Simon Shorten - Saw this guy as Valjean last night. He was amazing, there's no other word for it!!! (18th Feb 2010)

David Thaxton - David is stunning in this role, he is by far the best Enjolras I have seen in the show! His voice is sublime and his stage presence electrifying. I hope he remains in the show for quite a while! (18th Feb 2010)

Richard Woodford - I saw Woody as Galileo yesterday. What a voice! It was lovely to hear his higher range and he has great comic timing. WWRY is a fantastic show. (25th Jan 2010)

Simon Shorten - Simon was on top form yesterday. His first traveller was hysterical :-D some of the faces when he was tasting the food and wine were genius. (24th Jan 2010)

Les Misérables - Awesome show yesterday. Jamie was outstanding as gavroche, def my favourite. He is so cheeky and loveable. Great performances all round, especially jeff as javert. Really missed nancy. Courfeyrac's "shoot the b******" was particularly loud and fierce :-D having not seen the show for 3 months it was lovely to come back and experience a great show. (24th Jan 2010)

Les Misérables - I went to see the matinee performance on Sat 16 Jan 2010 and thought it was fabulous. I saw the new cast in June 2009 and the improvement and the way they have bonded since I last saw hem was extremely apparent. They work fantastically together. The youth and enthusiasm of Marius and Cosette was excellent and Valjean was phenomenal. Having seen the show several years earlier, I have to say the current cast is the best I have seen. (19th Jan 2010)

The Wizard of Oz - Took me right back to my child hood, Adam was totally amazing, looked like he was on a piece of string when he was dancing. Met the lovely mr.cooper afterwards and he stopped for a chat and signed my programme, just wish I'd remembered my camera. Adam Cooper for ALW wizard of oz, you won't find a more wonderful tinman, start the petition NOW!!! (17th Jan 2010)

Blood Brothers - I went to see Blood Brothers Matinee on Saturday 5th December 2009. I didn't really know the story but absolutely LOVED it. Mel C was fabulous as well as the rest of the cast. I cried twice but walked out wanting to go right back in and see it again. The actor that played the Narrator was perfect and very sexy!! (6th Dec 2009)

We Will Rock You - Saw this show WWRY on 29th Nov 09. The show is brilliant, though the script is a passe and holds little interest. The most promising performer was Louise Bowden as Meat. She is a natural performer and added to the glory of the show. I would give her credit far more than anyone else on the show. For me she is the show stealer. If I see the show again, it will be for the performance of Louise Bowden as Meat. (1st Dec 2009)

The Wizard of Oz - One of my favorite performances. I give it a 5 star rating. (30th Nov 2009)

Billy Elliot - Just a wonderful performance. (30th Nov 2009)

Les Misérables - I'm a fifteen-year veteran of Les Mis in London, first time poster. Saw the birthday show tonight, 8 October 2009. It was pretty good overall. David Shannon and Earl Carpenter feed well off each other and are clearly enjoying the end of their runs together. Nancy Sullivan doesn't deserve the criticism that she sometimes gets. She delivers 110% each time. It's not easy to do eight times a week, folks, keep that in mind. She does it.

Ensemble: Jeff Nicholson not having a larger role is a crime. The rest of the group 'click' well together and seem to have some fun on stage, too.

Post-show was the usual. No mention of the occasion pre-show, other than the Cosette image with balloons around her. David Shannon gave a very brief speech at the end thanking all those involved in the production (front of house etc). Too bad he didn't mention the original members (including several orchestra musicians) who have been there since day one and are still there today. Everyone sang happy birthday and confetti sprang forward.

The production is in good shape. Hans Peter and Claude Michel were in attendance tonight. It'll be interesting to see how Hans Peter and Simon work together. They're strong leads, and a new Cosette will hopefully beef up the overall level. (9th Oct 2009)
