his mother. I wish Patti was there to tell you this herself. ' Jees givesmevoice - loosen up. Who are you to scold people on this board? Can stand that 'superior' attitude dis...

Looks fantastic....cant see it anywhere on Amazon though

I agree that the staging and choreography should be new. The set and staging of Gypsy is at best tired. I know the original WSS chorography is stunning, but someone like Matthew Bourne could really bring something new to it. It wont detract from the greatness of the original, but it could compliment it. Don't be afraid of change!!!!

Ohhh, I never miss a Conor McPherson musical!

I loved this version - far superior to the HAl Prince original (though I liked that too). It s a shame it dodnt do that well, but I hope to get to see it again if it tours.
