I remember the film well. Not sure I would be able to see it on stage without imagining Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher as the leads. But give us your review!!

I have only seen a small number of plays on stage..all musicals as I remember. I saw Grease in its FIRST run on Broadway. Also saw The Music Man on B'way with Dick Van Dyke...a very short run, but I enjoyed him in it. A bit of trivia..in the Music Man, the little boy was played by 6 year old Christian Slater..yes THAT Christian Slater, the actor.

Shane Richie is the main man. Any body seen this one? Do you remember the film? What sort of thing do you like to see at the Theatre?


I'm sure the show will be great...sounds like it has some great actors.



I went to see Lion King at the Lyceum back in October....it was great fun....lunch at Covent garden was a bit pricey though....£6 for a sandwich...mind you it was yummy. We went on the London Eye the same day.....



Going to see Michael Bolton at the Albert Hall on Wednesday...the ticket was a Christmas present from my kids.



I like to see virtually anything 'live'. ....you can't beat the atmosphere.

The Lion King was amazing.



Last thing I saw was the Tracey Beaker show at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth - I have a 12 year old girl! good show though, we also saw the panto there just after Christmas and a couple of years ago we saw Beauty and the Beast (Disney version) in Plymouth too - brilliant!



Love the theatre - desperate to go to London to see the Lord of the Rings, just struggling to find someone who will go with me.

Apart from 'cirque soleil' which comes to the Albert Hall every new year, I'd also like to see 'we will rock you'....I love that Queen music.



We have a couple of reasonable theatres in Worthing and I went to see cossack dancing....it was good fun and very athletic.



Has anyone seen Riverdance.....makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end when I watch the finale (I've got the DVD)

The bit I remember best, from this distance - apart from the amazingly illegal car-parking I got away with on a roundabout island under the M4 - was the bouzouki player in the band, he was awe-inspiring. One day I'll get myself a bouzouki just on the strength of what he did with it.
