Cant wait to see how its enlarged!!!!

I love Paula Wilcox too, but not so sure about Tracie Bennett. I loved her in Corrie but seeing her in Hairspray, she looked emaciated and actually quite scary.

She was indeed! That added to the scariness. She looked like Cruella De Vil after the dalmatians had eaten all her Valium. Not Glenn Close, the cartoon one.

"Can't wait to see how its enlarged!!!!",

Isn't that your catch-phrase?

And how dare you say it's been 22 years? I will not believe that!

I'm sure you'll both be on the cabaret tables at the front!

I had no idea I was only 10 when I saw the London Palladium production....... [ducks for cover]

"I'm sure you'll both be on the cabaret tables at the front!"

I hope not. Audience participation is NOT my cup of tea, though I suspect they'd pick on the professional drag queen I'll be sitting with instead.

its strange to think that the London Palladium production got such a bad run with dreadful reviews and all the AIDS related **** that so wrongly surrounded it and closed just 8 months later.
Yet just over a year after the production closed a one night concert at the very same theatre was a sellout within hours and tickets were like gold dust right up until curtain time. 90% of the company returned and also some star names in a brilliantly staged evening by Scott St Martin who was the original Chantel. The show was received with astounding positive applause and the occasional ovation- what should have happened during its proper run.
Lets hope 'The Best Of Times' is now and this new production gets a good, healthy run.

You have to get a camera and get a pic of that wall! That sounds fab!

Seeing this in 2 weeks,
I so cant wait
:)

Sounds like I'd better get a ticket booked otherwise I'll miss it again.

"I loved her in Corrie"

Pij: you can't be old enough to remember her in that!

As far as I'm concerned she's been great in everything I've seen her in; even after eating the dalmatians' valium in Hairspray.
