Ive left prior to the megamix a couple of times at bad shows. Thus negating my need to boo or not clap or pitifully shake my head.

At the insistance of a minor cast member, (one of several trying to engineer a standing ovation during a Megamix after an interminable show), I did indeed rise to my feet which then rather publically marched across the front of the side stalls (I was in the centre blocks of seats) to the nearest exit. Not the reaction he was intending I think.

It felt damn good - and the production was being filmed which may have given them some additional editing to do!!

I saw it last weekend. It was a bad start when the director made an announcement that the cast had worked so hard with no time off that they were ill and so some would be miming, sorry he said the vocals would be ghosted.

They should have cancelled the show.

Its very much in the Dreamboats and petticoats style, with even less care of how the songs are shoehorned in. At one point Paul Hazels character walks on and says ooo I know this one and launches into song.

There are some funny moments, Paul, Verity and Aaron were working very hard to make the best of the material they had, Verity was so underused though a real shame.
