I'm guessing the Orpheus is at the Royal Exchange. I am seeing both, but like you I had no intention of seeing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof till I saw the cast. If I had to pick I would choose Orpheus, I think Imogen Stubbs is fantastic and I would see her in anything and the director Sarah Frankcom's recent stuff at the Exchange has been very good.

I was there for the first performance along with Bono and the Edge (wonder what they were doing there?). I enjoyed it, I would agree that the songs were okay if largely forgettable. The cast are fantastic, especially Rosalie Craig. It does differ from the film in that it focuses on the romantic aspect and it spends a lot of time on his friendship with Arthur Conan Doyle and the fellow writers he played cricket with. There was a standing ovation, obligatory these days, but I guess most people ...
