'Imagine This' No More — Page 4

hi all, for some reason i've never got around to posting here before, but i was fortunate enough to go see 'imagine this' last night and i kinda felt that i should speak up for it.

granted, it wasn't the greatest or most mind-blowingly out-there entertaining night, but all in all i thought it was a pretty darn good production that i think got a bit of a harsh treatment.

everyone involved were clearly giving it everything they had on monday, to the point that the energy on that stage was actually inspiring. vocally i thought the show was pretty nice and the ensemble produced a really rich sound. the set/design though was in a league of it's own! totally stunning; the rain/snow effect through the windows at the back was a cool touch. i know the critics kinda bombed it, but most of the audience seemed to enjoy the show.

i thought it was really touching to see that despite the show being so close to closing, the cast still gave it their all and it was clear they had a strong devotion to the show.

so congrats to everyone involved! i definately think this show deserved a bit more time to grow and had it opened at a time when people were a bit more willing to spend money i think it might have fared a better

I saw this on Monday night with the £10 ticket offer from Lastminute. Was 3 rows back. I didn't really enjoy the show that much, the strongest scenes were definitely the actual Warsaw scenes rather than Masada. Glad I got to see it though and was worth the £10 I spent although im glad i didnt pay top price.

I completely agree that he cast were phenomenal, as were the music, design and choreography. But whoever thought the original premise for the plot was a good idea is an absolute cretin. Naturally, the book and lyrics have to drive the plot, but because the plot sucks, the rest of the show suffers. Watching the cast, I was absolutely in awe of their abilities, but listening to the words that came out of their mouths made me want to kick their faces in. All that effort and hard work would have much better spent somewhere other than on this limp dick of a show.

Welcome Steve!

I received your message but when I reply it says:

It's somewhere on "Your Settings" which you can find on the left under "Broadway Extras"

It *is* 'War Horse'! How extraordinarily thrilling. :3

We've sadly lost somebody for our gathering tonight due to family reasons. If anybody would like to claim the ticket, please send a PM ASAP.

Well i got to say there were a few things missing that were better off gone for instance the meeting which was on the concept album but had been cut from the show ! the reprise of to touch a cloud in which evreyone but rebbeca and and adam died was so sad and emotional ! that did not help when they then went into a reprise of imagine this ! did not like the guy who played izzy/pompey and i also thought the massada scenes were very week but i could have been better to explain what fully happened to there mother ! peter was fantastic ad daniel and played the role well and made a good impression on me ! but all in all a good show ! there were some bits when it was not so true but hey ho ! and the hitler jokes ! haha quite funny

Had a cracking time. Thanks a bazillion to Exy for organising it, lovely to meet you all, and perhaps next time we all meet up, you should invite either me *or* exedore, if you have any hopes of getting a word in edgeways and/or having a meaningful conversation about something totally non-nerdy. Hope y'all got home safe, full response coming after I've had sleep. ^_^

'And Mama, you're growing senile in your old age - there was NO mention of Fiddler on the Roof in association with Tevye the Milkman.'

Yeah i noticed that the other night, he mentions Tevye, but nothing of Fiddler on the Roof

Thats so sad they couldnt manage a bigger crowd for the last night.

My train was actually waiting for me at Kings Cross and I caught it with, like, 20 seconds to spare. I got SKILLZ yo! :3

My suggestion for the show: tighten up the first act, make us care about the characters, send it out on tour, go from there.

(My suggestion for the second show: bellow in English so the fascinated bystanders can work out what you're so upset about.)

((My suggestion for the third show: don't be David Blaine, you're fabulous as you are.))

We must do this again some time. :3
