    What did they do to the score? I havent seen it for years. But Ive seen it at least 8 times and wouldnt rush back at €55 in the Gaiety. Although prices in London are gone through the roof, I believe.

    Love to see:

    Wicked
    Billy Eliot
    Les Mes (again....)

    Can we ever hope to get the Tony Awards on Sky?? They show so many rubbish music channels, yet little or no musicals or good country music.

    RTE showed Tonys around 1989 !!!

    His closing was pretty impressive also.

    Just picked up tix for Peter Pan (which I would have preferred around Xmas time, but should be good anyway)

    For the anniversary (20 or 25?) a couple of years ago they re-vamped the score to make it more modern. Kinda more funky...techno...fake synthesiser...

    I think I saw the original version 4 times and the new one once, and I won't be going back.

    We don't have a theatre that could take Wicked...they fly in (and out) over 100 pieces of set during the show. Did the backstage tour in New York a few years back and the tech requirements are phenomenal, even the GCT couldn't take it.

    I would love to go see a production of Ragtime the Musical. Hadn't heard of it before I went to see it in April in Cork, put on by UCC, and it was smashing! The music in it is lovely.

    And then of course I wouldn't be in the slightest bit dissappointed if Wicked or Phantom were to come :D Though having said that about Wicked, I'd be a little weary about it to be honest. Having seen Wicked three times in London now, I would wonder if the travelling show would be as good, I mean set wise / staging quality. I'm probably making no sense, but that's my view of it. Wouldn't turn down an opportunity to go and see it though that is for sure!

    Wicked won't be coming...for the reasons I stated above. They do tour in the US and I have seen a touring production but the tours stops are all weeks/months long and still have the same tech requirements. I have seen Wicked 9 times in 4 cities. Dublin doesn't have a venue.

    Even though they've already said they're coming to Dublin..... my choice would be Avenue Q! :)

    It's just so much fun!

    Go see it!!!

    Sorry, tired, I'd even thanked it... I meant to ask when the tickets were going on sale
