Hello! I was just in Dublin 2 days ago. I'm in Scotland now, Edinburgh to be specific. I haven't heard of any major musical coming to Ireland soon, but I'd love it if there was, because I love going to Ireland, and I'd love it if there was some theatre that I could see there, but don't you guys get some UK tours?

Someone please, for the love of all that is good, SHUT EMMA UP.

It's nice to know where Emma is. I know I can't sleep at night if I don't know exactly what part of the world Emma is in and what language Emma might be speaking at any given time.

well sleep tight, Weezy.

Emma isn't in the UK and that's always a good thing.

I'm sure that it would be fun to visit the places that Emma is traveling to. But, of course, no one on BWW can, because we would never pass the tests we need to take due to us not being cultured enough.

Last I checked, Charlie, Edinburgh is indeed the UK. Nonetheless, it is the *other* side of Hadrian's Wall, and thus will I rest easy in my beloved bed. :3

Nah. I truly doubt Emma Zaks is in Scotland... Regardless of what Emma says, I just assume she's learning how to be cultured in Germany where she likes to spend A LOT of her time.

Hi JKW. The nearest thing to a musical in Dublin at the moment is Macbecks which is really a comedy show but set to music. I am sure you have heard ppl giving out about it as its about Victoria and David Beckham but as its a parody I would recommend it.

Also the Kenwright tour of Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat is coming back for a few weeks. Its an ok production and better than nothing.

As for new musicals.....nope not in the near furture although if we get out big new Theatre built Bono has stated he wants the world premiere of Spiderman the Musical to happen in Dublin....we live in dread.

Anyway hope that helps.

Does anyone know the best website for finding info on Dublin theatre generally? I'm going there at the end of feb and wouldn't mind a night at the theatre while I'm there!

First of all let me take back my earlier recommendation of Macbecks. Even though I went to see it as a comedy and not as a musical it is so dreadful that I considered walking out....avoid at all costs.

As for theatre in dublin. Apart from Ticketmaster there is no other real website. The main theatres all have websites of their own and they The Gaeity, The Olympia, The Gate and The Abbey....hope that helps.

www.entertainment.ie has a theatre section. Just choose the advanced search to put in the dates you'll be there. You'll be far more likely to get a good play than a musical though. They are fairly rare in Dublin.

Weez, what about those of us who aren't on the other side of the wall! (and the wall has holes, you're not that safe!)
