Haven't caught it yet...all my queen-fan-friends love it...but I've never squeezed myself into the theatre to see it.
I went to see Oliver! last week though with Ron Moody playing Fagan...what a guy...80+ and he doesn't look a day over 50...stole the show unsurprisingly.
Best musical ever? Better than Seven Brides, Guys and Dolls, West Side Story, JC Superstar, Brigadoon, The King and I, Into the Woods (personal favourite of mine there), A Chorus Line, My Fair Lady, Chicago, Oliver, La Cage Aux Folles, Little Shop of Horrors, Grease, Oliver, Chess, Fiddler on the Roof, Tommy and Starlight Express? Hmmm...are you sure its not the music thats influencing you here?
I'm slightly biased though as I've worked with the west end casts for 9 of the above shows....and when you do a run of 12 weeks, 10 shows a week, you end up walking away humming the tunes endlessly and fancying half of the chorus line
