I'm looking forward to the opportunity of seeing the show on a Sunday, hopefully it'll bring in more punters than the evening show it replaces. I've never really understood the widespread resistance to Sunday performances (probably because I've worked weekends all my working life and actually prefer time off in the week). But for an industry that relies on maximising attendances, being closed to potential customers on a day when the majority are likely to be available is frankly nuts IMHO.

Came across this picture earlier - the passing of the torch / crown / shoe from one superb actor to another:

Interesting behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage from the official site:

Would love to see more of the same from actual rehearsals at the Palace.

Word is that both the Minogue girls saw PRISCILLA last night. With all the references to them in the show I'll bet Jason was a tad distracted!


(I hear they LOVED it, BTW)

This show has a permanent red carpet set on the pavement outside. Its weekly star count is fabulous!!!
Just shows they have taste!

The "type of opera singer" is soprano Teresa La Rocca.

Mama I think 'La Tracviata'is a Italian restaurant near the racetrack. The CD lists the track as "Intro to I Confess".I don't know what this is from, the piece used earlier in the show - silver outfit on top of bus - is from La Traviata.

I could say something very, very unneccessary about the C being next to the V, but I won't. You are right it is late, goodnight.

Edward Hibbert (of 'Frasier', 'Drowsy Chaperone' and 'Curtains' amongst others) was also at Saturday's show - saw him outside after the matinee. He seemed very enthusiastic about the show and about its aim of a Broadway transfer.

STOP PRESS! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!

THE costume for my return visit to "Priscilla" next month is now ready. It WILL get noticed, PETA will protest at the massacre at a chicken farm that it will resemble and photographs will be posted here!

p.s. It's on my birthday (Sat. July 11th) and I will be celebrating for the whole day - (lunch, pre-show cocktails, post-show dinner, clubbing etc.). If you happen to notice me during the day, please come over and say "hello" and claim your prize (probably a snog or something more explicit depending on how many dry martinis I've had!)
