Just chiming in for a minute on the subject of professional "creator demo recordings." We've had mention of the Spring Awakening demo here- I personally think it's better than the official cast recording, and the indie folk/trip hop elements of the score fit more in the sparser demo than they do in the more ornate baroque-pop vocals and orchestrations of the stage show. I wish he would formally release the album instead of just a bootleg release, the way Sara Bareilles put out her "pop album" version of Waitress and Pete Townshend eventually released his solo demo version of Tommy (about forty years later).

Okay- just booked tickets to the Monday night March 5 Jamie in London- now got ou 5 shows so that should be fun. Thank you for the timely input- it really helped me decide. As for book of whizzer apology- of course you do not need to do that- perhaps I was overreacting- any reason under the sun that draws you to a play is perfectly valid in my book- anyway, hope London in March s not as cold as NY these last couple of days.

This video was shared here a while ago, but bring it back in case people want a glimpse of the music from this show -
Don't Even Know It (from Everybody's Talking About Jamie)

If I didn't know any better, I'd have thought this is a song by Neon Trees covered by a Glee club.

It has a lot of buzz- it could be a repeat of the year Return to the Forbidden Planet beat Miss Saigon or the time Honk! beat The Lion King..,.

Posted: 1/10/18 at 8:35pmThis is a blatant shill, it’s not at all selling out in the west end and word of mouth is not unanimously good.

Saw the show a few weeks ago when I was in London and LOVED it.
I agree that it would be a hit on Broadway - it's a mix of DEAR EVAN HANSEN, PRISCILLA and BILLY ELLIOT. Phenomenal music, brilliant performances and so much heart.
I wish nothing but success for this show
Also to the nasty cranky tomwsir - the show was sold out when I saw it - and walked past the theatre a few times that had a sold out sign - so simmer down "understudy"

Ooh. This brought back memories. I saw Return to the Forbidden Planet...all I remember is that I saw it and I don’t recall it being very good.

As a fan of Dan's band, The Feeling, I can't wait to see this show... he was also a lovely interview when I got to talk to him before they played The Fillmore in SF.

Posted: 1/11/18 at 2:52amA tweet from Dan on the 31st suggests they will be recording a cast recording! Can’t wait.

The only recent original West End musicals I loved is Girls, despite its many flaws. Looking forward to this one.

Honestly i went in expecting to love this show, because of all this praise, and I really wanted to love it because London hasn't had a good original musical in DECADES, save for those written by Elton John or Tim Minchin. They really needed this. But it was a mess. The score is terrible, like really actually terrible, like the kids in the show had to make songs up themselves. Every song is unoriginal and I was cringing. And the story just seems like it would have been revelatory maybe like 15 years ago. Just so disappointing. That anyone is suggesting this could beat Hamilton in any category is insane; I don't think it's even better than Made in Dagenham, which was also poorly conceived with a painful score.
