[lindac]

Anybody seen Whistle down the wind ? is it worth going ?
i want to do a dinner theatre deal and want to know what to go and see any views please x

Haven't seen the play but have seen the film, which is one of my favourites ever.

whats it about i looked for reviews but cant find any

It's about a wanted criminal who hides in a barn on a farm in a rural community. The children find him and they think he is Jesus, so they decide to help him. It's completely charming and the acting of the children in the film is wonderful.

Book's great, film's good but a slightly different slant, from what I can gather from my sister (does the lighting on it) the show is slightly different again, but good.

It closes on the 12th (I think) so if you are going to see it, you need to go now (don't know if it is touring or just closing).

Lovely film. I cry every time I watch it. Wasn't aware it was in the theatre.
link to film details here
Haley Mills was the girl and Alan Bates played the criminal.

Did you know that it was written by Haley Mills' mum?

(I'm full of pointless cr*p ).

Oh, and the Boyzone song "No Matter What" is from the musical.

I saw it at a local theatre before it went into the west end. It was ok, not brilliant though. I found the relationship between the girl and "jesus" quite odd.

The bloke was quite tasty though!

Have you seen We Will Rock You? That was by far a better show!

yes lovely my bigs love it

thanks evrey one iv booked and gojng on the 7th with a meal at planet hollywood covent garden x

Never seen it but often am told that i'm pissing in the wind...

There are some lovely songs in it. I havn't actually seen it but a friend was in the original NYMT production years ago.
