Did the understudy have any chemistry with Mr Turner? I didnt find much between the two of them when I saw it. Was worth it for the stage door line afterwards though! Oh and I do have tickets for the Streetcar transfer, only just though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2019 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) We saw 2 Billion Beats at The Orange Tree a couple of weeks ago. Superb performances from Shala Nyx and Tanvi Virmani, 90 mins without interval, just the two of them and the stage, absolutely captivating. https://orangetreetheatre.co.uk/about/news/cast-announced-for-two-billion-beats-2023 Edited February 7, 2023 by 2019 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the understudy also? I wouldn’t say there was much chemistry, no. It was okay. I certainly believed they were in an annoying relationship 😅 let us know how street car is! I haven’t gone for tickets as I saw the Young Vic one not so long ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiepaul Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Saw James Yorkston, Nina Persson and the Second Hand Orchestra on Monday in theJazz Cafe. It was a wonderful intimate show. Lots of oldies with beards there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeezLouise Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Went to see Best of Enemies with Zachary Quinto the other day, the story was incredibly itneresting and the play was good until about....75% of the way through it and then something a bit strange happened which took you out of the play. HOwever, would recommend. Think it might be shutting on westend but i heard that it's transferring to broadway.

I thought it was really refreshing. Was progressive without shoving down your throat, the music was aces even if it didn't quite fit the story and it had my very favourite Robert Lonsdale in (who was also in C4's Chewing Gum). The only downside was.... [spoiler ahead] No one wanted the lesbians to get together did they? Debbie downer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeezLouise Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Oh, and also Haley McGee's Age Is A Feeling at the Soho theatre. It had me sobbing by the end, a perfect show that I don't think could be improved upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleverly put together, the songs, not surprisingly, brilliant, and a real emotional punch at the end. Lots of the audience crying. I wasn't crying, I just had something in my eye, obviously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommadawn Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Went to see The Ocean the End of the Lane last night. Superb acting, special effects and music. For once I agree with the critics. Definitely 5 stars. Last night is tonight at Bath but if it tours near you, it's well worth watching.

Jakeyboi135 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Same Giles Brandryth and Judi Dench and GOSH all the dames weekend before last. Something a bit different but a great cause and truly an evening to remember. Believe a stream to watch is still live after a donation.

I didn't realise they had tickets that cheap these days. The theatre's 5 minutes walk from my flat as well, gonna see what else is that price now. Thanks for the recco.

hoils Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Guys And Dolls at The Bridge last night. Pretty much the perfect night out at the theatre. Wonderful staging, barnstorming performance from Marisha Wallace backed up by across the board strong cast and just so much fun. It's a pretty flimsy story, of course, but the production just oozes charm and energy. And Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat was the absolute epitome of a show-stopper.
