I’ve been going Bury, bury, berry in my head. The last two sound the same in my accent but the first one rhymes with curry?

Sorry, I say berry. Shall I leave now? I’m not keen on musicals but Mr B loves them.

I pronounce Bury without vowels, Brrry.
sunrise tax:

My Dh loves musicals as well Blossom I go along very reluctantly now & again.

Holiday tax again. View from the arc du triumph.

We should get them together and send them off alone while we go and see something sensible @dontcallmelen.

We really should.

I saw Pride in the couple of weeks when it premiered in Cardiff. Bloody brilliant.

Liking musicals isn’t compulsory, but I find the idea of not liking any of them odd. There’s so much variety it feels a bit akin to saying you don’t like films or books.

Would gladly join in. My parents were in a musical society and we did musicals at school as well.

Saw Tommy! , Oliver. The magic flute, La boheme, ROH - latter two musicals in their day.

Bernstein - all of them

Rogers and Hammerstein My favourite film is the sound of music.

eta Who doesn't like Gilbert and Sullivan

Also not a big fan of musicals!

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee

I'm fond of musicals and theatre generally.
Saw Miss Saigon in April and it was incredible.
Off to see dds friend in a show next week.
I won't watch anything by ALW due to his misogyny and voting record in the HofL (and I find his stuff quite shit).
Can't bear G&S.
I've bought dd tickets to see Hadestown for her 18th.
If any of you get chance to see any of the Goes wrong shows I would really recommend them 👌

We’ll have to set up a sub thread.
I like Singing in the Rain, The Sound of Music and a couple of others but that’s about it.

I love The Sound of Music and Singin in the Rain. Cabaret is great. Paddington was a proper musical with talking , dancing and songs. I do not like sung all the way through musicals or most loud modern ones. I acted in lots of Rodgers and Hammerstein as a child because my mum loved theatre and was a really good actress and singer. Which I kind of forgot until just now.

There are some great sung through musicals. I don’t like Juke Box Musicals. Lazy and trite.
Edit: Cabaret is, indeed great. I’ve been in it twice…

Hadestown is great. Really enjoyed it.

To quote Jefferson in Hamilton ‘can we get back to politics?’ 🤣 (for a minute anyway)
The anti Burnham threads are driving me mad. I don’t even like the guy, I hate the manoeuvring he’s done and I don’t think he’ll be a good PM but they are so ridiculous I keep having to defend him. It’s intolerable.

I haven't read any but it really looks like they are struggling.

Most of those threads have links to the Express 😂

It feels as though there are worries in certain quarters that Burnham might just have a chance of turning things around 🤖

There is not much that they can find to throw at him right now, but I am sure the JCBs are out there, digging away, hoping to find dirt.

Protect our women and girls latest

Ben Cullen, a leading figure in the Oxfordshire's Raise the Colours movement is due to stand trial accused of making indecent images of children.

I came across a very strange musical a couple of years ago about John Maynard Keynes and the Treaty of Versailles. I don’t know if it’s ever been staged, it was a radio version and I really enjoyed it. BBC Sounds.

I say "burry"
Is that wrong? 😬

Just seen that.
Quelle surprise 😡

Maybe my favourite ever Perdy pic 😍
