Anyone seen the West End musical show of this? I recommend that you do - it is the fabbest thing you will ever see! Michael Ball and Mel Smith in particular are so funny it actually hurts.

Anyone see the 2007 movie of it too? Bought it this week, absolutely love it, film of the year for me.

Going to see it in April, amongst other things, as part of my A2 drama work (we have to have seen a number of live performances).
I've seen the original film, but not really sure what to expect from this.

The new film is perhaps the most fabulous thing I've ever seen on screen. After listening non-stop to the soundtrack for three weeks before going to see it I ended up squealing throughout the entire movie at the sheer fabulousness of it.

I would love to see it. The last show i saw was Mama Mia which was absolutely brilliant. I've not seen the movie yet, but from trailers i've seen of it, i know i would just love it. I'm not one for watching movies, i usually fall asleep before the end.

Saw Lenny Henry live tonight. Bloody brilliant! He is really really good. He's doing a bloody long tour. So if you get a chance to go see him at a venue near you, i highly recommend you go.

Mind you he couldn't go through the gig without mentioning Comic relief.

Seriously? He leaves me utterly cold.

Ah well, different strokes.

Yeah! honestly his gig was a good midweek rib tickler. I must say i was wandering what he was gonna be like because since his comic relief debut all them yonks ago he'd got a bit dull.
Some of his set was predictale but he had a fair bit of material that nearly had me off my seat with laughter.

If anyone does see him on tour and gets a front seat, wear a mac and take a brolly. He sprays spit over the front 2 rows.
