With the back catalogue of X Factor performers around (I don't mean just the good ones, the awful ones) can we expect to see different guest stars every week? Didn't they do that in the Morcombe and Wise play?

I'm pretty sure I read something somewhere about seeing "familiar faces"!

The bar seems to be set pretty low on this one, so I wouldn't be surprised if it does become hit. It's just needs to exceed expectations!

Adelphi? What about Bodyguard? :P Its doing great buisness

I think we'd be looking at the start of 2014 at the very earliest. Realistically later. No UK producer is tied to this show yet.

How long are we expecting the Commitments to stick around for? I think the show would be a good fit in The Palace! Where there once were stilettos for Priscilla, how about giant boots!?

The problem with LND was never really the music though... It was everything else! I think Till I Hear You Sing is one of the best things ALW has ever written.

Intrigued to see how this musical turns out. It's the same writing team as Sunset Boulevard, which I think is the best musical Lloyd-Webber has ever written (and that film was never the most obvious choice for a musical).

It's growing on me! You have to get past the awful accents and the dreadful opening number, then you can start to see how this show might be an entertaining night out at the theatre.

The recording is pretty cold and unforgiving too. I think the songs in a live situation would come across a lot better.

I notice Jamie Hendry is currently advertising for a General Manager, Production Coordinator and Production Assistant. I guess if you want the inside scoop for this show you can apply for a job there(!)

I guess it suggests that the show is going to be on a larger scale than his previous productions, whatever scale that might be. I'm genuinely intrigued to see how this turns out...
