The London production is excellent - our niece had two contracts in it, from her Arts Educational Stage School at Tring.Onelife wrote:As we are on the thyme of musicals l was wondering if any of you have seen the RSC stage musical 'Mitilda'. I think it was about 4/5 years ago that 'Mitilda' was first premiered at the Courtyard Theatre Stratford upon Avon and whilst not initially enthused at the thought of watching school kids singing, dancing and swinging from the rafters l actually thoroughly enjoyed the production.
Just wondering if any of you have seen the London production and if so what did you think of it.....I'm thinking of surprising my wife with a return visit...but please don't tell my wife l've said that

My goodness what a surprise we had. Those 'kids' on stage (assisted by a number of cleverly concealed grownups) were absolutely amazing, their talent shone through. We thoroughly enjoyed the show: the singing, the dancing and the acting were extremely professional, the set design was colourful and imaginative and the show was full of action and drama. It's different but it's a thumbs up from us.

We had four lads who go by the name of "Walk Like a Man" on Arcadia at Christmas - essentially a Four Seasons tribute act. They were superb and many people who had seen Jersey Boys said these boys were even better !!wolfie wrote:OL, go for , 'Jersey Boys,' if you or your dear half are of that era or just like the music/songs.

l can't remember that happening when l last saw Mitilda but then the audience wads probably more reserved in posh Stratford upon Avon......l'll take a walking stick instead thenoldbluefox wrote:Don't get me wrong........................ There's no sadomasochism in it!!! But it's not a sit quietly and clap politely production, much more fast-paced with humour, pathos and energy evoking rounds of whooping, clapping and cheering from the audience. Very enjoyable but going up on stage with your cane will not be permitted.
Hope you are keeping well.
Your good lady has just run off and locked herself in the bathroom !!Onelife wrote:Ah gee thanks for that foxy....l had a smile on my face from start to finish.
I don't think there is anything more enjoyable than seeing talented kids living the dream.
It makes me want another baby lol
Thank you.
