The Musicals Thread

I hadn't seen this thread. I went to see dozens as a kid as it was a bit of a family thing.

Realised the last one I saw was Matilda back in 2012. To tie it to a cycling theme it was the same afternoon as the men's road TT. Luckily I had a box so I could follow the results on my phone without disturbing anyone! 😂

That would be removed from the show at the last minute due to being too contentious...

Ditto, a song or thread about Politics would be removed but referred to at some point, with it even ending up in 'The other place', which would of course, then have it's own song too...

We have actually written our own musical over there but I can't list any of the song titles as I would be immediately banned from here! 😉

Maybe a reworking of a G&S ditty to 'A Moderator's Life Is Not A Happy One', keeping an eye on all the miscreants of the parish.

Or maybe "I've got a little list, there's none of them be missed", again applying to the miscreants rather than the mods

Should have mentioned this a while back, we went to London for my daughter's graduation (from a Musical Theatre degree) at the end of July and as a treat went to watch The Devil Wears Prada. None of us knew any of the songs from it in advance, not even my daughter as the soundtrack hadn't been released, although we obviously knew the story from the film. I wasn't sure what to expect but really enjoyed it although admittedly Vanessa Williams may have played a large part in this! I would say it was similar to Kinky Boots but that's possibly due to the subject matter.

We also went to see the balcony scene outside the Palladium which was pretty decent and an interesting idea.
